I read an energy report yesterday that said this next week is going to feel super intense for many of us. I put these reports in a bubble. But as the season heads into the darkest time of the year (and the new moon) and we approach the threshold of Samhaim, I know the thin spaces are approaching. There is definitely some intensity to the rest of this month. With the Sun ready to meet many other planets in Scorpio, and Mars to enter Scorpio for the first time in two years, and Mercury continuing to reveal deep secrets and taboos going retrograde on Halloween, it’s always good to find find extra time to ground, be introspective and get in nature.
Taking the time to learn how to sit quietly with yourself can be some of the spookiest activities you may try this Halloween. For to look inward is to find the root of what our imaginations are casting upon the world. And when we have those Ah-Ha moments of enlightenment it often (for me) comes with a dreaded realization that there is no one else to blame but myself. So I have to reorient and hold this projection that was much easier to cast off. Sometimes that’s a lot of energy to integrate. Then the realization that there is no one here but me (in my sphere of what I can control). And then: there is no place I could go apart from divine “for even if I go into the depths of Sheol, even there You are with me.” (Psalms). And so I go into the dark, even into the depths of hell knowing that “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”
When we walk the spiritual path, it’s the demons who fear the light, and sometimes we have to recognize how much light we have to use for the greatest good. There is no more time for hiding it under a bushel. I feel this time is ripe for us to unveil the masks of illusion that have kept us thinking this light we bear as humans is in anyway worthless or powerless despite all the challenges we face at this time.
When we peer into the dark and realize that the dark has been taking note of us and waiting for us to receive the gifts we have often cut off and not received yet. The dark has often been demonized, along with women, the yoni, the moon, the night, the unconscious, dark skin, and the earth’s mythical creatures like Pan- to name just a few. While that initiation to behold our depths and become truly conscious (as Brené Brown teaches) of ‘the story we are telling ourselves’. This can feel shocking at first, like lighting striking in The Tower card in the Tarot deck, it also is the only way we can truly face the truth, grow in consciousness, and return to right relationship with the earth, with ourselves, with each other and with the divine.
If you have ever struggled with the tension between wanting to be good and not wanting to be selfish, but are often confused about that boundary between serving others at the expense of your own sanity and self care, or maybe you find yourself slipping into playing the martyr, or overly helpful to a fault, than this conference is for you. We will be tapping into the resurrection power of the feminine, and holding safe space for women to face the power of our depths and rise together stronger.
Calling all souls who are ready for this divine feminine initiation, on this All Souls Day 2019 <3 <3 <3 Spaces Limited! We have about ten more spaces. Is one for you?
MEET SHAKTI LADY ANDREA
Andrea will share her story of love and loss after walking through terminal illness with her father and how that lead her down the path to death and grief work. She will discuss the sacred calling to death midwifery and the deep need to discuss death, dying, grief and loss. Through her own facets of grief and loss she has come to have a passion to hold space for those who are processing the many emotions and physical struggles that accompany grief. We will also be doing a releasing project centered around our own individual loss.
the light in me salutes the light in you.
