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.

You have heard me before, raving about my women’s temple group here in Nevada City. Yesterday it was Monday, and Monday night is Temple night.

The Women's Temple group
For the balanced feminine to blossom it is helpful, and in our experience crucial, to create and sustain women’s circles that truly nourish us in the deepest sense. Instead of enforcing the status quo by focusing on our problems and personal shortcomings, circles like this connect us with truth beyond our fears and limited self-images. [Read More...]

This is a quest we as Awakening Women are called to investigate deeply, it is certainly something we keep exploring in our awakening women programs. Many of us have adopted layers of concepts (also spiritual ones), which corrupt our natural ability [Read More...]
Touching the Body Open
