11.00am TRANSFORMING DEEP WOUNDS TO THE FEMININE
With Kathy Jones and Priestesses of the Goddess and Avalon.
Many women are and have been abused, attacked, raped and even killed just for being women, in this life and in previous lives. Men too have been abused for honouring the Goddess and women, and the feminine in themselves. By the power of the ancient Chak-Anna we will allow ourselves to take a deep journey into our memories from this life and from previous lives to the places where our wounds lie, waiting to be revealed, expressed, transformed and healed. In this safe, caring, Goddess and woman-loving space we will have the opportunity to release long-held emotional, psychic and physical wounds and begin the process of transforming and healing them, so that we can truly move into our power as women and men of the Goddess.
Be prepared, the ceremony will be noisy, emotional, moving and deeply transformative. It may not be suitable for young people. Bring cushions, blankets or sheepskins to lie down on the floor.
Venue: Posada El Remanso
