by Carol Lynn Pearson<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Much of Carol Lynn\u2019s life has been devoted to the search for the feminine divine, a search that culminated in writing Mother Wove the Morning<\/strong>. The play is made up of sixteen women throughout history searching for the female face of God – the feminine divine. The original script was a one-woman-show. But it has now been adapted for multiple performers with subsequent productions as an “equity showcase” in New York City, as well as by high schools, colleges and community theatres across the country. It all began in 1989 when Carol Lynn rented her local community theater in Walnut Creek (CA) for two weekends, sent out press releases, sold tickets, and opened the play, believing at least her friends would show up. They did. And lots of other people. The event sold out and she extended again and again. Subsequently she played across the country and abroad, ultimately doing over 300 performances, one on Crete for the International Partnership Conference, invited by Margarita Papandreo, first lady of Greece, and author Riane Eisler. Carol Lynn learned that the hunger in her own heart for the Mother was matched by the hunger in the hearts of thousands of other women and men. A filmed version of her performance won an award from Booklist as one of the best fifteen videos of the year.<\/p>\n
