Do you crave the chance to sit in sacred space with other women, in the spirit of sharing and sisterhood? To step away from daily life for a moment and nourish the deeper, more soulful you? To explore the multi-faceted archetypal nature of the feminine, and focus in on your goals for personal growth and manifestation in a space of powerful energetic support and accountability?
This is what a women's circle is for. To support learning and growing together in a uniquely feminine way.
The Sacred Feminineis both a source of great wisdom and beauty inside each of us as women, and an archetypal template to use in coming to understand and experience the deeper spiritual potential of our nature as women.
An archetype is a subconscious structure, or energetic pattern, that stands behind human expression and may be used or embodied by people in daily life interactions. For example: a woman may embody or act out the archetype of "mother" with her children, the archetype of "lover" with her significant other, and the "warrior" archetype as she fights to defend a cause she believes in through her work in the world. An archetype can also be a source of energy to commune with and be guided by, as people do with saints, animal totems, etc. The "Great Mother" archetype of the Sacred Feminine is an example of an energetic source that can be used to guide one through deeper exploration of the issues of self-care and nurturance.
There are many gifts and tools that arise from feminine principles and can be used in personal growth work.
Through joining the Soulstice Women's Circle, you can learn how to work with manifestation tools such as:
intuitive connection (develop your intuition)
guided meditation
affirmation writing
archetypal immersion
collective intention-holding**
the lunar*, solar, and seasonal cycles (work with the earth's natural energetic rhythms)
*Why work with the lunar cycle? Just as the moon's energy is known to influence things such as the ocean's tides, so it affects our personal biorhythms (we are made mostly of water), energy levels, emotions, and creativity at a subtle level. Working with the natural flow of the moon's 28-day cycle, personal growth goals can be manifested with less force and greater ease (think surfing...riding with the waves rather than against them). There are natural, rhythmic cycles to everything in nature and life, and tuning in to them as a way to flow and create through daily life can generate a deep sense of clarity and harmony. The moon and the sun both move through astrological energies (at different rates) that touch our moods, perspectives, and abilities in various ways. The seasons also shift with a valuable symbolism that informs our personal lives on a broader scale. Getting in touch with these cycles and focusing in on how progressing energies affect - me...this day...this month...in this season of the year - can be a powerful process for manifesting change easily and naturally.
As above, so below. As without, so within. Nature and human nature are energetically connected.
**What's so special about collective energy? We are each and all energetic beings, and when two or more people are gathered together - especially with a unified purpose or goal held in mind and heart - the energy is amplified...or in other words the energy of the whole expands to become more than the sum of its parts. You have probably experienced this phenomenon many times in your life - think concerts, sports games, religious services. We have the innate instinct to come together in support of a common goal, in order to amplify and promote the possibility of desire manifested. Sitting in sacred circle space (the shape of a circle symbolically and literally creates an energetic container with a focused center point) with fellow women who share the personal and collective intention to learn and grow creates the potential for amplified support of these goals. In addition, awareness and insight can be magnified as we reflect ourselves to one another and learn from this experience. It truly is beautiful the magic we can create for ourselves and the world when we come together and hold loving space for needed expression and desired movement.
