Sensual Body Wisdom : Dancing Woman : 8-10 December 2017
|
Hello delicious women, you are invited to attend a beautiful weekend away camping in the luscious nature surrounds of ‘The Grove’ in Wiseman’s Ferry where you can enjoy being guided into awakening and reclaiming your Sensual Body Wisdom together with your sisters in community.
Our theme is ‘SPIRIT WOMAN DANCING’ SPIRIT WOMAN DANCING embraces summer. Summer is a time when everything is amplified. Life is busy with growing and expanding. We too are growing and expanding, taking advantage of longer days, packing them full. Relationships are one of the prominent features and in the summer we have the opportunity to experience relationships in their full intensity. If you feel like things are magnified you are right! Everything is heightened at this time. Summer is the seat of fire. Fire represents spirit. To be inspired is to be full of spirit. The lessons of summer are fast. It is about action and movement, of going out into the world and sharing our inspired gifts in relationship to one another. We call upon our Spirit Woman Dancing to bring us home to our wild, luscious, feminine Sensual Body Wisdom to light our way for loving and liberating relationships with our self and with the other. Community Gifting This retreat is based on Community Gifting which means that there is no external catering . In the spirit of community each woman is asked to bring vegetarian food items to share in the community kitchen. Everyone contributes and shares in meal preparation and cleaning. This keeps the costs down and cultivates a tribe culture of sisterhood and gifting in community. Other ways to gift are * playing musical instruments, * attending to the beautification of the “Temple spaces” The Venue Accommodation is in the way of camping on flat grassed areas beside shady trees and a sandy freshwater tidal Webbs Creek where you can swim. The Grove cares for and respects the environment. It is off the grid and there is no phone reception to give your body/mind system a complete break from electromagnetic pollution. Barefoot walking is encouraged (Bindis removed) to allow you to recalibrate your energetic field with the Earth. Find your balance and clear your head. The toilets are composting and the showers are fresh rain water. There is a community kitchen available for group meals. The Grove is near Wisemans Ferry approximately 90km from Sydney and 75km from Gosford.

Let the Navel Speak with Juliette Kirkwood
This is a unique fusion of Belly Dance with Dance Movement Therapy to create a focused and powerful way of accessing and exploring the sacred feminine power in each woman.
Our bodies hold our wounds and our wisdom. The answer to our problems lies deep within our very being, in our cells and in our bones if only we would listen. Let the navel speak is an opportunity for you to explore and travel deep into your body and listen to its wisdom.
