Summer 2011 Moonlodge Workshop

An online spiritually creative journey for women.

Explore your personal dream symbols and patterns

Use the power of the sacred elements to manifest healing, creativity and connectedness

Develop transformational relationships with spiritually co-creative women

In older times women came together in the warmth of the summer months to weave baskets, gather berries and smoke meat, and enjoy the company of their sisters and friends . In the Moonlodge, women would learn about the art of making of life and love, cooking things up and weaving the seen and unseen worlds together.  They would share stories of the past, tell tales of recent escapades and weave new understanding of their dreams and tribal stories.

As we enjoy the dog days of summer and move into the early fall, in the tradition of our ancestors and all indigenous ways, we will begin to gather our dreams and intentions and set to artfully weaving our lives.

Together we will explore old stories and traditions. infuse them with fresh meaning and relevance in our contemporary lives. We will laugh, and maybe cry, when meet old friends with new faces and explore our selves and our relationships from a place of wholeness, empowerment and co-creativity. We will dream old dreams together and explore new possibilities. Grab a girlfriend and join us in the Moonlodge!  I’ll see you soon!

Thru art journaling, storytelling, dream work and guided visualizations

we will explore our connections to the Moon and our co-creative ability to:

Release old behaviors and limitations
