This evening will be dedicated to some of the life-nurturing characters who have inspiredCanberra’s A Chorus of Women.Among them are those we call our ‘spiritual greatgrandmothers’,including the Englishwoman Eglantyne Jebb (1876-1928), North Americans Jane Addams (1860-1935) and Julia Grace Wales (1881-1957), and Australian Eleanor Moore (1875-1949).Others, like New Zealander Jacinda Ardern (born 1980) and Swedish Greta Thunberg (born 2003),are global spiritual leadersof our time. All live by thefirst story of the world that is forever bubbling up from The Wellsprings, regenerating possibilities for harmony, fulfilment of potentials and ecological balance.
All have lived in times whentheother story of the world seems dominant, withscapegoating, revenge and desecration of natural lawbringing vicious cycles of discord, trauma and war. With help from C G Jung and archaeomythologist Marija Gimbutas, Glenda will set out the dynamic structures of these ‘two stories of the world’, which drive the action ofher big works for citizens choruses.
A Chorus of Women’s musical leaders Johanna McBride and Meg Rigby will join Glenda and storyteller Miriam Pickard as performance ensemblefor the evening. More singers will bring their voices for harmonies and singalong video clips ofone or two favourite ‘wellspring’ moments from our Passion productions.Dr Glenda Cloughley is a Jungian analystwho loves to tell stories, compose music and sing. Another of her long-timedelights is encouraging the creative spirit in people to stir up social equivalents to C G Jung’s notion of individuation.
For 17 years, within the collaborative culture of A Chorus of Women, she has written many songs and largeworks for citizens choruses that follow the course of regeneration law from lament to renewal. A Chorus of Women has staged numerous major productions of Glenda’s "Songs to the Earth" (2006), "The Gifts of the Furies" (2008-12), "A Passion for Peace" (2015) and "The People’s Passion" (2018 and 2019).

h relevance for therapy and personal growth. Bruce looked at this concept from a different perspective that of implicit learning which has considerable research backing. This has implications for discovering our earliest spiritual awareness which will also be explored.
