We come together to hear the pulse of Her nature and the beat of Her Heart through the inner and outer landscapes of Herself/ourselves. In this ten-day Pilgrimage we first take space for inner work to prepare us to walk the body and connect with honour and openness to the Great Goddess in Her many phases and places. We will also take space each day for inner work and creating a space of safety to allow those aspects of our nature to emerge, flow and integrate, allowing ourselves the opportunity to be fully who we are in joy and in life.

Each Pilgrimage is unique in that we follow the flow of the group dynamic and what emerges is always beautiful and ever unfolding, therefore we have an itinerary, which is changeable according to the needs of the group. We come together as women, we walk a while-together awakening to our selves and our many faces and we move on as sisters, connected through laughter, loving, sharing and openness.

WOMAN'S RITES OF PASSAGE

JOIN US ON AN OUTWARD JOURNEY OF INNER EXPLORATION.

 

Connecting to the Ancient One, through Her many faces and places on this blessed Isle, this Pilgrimage will gently and lovingly guide us on a path where we will be opening ourselves to take the space to explore and express the rites of passage in a woman’s life.

This time and space will allow us to move again into those honoured places/spaces within us and rites will become ritual.

We will take these rituals upon  the Land, at places sacred to the Great Goddess, where we will journey in song, in sacredness and in Sisterhood:- unfolding through our own acts of re-membering.

We shall have ceremonies and attunements as our primary expression in our communion with the Great Goddess. Finding our selves through Her, along the contours of Her Body and the expressions of Her nature.

We will start our Pilgrimage with a day of inner work and reflection; recognising that intention which we are bringing into the weave of our fabric.

The itinerary therefore will be open to our needs, whether working outwardly or inwardly upon our needs and expressions.

An important part of our time together will be the inner work. The outer journeying will be the outer expression of the inner movement and shifts. Therefore I have chosen places to stay where we will feel 'held' and which are places of safety and light. They are places wherein we can share space together and work, without needing  to worry about practicalities too much - esp. those that bring forth the face of 'the Mother' within us.

We will start each day with an attunement and meditation and we can take each day as we feel the inner work dictates, either by working 'at home' or by going out onto the land. Therefore the itinerary is flexible - being tailored to our needs and requirements.

The booking form in on the web page and I would appreciate you printing it off and sending it with a cheque for one third of the costs; another third by the end of February and the last third by the beginning of April. Address below

with love and Blessings
