Circles of Sisterhood finally happening

Supporting – Encouraging - Empowering

:: Within a circle, we are all equal.
:: Within a circle, we are all honoured.
:: Within a circle, we will create a sacred space where we can listen and be heard, share and learn, encourage others and be empowered ourselves.
:: Within a circle, we will honour the Sacred Feminine the resides around us as well as within us as we ebb and flow with the forces of life.

It has long been a sacred tradition for women to gather around the new moon where they would share wisdom, support each other, and connect to the sacred wisdom that is found within aligning with the ebb and flow of the moon and nature. Within the creation of such a sacred space, we (re)learn the arts of healing, divination, self-nurturing and trust as well as remembering and honouring the wise women who have gone before us for we are all manifestations of the Divine Feminine, the Goddess, the Sacred She.

Opening at Port Adelaide

I am excited to announced that from the end of March, events will also be held at Port Adelaide as well as the Isian Centre of Metaphysics.  Last month I took possession of the keys to a beautiful upstairs room at Kyle Place (near the corner of Commercial Road and St Vincent Street).  I had hoped that the room would be ready at the start of March, however February saw other commitments taking precedence, resulting in a delay in preparations.

As it stands, I am delighted to advise that the following events will be running from Room 2, 3 Kyle Place, Port Adelaide from the end of March:

Dreaming Back the Sisters

On this day when families gather, and others remember, and as we journey ever closer to the ending of one calendar year  pausing for the new year to commence, I would like to share with you this beautiful poem by Marie Elena Gaspari. In doing so, I would also like to invite you all to dream back your sisters, your feminine line (both biological and spiritual) as an inspiring and beautiful intention for 2017.

A wonderful way to continue this dreaming back is to join other women as we gather together.  One type of such gathering are Sister Moon Circles that welcome women of all ages.  The first of the Sister Moons Circles for 2017 will be taking place at the Isian Centre of Metaphysics from Friday, 21 April 2017.

Ebbing and Flowing with the Times

If there is one thing that I have been forced to learn over the last eight months is that flexibility is the key for you never know when carefully laid plans need to be changed or when new opportunities appear waiting for you to grasp them.

 

After a restless night the difficult decision was made this morning to cancel to commencement of the proposed Sister Circles that was to commence at the Morella Community Centre in March.  While I am still very passionate for this venture to commence, the timing does not appear to be right at the moment.  I am hoping that another opportunity to present this venture to the community will make itself available later in the year.

Sister Moon Circles

A lot has happened over the last 12 months and now with the new calendar year fast approaching, pieces are in the process of being picked up again.  One of the first things that will be on offer in 2017  are the Sister Moon Circles.

Commencing on Friday, 27 January 2016 (the Friday closest to the first new moon of the new year) these circles will be open to women of all ages and backgrounds who desire to gather together in order to explore and share various aspects of life that relates, nourishes and strengthens our own personal connectedness to the feminine energy in our modern world.

Sister Circles are continuing the "Legacy of Women"

Waking up to a peaceful morning, my attention was drawn to the following excerpt from Jamie Sams' book, The Thirteen Original Clan Mothers: Your Sacred Path to Discovering the Gifts, Talents, and Abilities of the Feminine Through the Ancient Teachings of the Sisterhood.  Realising that it had in fact been some 15 years since I read this book, and considering that I am currently in the process of formulating community based "Sister Circles", the synchronicity of things brought a smile to my face.  Synchronicity?  Or maybe it is the way of the Goddess, the Sacred She, working  Her subtle ways yet again.

 

Is there the need for Community Sacred Circles for Women

Not being able to work over the last few months due to health reasons (a situation that will continue into the new year) has not prevented my mind from churning over an array of possibilities of what I would like to put into motion in the future.  When I was diagnosed with cancer, my doctor did say to me that my current perception on life and what is important to me will change, and whilst not necessarily a surprising change, one of the things that has been in the forefront of my mind over the last couple of weeks is the ongoing need for Goddess or women's circles in our modern times.

 

It was this deep need for such a circle myself that resulted in me establishing The Goddess House in 2007 where I set about to create a venue where women could gather to experience for themselves that the divine feminine is all about.  After all, whilst we are familiar with the divine masculine the God, still today many women do not realise that there is indeed also a Goddess, and in fact she was the first deity ever honoured by out ancestors - and in some cultures, still is very much alive even today.
