The Goddess In Art is a cable TV series that began in 1986 and ran until 1991. Dedicated to the Return of the Goddess, the series explored the legacy of this oldest tradition in art as well as feminist spirituality in contemporary art. The moderator, Starr Goode, interviewed scholars to uncover Her suppressed history and artists who were inspired by a radical re-imagining of the feminine.

Witch, peace activist, and teacher of earth-based, feminist spirituality, Starhawk visits the show to celebrate the 10 year anniversary and reissue of The Spiral Dance, a seminal book on the religion of the Goddess. The conversation reflects on the zeitgeist of the Goddess movement and the many books being published about Her and how much the Goddess has become a part of modern consciousness. A momentous time with Berlin Wall coming down and the end of the Cold War. Starhawk speaks of the importance of renewal through spiritual practice to avoid burnout from political activism.
