I am in the middle of a creative explosion. I could call it challenging, trail blazing, obsessive, divinely inspired, mad, exhausting, blissful, meaningful. High. Fast. Vast. Ferocious (and many more words if I was more fluent in the English language.) Lets just call it intense. It is in times like this I get to experience [Read More...]

Are you allowing yourself to be supported?
In my Yoga class this morning I found my self leaning my legs up towards the wall, a blanket was rolled up underneath my thighs. I had two pillows supporting both my wrists, and one under my head. Oh, and did I mention the warm soft blanket hugging my whole body? This was the point [Read More...]

Dear Sisters, Since the first time we gathered on the magical island of Corfu five years ago, our practice and connection to the ancient lineage of feminine practitioners have deepened in ways I could never have imagined.

once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and [Read More...]
My heart ripped open and inside I found a tiger
I tell you the journey was intense. I think I died. I am still here. This spring I was told I had cancer. I am sure that the young eager doctor did his very best, but it turned out he was wrong. I did not have cancer (thank you) Now when I look back I [Read More...]
let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Wild Geese You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world [Read More...]
I found out what true happiness is…
This spring I have been on quite a journey down into the dark valleys of fear and death. And back. I am still digesting the learning and awakening that happened and still are happening within me and in my marriage and my work.

Embodied Spirituality
Spiritual awakening is not a process in time, it is neither an awesome experience you once had, nor a goal to reach later. Your memories of the past or our plans for the future are simply thoughts. Thoughts coming and going. Your luminous presence is always right here in the moment, fresh and impossible to [Read More...]
The Goddess in Your Vagina
We came across this article by Kristin Luce at elephantjournal.com, an important and brilliant read about how a pelvic exam can be a spiritual practice. Here is an excerpt: _________________________________________ Then I begin to touch this strength in myself, the strength to open, utterly vulnerable, into another person’s hands. To yield honestly and wholeheartedly, present [Read More...]
The Journey Home to Beauty
It is natural to love and be attracted to beauty. When someone recognizes beauty in the color of your eyes or in the curve of your thighs, it can feel nourishing and vitalizing. This does not automatically close us to presence; on the contrary, it can relax and open us so that our radiance can [Read More...]
About giving, bitterness and learning to receive.
Women love to give. It gives us deep pleasure to give. In fact, our body produces healthy hormones when we give. It’s essential for the feminine to give. But what we do is that we give and we give and we give and we give and we give and we give and we give and [Read More...]
Where is My Passion & Spark?
Guest Blog By Lisa Schrader A common complaint I hear from women I meet in my retreats and coaching sessions, is that they just don’t have the “energy for sex.” It feels like a chore, another item on the already overwhelming “to do” list. They often find themselves “giving up or giving in.” If you [Read More...]
Aphrodite and the art of rallying toward exalted moments
Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the [Read More...]
What Would The Goddess Wear?
Guest blog by Annika Thomas Surrounding our bodies with beautiful garments, fabrics, jewelry and scents can be like an offering to the Goddess. To honor our inner beauty, sensuality and the temple of our body, can be a way to, if only for a glimpse, embody the Goddess, to deeply connect with her. A Path [Read More...]
Where do you find your worth?
Today I’m contemplating the message of Lakshmi, the Goddess of true wealth. In these days of “get- your- dream- sports- car- using- the- law- of- Attraction” and “I-do-it-my-way” , the Deep Feminine is calling us to sincerely investigate what is true wealth. What is success? Lakshmi has 108 names, and each name represent a different [Read More...]
Awaken the Sleeping Beauty ~ an initiation into womanhood
Guest blog by DeAnna L’am The story of Menarche, our first period, is rarely told. I find it interesting that women, who tend to share everything with one another, from first sexual encounters to stories of survival and recovery, are silent about this one. We have come a long way as women. We became assertive. We [Read More...]
