Every year we choose collectively and intuitively one of the Goddesses to guide us that year.We open ourselves up to the qualities of the Divine Mother /Feminine that that Goddess embodies within ourselves as women and send those qualities energetically and spiritually out into the world. She reveals Her Self to us in very deep and nurturing ways.

With unconditional love the Divine Mother is embracing us.
She is giving birth to our baby self, to honesty, innocence and a pure heart.
Mother Mary is calling us to soften and to be our true nature of Divine Love.
Oh, Divine Mother, My heart belomgs to you.
Flowers of Devotion I offer at your blue Lotus Feet.
Oh, Divine Mother, You are deeper than the Sea.
More golden than the shimmering Sun as it sets behind the Mountains at Night.
My soul it rests in Your warm Bosom as I think of the Bliss to come.
When every soul ever born will realize Your Love.

Dauphin Island Retreats
We gather again on this sacred island, site of the ancient shell mounds, where in past centuries native medicine women from throughout the world gathered during the winter months to share their ancient wisdom and to honor their grandmothers who came here to be buried.
This island is also a very special place to connect with nature-- discovering birds, dolphins, seashells, and your deepest self--in the beauty of sand, ocean, incredible sunrises and sunsets.
We are going back to Dauphin Island as a way to help support our island friends and heal the Gulf.
Come join us in this heartfelt service.

Personal Retreats
In the Garden of Her Spirit
Befriending the Goddess Within
From the time of Matriarchy , woman's spiritual journey has continued. In those ancient times, she was in touch with the forces of nature, her body and her nurturing qualities. Innately she was a healer. She was the mother of all. She was respected and honored. She had an prominent role in society. She knew who she was. As time passed , women's connection with her inner knowing, wisdom and strength diminished. In the Garden of Her spirit, woman re-experiences her innate being. She opens up to the flower buds of her own spirit and awakens to the depth of her woman's spiritual power. Like a river she flows with her feeling nature and tunes in to subtle pranic energies, vibrating and connecting with the flow of life within her self. In the Garden of her Spirit she learns to recieve nurturing from these same subtle energies within nature, air,water, plants, animals and spirits. She befriends all of life as part of herself. She becomes the living Goddess, creatress from within.
