Opening to Grace:

Connection, Acceptance and Wealth of Love

• What if your ‘girl-child’ heard stories and poems of Goddess when growing up?
• What if the collective stories and metaphors of women from history, religion or even modern culture included images of a God/Divine/Creator that looked liked women?
• What if we re-birthed your ‘girl-child’ into your own true divinity, into the Goddess who looks like you?

Truly loving ourselves as women means that we embrace and discover the full expression of divinity within us. For many women, stories and metaphors of the Divine Feminine ‘in our image’ have been scarce or even non-existent, leaving out a significant part of the Divine Story. Awakening to Grace invites us to cherish and embrace our deepest sense of empowerment, self-worth and connectedness.

As we explore a Great Spirit, in images and representations that look like women and celebrate the ‘girl-child’ in each of us, we experience a more full and deep understanding of the Great Mystery that lives within us. This is a big shift and it demands new ways of seeing who we are and how we fulfill our needs.

We will explore these concepts and so much more within the safe and respectful space of a ‘Circle’ process. Everyone is equal within the Circle – in voice, experience and value. Circle is an ancient tradition – each of us has ancestors who sat in circles together, perhaps around a fire … singing, dancing, telling stories, and sharing their lives with each other. In those circles people found solutions to their problems, they laughed and played, celebrated and grieved together.

In this 4-Part Series, we will draw on the shared wisdom and experience within our group and develop a supportive community to carry us forward in this new era of a broader more inclusive understanding of the Divine Feminine.

What you will gain and the needs that will be met:

• A real experience of circle and the power of self acceptance that goes with you for life
• New ways to think about what you really need and how to live your true heart
• A gentle and safe place to unravel old patterns and teachings to make way for the new
• Experience the power of your voice as a leader of your own life and in your community
• Celebration of your own true feminine expression of power in the world
• Ceremony which heals the lost and hidden or abandoned voice of the Divine Feminine within … a place to claim and embrace the fullness of one’s own divinity
