Abstract
This transdisciplinary inquiry is a personal and academic inquiry into Goddess Spirituality in contemporary society. It focuses on the stories of women who joined a Goddess Temple in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina. The central inquiry question is: What are the motivations and lived experiences of women who are drawn to Goddess Spirituality and who choose to join a Goddess Temple? Organic inquiry and narrative inquiry will be employed in order to collect the stories of these women, and the women’s narratives, or tellings, will be analyzed using The Listening Guide (Gilligan, C. & et al., 2006). These will be contextualized within the broader literature of Goddess Spirituality, thealogy, and ecofeminism.
