Ecofeminism in Goa: The Breath between Land and Woman

Goa is one of those rare places where the land speaks through its women. Dr. Maryanne Lobo explores this intimate communion through the lens of ecofeminism as a lived philosophy rooted in Goan breath and rhythm.

Unlike societies where the feminine and the natural are subdued, Goa’s matrilineal memory holds fast. Women, in their everyday gestures — drawing water, grinding grain, adorning the tulsi — renew an ancient covenant between spirit and soil. Ecofeminism in Goa is a living remembrance. It is the Earth speaking in a woman’s voice — measured, enduring, and profoundly local. It reminds us that sustainability is never a modern invention, but a story continuously told in kitchens, shrines, and courtyard wells.

Dr. Lobo’s reflection opens a window into this strength, where faith is inseparable from ecology, and where the feminine remains the bridge between the human and the divine.
