Exhibition Open from 11-5 each day.

The goddess banners represent approximately 30 regions across the globe, spanning millennia, and bring to life multiple ancient and modern cultures where the sacred feminine is celebrated and revered.

The Goddess Icon Spirit Banners made their debut in 1995, at the Celsus Library in Ephesus, Turkey. Since then, the Goddess Banners, which began with eighteen and now number over 300, have traveled around the globe in over forty countries, at conferences, universities, sacred sites, museums, festivals, kindergartens, a golf course, a musical, a funeral, and a woman’s prison. They have hung at many sacred sites: Machu Picchu, Chartres, Kathmandu, Putuoshan, and Jeju Island.

For those who have had the privilege to be in the presence of the goddess banners know the impact they have on both the internal and physical space of the people and the area where they are hanging.  These banners hold numinous energies and shift an ordinary space into a sacred one.  The art embodies a rare power that transcends words and allows the spirit of the divine to be encountered, felt, and experienced in a very personal way.  This was Lydia’s goal – to bring back the sacred feminine and their stories through an art form that fostered inclusivity, easy access, and profound inquiry into one’s own life journey and to reshape modern HIStory to include HERstory.
