Online: Embracing Gaian Consciousness – A Primordial Movement series

These are confusing times. Yet, amidst the sadness, fear, anger and despair, there is also a glimmer of ‘something new.’ When a crisis as all-encompassing and global as the pandemic, and let’s not forget climate change, sweeps the world, it opens a crack in the matrix of ‘the norm’ for new possibilities to emerge. Many of us are given a gift to pause and re-evaluate our lives, values and vocations. Will we use it well and take the courageous step to live differently and listen to your interconnected heart’s calling? No more compromising the soul’s desire for a status quo that destroys life on our beautiful planet. It is the time to give yourself to what you know is true and identify ‘where your greatest joy meets the world’s greatest need.” Where do we turn for guidance? Who is the teacher now? Primordial Journeys invites you to reawaken your innate oneness with Gaian consciousness. To reclaim the tremendous spiritual wisdom that carries you into the depths of the Earthly sensuous. Through movement, breath-sound and meditations that immerses you into a felt body experience and vital intimacy with the living Earth, you leave the impoverished state of isolation behind and discover … Read more

WomanEarth: Leadership – The Dance of Water & Fire

event-images - SPIRITUAL-NUTRITION-300sq

October 30 & 31, 2021, New Moon Energy “As we see it, the Earth and women are the same; what happens to one happens to the other.” ~ Arkan Lushwala, Peruvian ceremonial leader We see an unhealthy imbalance between masculine (fire)  and feminine (water) principles. There is too much fire.  A great drought of the sacred feminine principles threatens the very existence of life on Earth. Her sweet waters dammed, over-used, bottled and evaporated, causing severe instability in nature, society, economics, education, healthcare and the governing leadership. You could say all of the ominous challenges of our time are a reflection of this imbalance.  The industrial complex offers a leadership model centred in power-over nature and people, production over compassion, and the ‘bottom line’ over love and generosity. The sacred feminine invites us into a new story of leadership. Leadership that values wholeness,  listening, intuition, the unknown and embodiment.  One that is both caring and bold. Leadership centred in Life’s values, is no-nonsense in its approach, embraces diversity, supports personal empowerment, and acts as co-creators with Mother Earth. A sense of meaningful purpose fashions this kind of leadership guided by the sacred feminine principles of love and solidarity. It seeks … Read more

Kundalini Awakening – Activating Sexual Lifeforce Energies

July 15 & 16, 2023 Sexual energy is the most powerful generator of life-force available to humans. When moving freely through body, heart and mind, this river of vitality allows the capacity for self-healing and regeneration. It reconnects us to unrealized dreams, hidden potential and the great pleasures of Life, in and out of the bedroom. Life-force, also known as Kundalini, ignites spiritual self-mastery. Reconnecting with this energy is the only way we directly feel the original energy from which each of us is born. It is the fuel that sparks creativity, passion, love and Life itself.   This playshop offers a safe and explorative space to deepen your understanding of this energy and unearth the stories that have held this power captive. Learning to access, sustain and direct Kundalini energies mindfully opens the way to falling in love and into union with oneself and the world. It is the seed energy for all creativity, including how you create your life.  So how do you reclaim sovereignty over this juicy energy in everyday life?   You do it through your body, nature connection and the support of your sisters — the way women have always done. Whether in an intimate relationship or not, sexual/sensual … Read more
