"There’s an entire spectrum of the Divine Feminine for us all to explore
and it truly is a personal journey of integration."
Carly Stephan
The word "goddess" can conjure up images of gorgeous women, swathed in
flowing gowns, raised upon a pedestal high above us mere mortals…
But that is not the goddess within; The Divine Feminine!
The Divine Feminine refers to energy that is within as well as without each of us
that is gentle, nurturing, intuitive, creative, strong and empowered. It is not about
gender or binary or prevalent cultural concepts; it is about balance.
The Divine Feminine already exists within each of us. Understanding The Divine Feminine
and finding ways to awaken and embrace this consciously in our daily lives can help us
connect with ourselves on a deeper level and reconnect with Mother Earth and all of Creation.
The Divine Feminine; the goddess within, can be a a goddess bubbling with joy,
overflowing with love, serious, silly, gentle, strong, and so much more - she is within
each of us, amazing in her own way; in our own way.
Discover, welcome and celebrate the Divine Feminine Goddess within you!
May 15 - May 21, 2023 **NOTE: Other than the two live Zoom sessions, this retreat is self-guided. Once the retreat has begun, you can access the content at your own pace, so the dates shown for the retreat are meant more as a set of guidelines. more ...
THE RETREAT: This 7-day online mini-retreat offers daily creative explorations and spiritual practices designed to help us deepen our awareness of the rhythms of the natural world and of life through exploring, welcoming and embracing The Divine Feminine within each of us, using a wonderful variety of short and simple, yet rich and fulfilling creative exploration and spiritual practices provided daily.
Online: At home; no travel involved.
Mini: "Bite-sized" retreat sessions that fit easily into even a busy day.
Self-guided: You choose when/if you engage in daily activities, which ones, how much time you spend, etc. Rather freeing, in a grown up kind of way, don’t you think?
Live Elements: via Zoom. Opening Gathering is Mon., May 15 at 7 PM ET. Closing Gathering is Sun., May 21 at 6 PM ET. The gatherings are a wonderful time to connect with other retreat attendees, ask questions, and share experiences. Each gathering lasts approx. an hour and is optional, with recording available after.
What is a Retreat? An intentional respite; a hiatus from one’s daily routines and demands.
Retreats that involve going physically to a different location for a specific time period compel us to experience a change of physical, mental and spiritual "scenery". With an online retreat it is up to each of us to honor and gift ourselves the time and space for rest, renewal and fresh perspectives as well as for the blossoming of inspiration, creative thinking, learning and doing. The daily sessions, with creative explorations and spiritual practices, provide the framework in which to do this.
WHAT'S INCLUDED: Seven days of a variety of self-guided creative explorations and spiritual practices designed to deepen one’s connection to Nature’s rhythms and our feminine divinity within*. These may include music, dance, visual arts, meditations, visio divina, movement, poetry, ritual, journaling; all presented through videos and downloadable pdfs.
*Each daily offering can take about 15 min. to do. However, you are invited - and encouraged - to take as much time as you desire to ponder and explore the creative art or spiritual practice invitation more deeply.
VIRTUAL RETREAT INVESTMENT: The investment is $45. for the The Goddess Within
The number 45 is said to possess great spiritual energy. It seems a perfect fit for celebrating The Divine Feminine.
