Imramma crossing

An invitation to join us for a winter solstice journey of discovery into the sacred feminine – healing the deepest of ancestral wounds to empower you to step forward into your wholeness.

Waiheke Island

It is said that crossing deep waters, on a spiritual pilgrimage, is a journey of the soul back to ones divine self.  The ancient Celtics identified this as an Imramma.  When one stands at the edge of the sea where land and waters join together, the boundaries of two worlds align and one can slip through the mystical doorway that eludes most humans.  We follow the red and golden threads of our life into our soul, will you come and follow yours.

June 17-21, 2019

As the world stands in stillness, witness to the events that have transpired in Christchurch, we as a global nation have been jolted into reality that we must step up and take a new role of leadership.  We must take our individual stories and wounds and rewrite them to assume the roles our souls are destined to play if we truly desire to create change.  We are being asked to set in motion new ways to lead and guide with the example that has been displayed to the world by Jacinda Ardern.  We stand on the threshold of riding this new wave of leadership at a  time of great opportunity to evolve and expand so we live our full purpose for ourselves and in service of all.  An essential part of this process of tooling up and stepping forward is our deep reconnection with the natural world enabling us to have a deep relationship with our being, not just our doing.  Based on the premise that the visible world is touched and influenced by invisible forces or spirits that affect the lives of the living, Shamans have worked with the spirits of nature for healing, survival, and knowledge. By learning from the plants and animals, from the rocks and mountains, from the winds and waters, the sun, moon, and stars, shamans helped their peoples live in harmony with the universe.  When we pause and find the stillness offered in the natural world we discover there is a heart opening that offers a deep state of inner peace.  When we are in this stillness of a peaceful heart, creative solutions to challenges are discovered.  Our heart is filled with joy, peace and excitement for life.  There is no room for judgment, jealousy, anger and fear.  We find our courage to step forward and lead by example.  To help those  who wish to activate their evolutionary self and take this leap, two powerful women have collaborated for the first time to join their magick together to hold a deeper transformative container and a journey, a personal pilgrimage to birth the magickal child and release the feminine energies in ourselves.

This retreat will offer experiences in both the mystical and the practical, as we ground the teachings into practices, tools and rituals for your continued flowering in your life.

A peak into the week we have planned!

 

Day 1 – Monday – Full Moon of June 17 

The full moon opens the gateways into the realms of mystery.  We will call upon and activate the wild woman, the raw and passionate one, the untamed and undomesticated to help.  By activating the wild woman who lives within you, one can bring more love, beauty and sensual magick your way.    We will work with the grandmother and grandfather trees for sacred ritual.

Day 2 – June 18 – Planting the Seeds for change

This day is dedicated to the rediscovery and remembrance of our divine power. Through learning to awaken this aspect of ones expression, you tap into the creative potential that exists within the void.  Joy is returned, play is expressed and the seed of hope is planted. We begin to explore your vulnerable self, time travel to our inner maiden to heal, integrate and love what is ready in this part of your journey.

Day 3 – June 19 – The Gestation of the Seed

Going deeper into the aspect of the Goddess as we work with the DIVINE MOTHER.  The Mother represents ripeness, fertility, fulfillment, stability, and power.  The image of the Mother as an eternal giver of life was one of the first religious images that can be found. Before patriarchal gods appeared, the Goddess was revered in her aspect as the Creatrix.  A mother goddess is the personification of nature, motherhood, fertility, creation, and destruction. When equated with the Earth or the natural world, these goddesses are often referred to as Mother Earth.  The egg in ancient times was a symbol of the mother goddess and of birth: the sun emerged from the cosmic egg.   While our collective humanity has lost sight of the ways of the green world, those who follow the earth religion hunger to touch and be touched by the powers and splendor of nature. In this exchange, we awaken to the living world. We will work with reparenting yourself and activating your own nurturing mother that is supported by the great mother.

Day 4 – June 20 – Today is a day of creative expression of the self.  The magickal child inside is stirring and you are asked the following: 

  • What is unfinished in your life and why?
  • What magnificence would you achieve in your life if you decided to become totally and blissfully impervious to hostile criticism and rejection?
  • What great thing would you attempt if you knew you wouldn’t fail?
Every situation you have encountered, every challenge you have faced was meant to bring you to the now.  NOW is the right time for you to accept your magnificence.  As human beings we are meant to obtain mastery over turbulent events in our life. 2019 the Year of Birthing the Magickal Child is a year when we have repackaged and reinvented ourselves and are ready and prepared to step into the world with a new perspective allowing our gifts and talents to shine.

Day 5 – June 21 – The Winter Solstice – Rebirthing into the Full Expression of our Divine Male and Female essence as the Magickal Child

The WISE WOMAN is a symbol of the inherent wisdom that comes from experience. She has lived through love, sorrow, hope, death and fear, to gain a wise and confident spirit. Through these experiences she has learned the secrets of life and death, the mysteries beyond this world. The wisdom of the Wise Woman comes only after learning the lessons of non-judgment and compassion. She is the mysterious old woman who possesses the knowledge of all worlds, the receptive and sensitive part of us, which we need for personal wholeness.  Celebrated in the sacred stones of Stoney Batter the most ancient beings connected to the Wise Woman.  We will play and encounter the wise women within to now be your guide forward, and help you design your life from this place so you can fully flourish in the world.  We will also teach you practices and rituals for your life to continue this journey forward.
