NOTE: This ceremony has been rescheduled to take place on Sunday, February 10th due to Luisa recovering from a bug that she doesn’t want to share with participants!
On this magical winter afternoon, we will invoke the presence of the goddess Brigid. Brigid is a pre-Christian Celtic goddess. She is a solar (versus lunar) goddess, an active, fiery creatrix who is a keeper of the flame and a guardian of the sacred waters, among other magical attributes.
We will ask Brigid to fuel and inspire us as we deepen our relationship to the beauty and power of our sexual selves and our creativity.
We will drum, create intentions, meditate, and use the shamanic journey technique to nourish the seeds of our feminine sexual-soul-force energy, our courage, creativity and passion.
PREREQUISITE: YOU MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH THE SHAMANIC JOURNEY TECHNIQUE, including:
• a working relationship with a power animal

• an understanding of the lower, middle and upper worlds
