We Are The Healers, We Are The Light
The schedule is set up so that this year's workshops flow into one another as we learn that "We are the Healers, we are the Light". We will start the weekend by using Opening Circle to reawaken and spruce up the Women's Circle by working together to physically set our intention space. We then move together directly into "pampering ourselves" by making self care products that we can use and share throughout the weekend. Then onto setting our internal space by discussing the Divine Feminine in all its forms, followed by Lifting our own Veils to find the Divine within our selves. After the Community potluck we will join around the evening fire sharing stories, songs of power, and drumming.
Saturday, we will wake up with simple movement (yes there will be coffee and hot tea involved) followed by finding strength and inspiration first in Fiction and then in History as we learn about and remember Women of Power. After lunch, we spend more time honoring the physical and building Community together with body painting and labyrinth building. After dinner, we learn more about Women of Power in the story of Bella Donna. Then we will honor ourselves as Women of Power by lighting the Labyrinth and experiencing The Women's Warrior's Blessing at the Bonfire, followed by drumming/dancing/singing.
Sunday, we will start again with movement (and coffee/tea) then move into our final learning, first about ourselves as Agents of Evolution, and then from our Elders in discussion of themselves and the Paths that they have walked, as Agents of Conscious Change so that we can send ourselves back out in to the regular world, empowered by our own strength as Healers; filled with an awareness of our Inner Light; as the Agents of Evolution and Change that we truly are. Closing Circle will be simple, brief and intended to ground us all into ourselves as we prepare to re-enter the everyday world with our new learning.
