"The Masks of the Goddess":
Contemporary Temple Masks & Ritual Theatre 
in Celebration of the Divine Feminine

Session # 1558  Presented by Lauren Raine MFA)

 "What the audience saw when a dancer looked through the eyes of the mask was the  Goddess  Herself, an ancient and yet utterly contemporary  presence,  looking across time, across the miles." 

Diane Darling, Director, Playwright 

I am honored to be presenting a slide show and talk at the Virtual 2021 Parliament of World’s Religions about the “Masks of the Goddess” Project. 
After studying sacred mask traditions in Bali,  I was inspired to create a Collection of 35 multi-cultural masks, which I dedicated as “Temple Masks” to the many faces of the worldwide Divine Feminine. The Collection travelled to communities throughout the U.S.A. in collaboration with Priestesses, Dancers, Storytellers and Ritualists for over 20 years, bringing the Goddesses to life through the magic of Invocation and Theatre. The Project was concluded in 2019 with an Exhibit at Her Church in San Francisco.  

It was, indeed, a privilege to collaborate with so many people dedicated to the Return of the Goddess.  No artist could ask for more.

​In May of 2019 I will be concluding the 20 Year MASKS OF THE GODDESS PROJECT - in San Francisco, where it began 20 years ago at the 20th Annual Spiral Dance with Reclaiming's Invocation of the Goddess.  It seems a perfect way
to honor this long  Community Project, and the many people I shared it with.

​LAUREN RAINE  will be the  featured artist for January 2019  at the Tucson Clay Co-op.   As she describes her  new collection of ceramic mosaics: 

"Our Lady of the Shards"  lies among the broken shards, debris  and resurfacing stories of the past.  She has been buried by history, and  the
loss of what was once sacred.  And she is also the forgotten work of
those unknown women who wove the ancient stories and birthed our ancestors,  insisting that we  remember and reclaim them."
