Heal and accept what appears to be dark and unlovable in the psyche. This will, paradoxically, assist us to own our golden shadows: the part of ourselves that is more magnificent than we believe we are. Our greatest fear is not our darkness but our light. Using Shadow Work, we'll embrace the ugliness and the beauty contained in our previously unexpressed and disowned rage, fear, grief, and joy. We'll find the courage to hold and to own it all.
Through the opening of our voices, something raw and authentic is available,
beyond what mere words or song can convey. Crack open the sound in our
bellies and hearts. Voice the truth of our pain, courage, praise, and the
inner seed of greatness. Song, movement, rhythm, energy, and emotion will
be used safely and skillfully to create powerful life-changing rituals.
Be prepared for depth, compassion, gentleness, and intensity. Women's healing
and empowerment is our passion. Diversity is welcome. This is an opportunity
for women to participate actively in collective cultural change together.
