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.

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.

WomanEarth:  Raising Kundalini – Awaken Divine Feminine Energy

October 28 & 29, 2023 For Vibrant Health & Spiritual Transformation Kundalini energy is the divine feminine energy that is also known as goddess energy and sometimes as serpent energy. In Hindu and Yoga philosophy, it is the creative power and energy of the universe. In Tantric text, Kundalini is a sleeping dormant potential life-force that is the very Essence of Life. In a woman’s body, the Kundalini powerhouse rests at the cervix (at the base of the uterus) and is expressed as sexual energy. This life force energy runs up the spine, radiating like a soft fire to every part of your body. For most, this energy lays dormant at the base of the spine which means a lack of free-flowing energy and vitality. Blockages in this flow are expressed in symptoms such as fear, anxiety, shame, no passion, burnout and emotional isolation. Raising Kundalini/sexual energies fills your body with a deep sense of joy, activating a complete connection with body and soul. When moving freely through your body, this river of vitality awakens the capacity for self-healing and regeneration. It reconnects you to intuitive wisdom, hidden potential and life’s great pleasures. It is the seed energy for all creativity, … Read more
