I am a Quantum Feminist—a cosmology weaver inviting us into an emergent vision of Earth(ship)/Mother(ship) as she moves through a necessary evolutionary leap, working to restore planetary balance and catalyze a new level of collective consciousness. **Quantum Feminist Cosmology** arises from our deep-rooted heritage in goddess culture and is encoded within our mitochondrial DNA, the matrilineal energy source of our cells.
