Part One : 29 Sept. - 5 Oct 2013
Everything is Born of Woman - discovering the feminine field and defining our true female identity.
Women are constantly told myths about what a woman is, how she should feel and what her desire is. During this first week we will attempt to clear the external static noises, tune in to the wisdom of our bodies and listen to our own thoughts, feelings and experiences as we explore the influences that formed our identities as women, including our inheritance from our female lineage. Our relationships to the women who went before us impact our relationship to our body, our self-concept and self-expression, our intimate relationships and mothering. Exploring where we have come from, provides a larger context for our lives and allows us to align with our highest aspirations for the future.
Part Two: 27 April -3 May 2014
From Tyrant to Consort - opening to Passion, Power & Pleasure and transforming our relationship to men and the Masculine.
Trans-generational exposure to patriarchal values has wounded the feminine in both men and woman, but the effects on a woman are different to that of a man. Whereas in men it has interfered with the ability to feel and express emotion, it has rendered us women less able to venture out into the world, somehow struggling to trust our instincts and desires in how to manifest and live our dream. In consequence, our prevailing interpretation of passion and power, conditioned by this distorted, but culturally entrenched, idealization of the masculine, is in fact a form of internalized misogyny masquerading as female empowerment. A woman’s projections onto men, and her consequent relationship to her inner masculine, is key to her ability to feed her hungers, inhabit her sexual self and engage with her own and others’ power– thus having a deep intimate relationship with herself.
Part Three: 28 Sept. - 4 Oct. 2014
Woman, to thy own self be true - When sleeping women awake, mountains move
When we connect to the deepest dimension of ourselves, our respond-ability to the evolutionary impulse awakens in us. Existential insecurity is gradually replaced by conviction, direction, and an unlimited source of energy enabling us to contribute fully to the life process now. Stepping beyond the subtle and often unconscious ways that women defer and pull back from creative responsibility, our priorities fundamentally shift. Through developing deep trust in our body, feelings, dreams, and visions, we confirm our commitment to live and work in ways that express our authentic feminine strengths and values, individually and in our relationships with both men and women. Consciously choosing to use our innate creativity to birth a new culture and play our roles in shaping the future of our world, we enter into a co-creative partnership with existence itself, thus unleashing potentials previously unknown in humanity’s evolution.
Methodology
Our approach is integral and will engage body, feelings, mind and soul experientially through reflections, movement, exercises, and sharing. Work will be done individually, in pairs, small groups, and in the large group. Theoretical material will inspire, support and help ground the experiential learning. We will work intensively and long hours, with free time to integrate, play and enjoy the beautiful surroundings build into the schedule.
Practical information
We naturally suggest you attend the whole training, since the modules build on one another. However, in view of the commitment involved, and since Part One forms a complete unit in itself, you may attended the first week without having immediately to commit to the rest.
