On Mother's Day we celebrate the love and care our mothers have for us; we know that too often we take our mothers for granted, relying on their love and all that they provide. For many reasons, the Earth is usually thought of as a mother - the mother of all living things, from whom we come, and who provides for us. Join us as Dr. Noonan reminds us of the often-invisible nature of mothers - and the Earth Mother's work and care and encourages mindfulness and respect for the Earth and all the mothers in our lives.

Dr. Noonan earned a Ph.D. in Folklore and Mythology from UCLA, has been following the path of the Goddess in earth-based spirituality for almost twenty years, and is ordained through Temple of Diana, a feminist religious organization dedicated to women and the Goddess. She teaches at UCLA and Cal State Northridge.
