I am part of a group called VOID collective that attempts to produce events of transformance art, similar to Ikon in Belfast. We are located in Waco, Texas. We just recently had an event called “Mothers of God” in which we reflected on the following adaptation of a quote from Meister Eckhart: “What is the good if Mary gave birth to the Son of God 2000 years ago, if I do not give birth to God today? We are all Mothers of God, for God is always needing to be born.” We explored what it means to “give birth to God,” to bring God into the world. We did this with a mixture of poetry, personal reflections, ritual, and liturgy in the middle of a bar. We have posted some pictures from the event, which I think work as reflections on “pregnancy, birth, and a new kind of Christianity.” We also posted three “(Mis)Tellings of Mary’s Story” that we used for the event. You can find the photos and reflections here: http://blog.voidcollective.com/ (the two most recent posts)
