As an artist, Mayumi has been creating Goddess images and writing about Goddesses for 50 years. She asks us to appreciate the female body and all of its attributes, dark and light, and then claim it, embody it, recognize its divinity. And then she asks that we understand that our body is the very body of the earth, and that we are inextricably linked to the planet and the work to preserve it. Mayumi speaks of the privilege and responsibility of living sustainably in Hawaii our beautiful Rainbow State.
