***There are two concurrent groups in this Series: Initiatory Mentorship for women ages 20-35 and Embracing Wisdom for Women mid 30s and up (see below).

2020 program dates: January 18, February 15, March 14, April 11, May 9

This program brings together 12 women ages 18-35 for a 5 month journey to deepen your capacity to be of service in the world through honing the instrument of your heart. It is an opportunity to receive mentoring and support around bringing forth your unique gifts, recognizing and challenging limiting beliefs, deepening your capacity for joy and connection. Together we look at what needs clearing and integrating, what stories, patterns and beliefs are no longer serving who we are and what we are here to do and lean into a circle of support to celebrate, hold and water our vision.

Engaging practices of elemental nature-based ceremony, inquiry, heart centered facilitation, the way of council, dream work and community ritual in a circle of women, we enter a time of listening, letting go of what is not true, and opening to our essential selves. With the map of the wheel of life, we explore personal, relational, communal, global, aspects of mind, body, spirit and heart.

In this culture of competition, consumption, achievement, productivity, speed and ego, it is courageous, radical activism to slow down and listen to the call of the soul, to be with all the parts of ourselves that make us who we are, the pain and the magic, the shame and the glory, and to act in integrity, integrated whole, from our deepest wisdom and compassion. This is an opportunity for revelation and remembering your naturalness and unique expression, a new and old way of being that is rooted in our connection to the earth, each other and the holy wild living world.
