A Nourished Heart

Cross-Posted from The Temple of Feminine Arts - an event for women-identified persons.

Dear Beautiful Heart,

You are invited to join me, Diane Merpaw, in sacred sisterhood where will we sit in circle to explore your goddess essence through spiritual and creative practices. We will dive into heart centered practices to nourish, awaken and celebrate the rich beauty and wisdom within you.

I have created this special temple day for women just like you whom are yearning to come home to their most authentic version of themselves. Perhaps you are wondering what is Temple? For me Temple is a sacred oasis for the feminine where we meet our deepest essence. Read that again!

This past June, I spent a week in Temple Facilitation training with Awakening Women and it profoundly changed my life. I got blissfully drunk on love. My connection to the Divine Mother was strengthened. This remothering has helped healed my relationships with my mother and daughters. I felt so deeply nourished by the Divine Mama all week long. Her touch was everywhere. Women I was just getting to know, witnessed and celebrated my authentic essence. I was held with deep love and compassion as I experienced hard emotional moments. Over and over again, I was encouraged to simply be in my body and to express what was coming up with no judgement. It was so liberating.

I luxuriated in the nourishment of feminine touch and oh my, what a precious and delightful gift. This feminine nourishment was a potent healing balm for the many hurts I had secretly and not so secretly nestled in my luscious body.

dear beautiful soul, Imagine…
What it would feel like to give yourself a day filled with oodles of nourishment.
What it would feel like to immerse yourself in a shower of love for the day.
Awakening to more of your aliveness.
Getting in touch with more of your creative expression.
Your self-love tank being filled as you tap into some of your deepest longings.
Discovering more of the wise beautiful woman that is within you.

If you are thirsting for more love, more deep nourishment and are open to exploring feminine wisdom teachings, this is for you. Come and take your place in the Temple of the Sensuous Heart, where you are invited to drop your stories and will be initiated more deeply into the sacred temple of your heart and body.

To give yourself the gift of nourishment and nurturance

Additional Information:

One of our core practices in this sanctuary involves respectful touch. Your boundaries will always be honoured and respected, but if you feel a strong resistance to touch (giving and receiving ) this is NOT for you. In our circle, we practice respectful touch to bring presence into our bodies and cultivate the capacity to allow more life energy to flow through us.

What to Bring:

A water bottle for the day to keep yourself nourished.
A small blanket or pashmina. Energy in the room will be shifting and you may wish to wrap yourself up to stay warm.
Wear comfortable clothing such as yoga pants and t-shirt. If you are inspired to wear a dress for the day, please wear leggings or heavy tights underneath.

Please refrain from wearing fragrances or from spraying essential oils in the space.
