WOMEN'S CIRCLE AND LABYRINTH WALK

Hey Powerful Goddess!

Our women's circle is thriving! We've experience a cacao ceremony, making corn dollies, we made vision boards, and played with dressing as goddesses! We have some wonderful conversations and are growing together.

Our theme changes almost every month, we are coming up with some great subjects to discuss. The labyrinth is at the core of it all, we walk it, and it opens our hearts and minds finishing up with a healing circle.
Come join the fun, growth and sharing. I am offering this circle once per month.

The labyrinth is one of the oldest contemplative tools known to humankind, used for centuries for personal and spiritual growth. This ancient design has been found as far back as 3,000 years in a variety of forms and cultures.

SACREDNESS: The circle is intended to be a sacred ceremony, so please come with a sacred intention, and maintain the focus of that intention throughout your time here with us.

PARKING: Please park in our driveway in a way that will allow as many cars as possible. If it's full, you can park on the street, but please don't park in front of the house to our left (facing our house). Our neighbors are sensitive to parking in the cul-de-sac, and we want to keep the peace.

WHAT TO EXPECT: We will light candles, do a short intention meditation. Pass the talking stick and share where each one of us is. Then I will invite us to pick cards with inspirational messages that I will offer in conjunction with having/sharing intentions before walking the labyrinth. Everyone goes at their own pace. After the walk we will gather and talk about the experience and how it relates to our lives as women. We have being ending by making a healing circle, we each go in the middle and ask for what we need the most, while the others are sending healing. Come share some intimate time together! Bring food to share for fellowship after the ceremony.

BENEFITS: Everyone experiences labyrinths in a different way as we are all unique beings, but here are some of the common benefits:

• Connect with higher consciousness, guides,
  and angelic realms through meditative movement
• Calm body and mind
• Boost mood and relieve stress
• Activate higher states of consciousness
• Promote a deep meditative state
• Foster Hope, Peace, and Joy
• Build a support system with others like minded

On a personal note, since we built our labyrinth, I have been walking it often. I find it refreshing, introspective, and it gives me a sense of peace and hope. It helped me to get through a very tough day when we were putting our dog Mochi down. I decided to take Mochi in my arms and walked the labyrinth with him. I stopped to tell him how much I loved and appreciated all the time and loved he had given our family, especially my daughter when she was going through a very difficult time in her life. I connected with Mochi like I have never had before.
