A journey with the sacred feminine. Awaken into the transformation of a greater belonging through myth.
ONLINE COURSE Tuesday October 20 & 27th and November 3rd, 7-9pm AEST
The forest beckons Ancient wide trunked trees, heavy with leafy boughs create long shadows Darkness whispers around you Enchantment scents the air Mystery enfolds you in its wise embrace, Who walks in is rarely the one who walks out Myths are like dreams, truths cloaked in symbols.
In these times of prophecy, during the ‘great unravelling’, the old tales are our way-showers. We need stories that have risen up from the earth and though the doorways of the Other World to guide us, stories that will illuminate hidden paths of initiation and transformation. We need their resonant layers of meaning, their rich and potent imagery, to inspire our courage and hope. For such times as these, rational logic will open no locked door. The key is found in your unleashed wild imagination, visions and questions as vast and encompassing as the sky.
Fairy tales were never written solely for the provenance of children. They hold far darker and richer truths. Through THE BRIAR ROSE story: Reconnect with what has been exiled from your life and integrate it personally, as well as for the collective. Awaken to your fullest life expression, through trusting and remembering your dreams and embracing your hidden gifts in their wholeness, light and shadow, as one.
You may know this story as Sleeping Beauty At its core, it’s about power and disconnection, how patriarchy dismisses the dark feminine and how you too, might dismiss the gifts of your shadow. It warns you to be wary of entrancing spell weavers and how to kick free of their sticky webs. Some say magic is dead, but spells are cast now by emotions, words and stories, by the media, by those you endow with authority, those that take your power, your joy or creativity, those that bind you into smallness. Briar Rose is about dreaming yourself awake and embracing the wild fullness of your potential.
THE TANGLED WOOD In this three-week program you will be • Illuminating your true gifts of soul • Uncovering more creativity, courage and visionary dreaming • Claiming what was split off or excluded, what wasn’t allowed to be ‘invited to the table’ long ago • Discovering what the thirteenth fairy may have gifted you • Discovering what may long to be awakened within you
The course is powerful, joyful, interactive and experiential, with group and individual processes, ceremony, story, connecting with the mythic realms, journey work, movement and playing with your creativity. I really look forward to being with you, and exploring the power of myths as transformational agents in our lives and the world.
