		<p>"This little wooden sewing box was made by Rose's great grandfather. All of the women in Rose's family sew or work with threads and fabrics in some creative way.  Rose feels the threads of connection, shining and strong and colorful, with her family and ancestors.  The tradition continue in her artwork in her stitched drawings on transparent fabric overlays on her paintings." </p>

		<h4>Abstract</h4><p>This presentation was part of the <em>From the Realm of the Ancestors: Language of the Goddess</em> conference sponsored by the Women’s Spirituality Program at CIIS (June 12-14, 1998 at Cowell Theatre, Fort Mason in San Francisco) in honor of the pioneering archeologist Marija Gimbutas. The conference focused on the necessity of refocusing our collective memory, and to the cultivation of vision, creativity, insight, and the celebration of life. The conference was moderated by Joan Marler and featured presentations by scholars and artists who acknowledge the significance of Dr. Gimbutas’ research and theories. Gimbutas’ discovery of Goddess-centered, matristic societies that preceded the development of patriarchy in Europe has initiated a new perception of European prehistory that challenges traditional assumptions about the origins of western civilization.</p>
