The Art of Becoming 6 week Journey offers an invitation to step outside the boundaries of your life as you know it.
.
To go on a pilgrimage to the unknown. Within a circle of sisters. With direct contact with Elemental, Lineage, and Archetypal forces who guide with extreme love, clear guidance, and unerring support. Empowered by the sweet aloneness of your own being and the wisdom that awaits you there.
Not all Journeys have clearly marked paths and signs.
Not all adventures have an identified destination. Yet all Journeys include an Arrival. They naturally point to the next space you are called to inhabit. As you call forth more of the Wise Woman within you, there will be discoveries. That is a hallmark of any Journey for life is full of discovery.
You’ll use the Andean Medicine Wheel as a guide for your Journey.
As you enter each direction, you have the opportunity to work with the structure of the wheel. It’s a vehicle for transformation and a map which offers you a foundational path. Every direction and helper opens a doorway for you to explore in partnership with your own guiding light: the wisdom of your own Soul.
As you enter each Direction, you learn how each instructs you in a new way of living.
Working at the level of the body, mind/emotions, soul, and pure energy, you travel the wheel with a focus strongly upon your own life. While you are surrounded by your sisters on the journey, each of you walks independently so you may discover a new way of perception, action, and practice.
This class is for women interested in walking a mythical path to receive the luminous seeds which, when nourished, allow you to grow a new Light Body and way of relating to life.
The world needs more Wise Women placed in what may be called the ordinary, capable of the mystical.
The Archetypal Guardians become your guides to this new way of becoming. With additional support from the Power Animals, Elemental Forces, and Lineage of Healers, you shed that which binds you within old stories, limits your perception, and blinds you to your true destiny.
The Art of Becoming is a creative, mystical process.
There is a vital connection between creativity and mysticism. Whether you are exploring the inner space, creating art, or inviting a more conscious living experience, you knowingly or unknowingly are entering the liminal space.
This is the space of wild creativity. Where the caterpillar dissolves into goo and emerges as a beautiful winged creature.
It allows for the essential transformation. The alchemical change from lead to gold. From mundane to magical. Yet all qualities for transformation are within – awaiting the conditions which will encourage growth.
How to proceed, then, in this wildly creative process?
When the habits of everyday living and the protective cement of the mind’s idea of self weigh you down into repeating the same approach over and over.
Mystics and children know this answer. One rediscovered. One never lost.
In order to awaken the inherent wisdom you held as a child and to reclaim your wild creativity, it is essential to make art. Before you reach for your paint brush, take a Sacred Pause to consider that making art is larger than creating a painting, poem, delicious meal, beautiful song, or colorful garden.
It is a way of life known in this tradition as living the Beauty Way.
Both a way of being and a daily practice, the Wise Woman moves through the Medicine Wheel open to learning how to incorporate the Beauty Way into every thought, word, and deed. Understanding that the development of her own Beautiful Soul offers healing to the world in her own unique way.
Becoming is a creative process requiring the skills of the healer, warrior, sage, and visionary.
Whether for an individual, community, planet, or cosmos, it is time to let loose that which is wanting to emerge.
The Munay Ki Rites are energetic initiations from the Andes which work directly on the luminous energy field in order to support this Journey of Becoming.
Shifting you from your foundational energy structure and allowing the gifts within you to emerge in new and often surprising ways.
A beautiful group of evolving wise women are journey around the Medicine Wheel together. We begin October 15th and meet 6 Tuesdays on ZOOM, 6:30 -9:30pm ET.
It no longer surprises me how much is offered within this sacred, intimate, and nurturing circle. I will be facilitating the Journey, yet there are many teachers including the Lineages and Archetypal Forces, as well as every Wise Woman participating in this Journey.
Prepare to fall in love. It’s a natural result when you join with the Becoming of so many lovelies in one place.
It’s time to step onto this wheel of transformation. I hope you feel the call to emerge into the next level of your personal becoming.
Let your heart guide you. In this and in all things.
Peace be with you and with all. No exceptions.
The Japanese Society of Forest Medicine researches the therapeutic benefits of forests on human health and wellbeing. Forest bathing involves walking slowly, mindfully as you open the senses, notice your response, and enjoy the ecosystem. Statistics indicate that the average American spends 93 percent of the time indoors and about ten hours a day on social media. That can’t be good for your health. Forest bathing research revealed benefits such as strengthening the immune system, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, boosting overall sense of well being, and improving cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Learn the one essential skill that allows you to face any challenge with confidence, sturdiness, and inner calm.
More than a technique. It’s a game changer.
Life is stressful. Always.
If you pause for a moment, you’ll see there is always something stressful happening. It might be mild, like when you’re running a bit late for an appointment. Or significant, like dealing with a major loss or facing a radical change in your life. If there’s a weather disaster, a country in disarray, or a threat to your livelihood, the stress meter goes way up.
One cool Spring morning, I stepped on the treadmill at the gym looking forward to walking a few miles. Recovering from an injury, I had to walk at a moderate pace so I had brought my copy of What Is Enlightenment? magazine to explore. I always found something to inspire me within this publication focused upon consciousness, culture, and cosmos.
Stress is a natural experience in life. It’s often viewed as a doorway to disruption of wellbeing, peace of mind, and a clear navigational path in a challenging situation.
I’m a bit of a news hound these days. As one who hasn’t watched a newscast in years, I’m surprising myself. Ordinarily, I wait for the news to come to me. And it does. When something is important for me to know or respond to, I hear about it. Kind friends, clients, my husband, or a random stranger share a soundbite which cues me to look into a situation further. I’ve been very comfortable with this level of engagement for years now.
In the midst of our country’s woes, I’ve got Lucinda Williams singing in my head.
“You can’t rule me
you wanna go and tell me what’s good for me
you wanna tell me what I’m payin’ for
Well, the game is fixed, it’s plain to see
I ain’t playin’ no more”
I drove through a hail storm today. It began gently, offering a musical accompaniment to my journey. Intensifying, the hail noisily demanded my attention.
