The Girl God
Trista Hendren founded Girl God Books in 2011 to support a necessary unraveling of the patriarchal worldview of divinity. Her first book—The Girl God, a children’s picture book—was a response to her own daughter’s inability to see herself reflected in God. Since then, she has published more than 50 books with hundreds of contributors from across the globe.
Kay Louise Aldred is a researcher, writer, and educator, who catalyses individual, institutional and collective evolution – through education, embodiment, and creativity – amalgamating metacognition, intuition, and instinct.
Arna Baartz is an artist, writer, educator and poet. She has been finger-painting from the beginning when her father, also creative, encouraged her by taping paper to the walls of their home and letting her loose with paint. As a result, she is an expressive artist with a belief in non-judgement, often purposely leaving her ‘mistakes’ in an attempt to allow the unfolding to participate in a finished piece. Arna influenced by her mother’s creative story telling, also enjoys stringing words together to create a feeling. Poetry and writing fill many secret corners of her colourful life.
