What is the sacred or divine feminine?

In this workshop we will look specifically at the term ‘sacred/divine feminine’ and, contrary to our society’s desire to teach you what it is, we will begin by teasing apart the many definitions so that we can discover our personal definition of the word.

Using the body as our guide, we will sink in and begin to ‘feel’ where we might be constricted and/or liberated around our feminine nature. We may discover where trauma, history and society have possibly dictated its definition to us instead of allowing our innate intuitive nature define it.

Join us as embark on what Clarissa Pinkola Estés calls a ‘squinty eye’ journey into our own re-discovering of the feminine.

“The deep Feminine, the mystery of consciousness, She who is life, is longing for our transformation as much as we are. She holds back, allowing us free rein to choose, nudging us occasionally with synchronicities, illness, births and deaths… But when we make space for Her, she rushes into all the gaps, engulfing us with her desire for life and expression. This is what She longs for, this is what we are for: experiencing the Feminine through ourselves. We simply need to slow down, and find where to put our conscious attention. And it is this, this willingness to look again, this willingness to put consciousness onto our places of unconscious, to express what we have always avoided, which starts the process of unblocking, so that She may flow through.”
