Discover the Transformative and Liberating Powers of the Black Madonna
What would it be like to receive the guidance and support of a powerful, compassionate healer to help you on your journey through life’s challenging times… and into the light of self-knowing, clear visioning, healing, and purpose?
There is such a healer and patron of transformation, and we can all access her healing energies, guidance, compassion, and support.
She’s the Black Madonna, or Black Virgin, depicted in centuries-old icons and modern-day artwork throughout the world — her likeness found in virtually every spiritual tradition.
She represents the deeper dimension of the Sacred Feminine — instinct, sensuality, and connection to nature — drawing from the energies of earlier representations of the Holy Virgin and Mother found in cultures around the world.
She is known as a powerful, heavenly queen, a suffering mother, a perfect nurturer.
She also represents our roots, where we came from and what is inherent — and possible — in all of us, beneath the surface.
On Wednesday, February 24, celebrated author and teacher China Galland will introduce you to Black Madonnas from around the world — and ways you can open to her healing archetypal energies.
You can register here for Discover the Transformative & Liberating Powers of the Black Madonna: Open to the Archetypal Energies of the ‘Divine Feminine’ Healer That Appears in Our Time of Need.
During this heart-opening mini-workshop, you’ll:
- Discover the Black Madonna as a powerful archetype that can help us access healing, transformation, and liberation in difficult times
- Learn the fascinating history of the Black Madonna and how her image is present in every spiritual tradition
- “Meet” the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, Poland, and discover her miraculous healing powers sought by thousands on pilgrimage annually
- Discover the Black Madonna of Brazil — the “Mother of the Excluded” — and how her transformational energies can help us heal disparity and racism
- Experience a potent guided-imagery practice to call in the Black Madonna to help you resolve a current challenge and invite her to become a loving ally in your life journey
It is in our journeys through the unknown that this Great Mother of healing and transformation comes forth… to not only embrace us and lead us to the light, but to constellate her all-encompassing sacred wisdom within us.
She’ll help you open to your truest self, to remember and embody the power for healing, wisdom, and inner strength you already hold, and to form a clear vision and way forward.
You can RSVP for free here!

About China Galland
China Galland, MA, is a writer, filmmaker, riveting storyteller, university lecturer, pilgrim, and former wilderness guide. China has lectured at Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Prescott College, and other universities among others. She has led pilgrimages to Nepal, India, France, and Spain, and traveled in Eastern Europe and Latin America. She has appeared on Good Morning America, Bloomberg TV, PBS, NPR, and PRI’s To the Best of Our Knowledge.
China’s book on international women activists, The Bond Between Women: A Journey to Fierce Compassion, was a finalist for the “Best Spiritual Book” award from Books for a Better Life. A Hedgebrook Institute’s Residency Award for women writers helped her complete the book. China has been a Professor-in-Residence at CARE, the Center for the Arts, Religion, and Education, at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley.
China is a native Texan and prize-winning author of nonfiction, including Love Cemetery: Unburying the Secret History of Slaves and Longing for Darkness: Tara and the Black Madonna. She is currently completing a documentary film, Resurrecting Love, sponsored by the San Francisco Film Society. The documentary grew out of the controversy over access, race, and private property that was ignited by the publication of Love Cemetery. Statewide hearings followed. Though a potent national controversy remains over cemeteries with the remains of enslaved people, Texas cemetery law was changed as the result of her book.
China received the prestigious national “Courage of Conscience Award” from the Peace Abbey (Sherborn, Massachusetts) at the Harvard Foundation. Students, debaters, and choir members of historically black Wiley College (home of The Great Debaters) and Marshall, Texas, volunteers sparked the interest of predominantly white East Texas Baptist University students to join the work. China’s documentary gives us a little-known avenue to work on healing racism and a radically new way to teach American history.
China was also the first woman Assistant to the City Manager of Dallas, Texas, and Director of the Citizen Assistance Office in addition to organizing the first National Conference of Citizen Assistance Offices in the U.S.
