Dear Friends and Family,

 

You may remember my sister Suzanne, and it is to her memory that we dedicate this clip.  She knew the story of Suzanne and cross-examination - the tapestry in the clip used to hang in our hall.  My human genome results were hers too. Together we shared Slovenia’s passion for nature, its fabulous hot springs and pilgrimage treks to its river sources.  

 

This is my only regret:  Suz didn’t yet know the connections of her name with water, French placenames, Celts, and the Levant.  How she would have relished every one of those!         https://youtu.be/4GllPAEGias

 

On the subject of kinship - our recent trip to Europe helps us connect dots that before seemed so unrelated. We are excited to uncover and share other intriguing aspects of Europe’s past with you, with all of their global implications.  Thanks for your forbearance, interest and input with our film-making and, even more so, with our search for ancestral truths.

 

May all women thrive once more!

 

All best wishes for joyous holly-days,

Jacqui and Blair

You are cordially invited to attend a compelling free Zoom session, scheduled on July 11 at 6 p.m. as part of a program series sponsored by NextNow, a group of technologists, humanitarians, and futurists focused on providing stimulating, meaningful exchanges on vital themes in our rapidly changing world. 

"Jacqui’s ~30 minute slide talk and film will center on her many years of research on Europe and the Pre-Christian era, some 3000 years ago when women held the status of partner with men in the Celtic culture. Her work culminates in powerful revelations and insights chronicled in her Hidden Women book series. Her presentation will challenge some of our established historical understanding about women’s roles in ancient Celtic/European cultures and show how the forces that diminished women’s elevated positions for centuries, are again threatening women’s freedoms today. In Women and Freedom, Jacqui weaves powerful correlations in Europe’s past that relate to America’s past and present dilemmas. 

 A graduate of Stanford Law School who practiced in the field of women’s rights, Jacqui will field questions about her 20-year quest and discoveries. Her husband Blair, former partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and former US Naval Submarine Officer, will provide a science perspective."
