The Dalai Lama has stated: "The world will be saved by the Western woman”. He is not alone in believing that it will primarily be the women who will lead the healing shifts that our dysfunctional society needs so desperately – as we rise into our “Feminine power”.
For too many centuries, women have been suppressed, silenced and worse within the dominant Western Culture. Presently more and more of us are releasing the shackles of our cultural conditioning that has perpetuated the diminishment of the Feminine.
Already the Divine Feminine is surging forth at this time to bring healing and balance back into our Sacred Earth. Many of us are finding our voices, and healing into our inner strength to discover that we can rise above the older suppressed ways.
But what is the Divine Feminine within us?
And how can we cultivate her presence more potently?

There are numerous ways to cultivate our inner Divine Feminine and we will be sharing some potent ones in this intimate weekend retreat of Sacred Sisterhood and joy. Come join us to open yourself more deeply to your personal Rising Feminine while tapping the healing energies of the Divine Feminine from the Spiritual realms.
We are living in times of great change (some might call it chaotic) and we are all being called to heal into our full Feminine potential to support the healing of our so-wounded culture.
And the collective Divine Feminine from the Spirit Planes, in all their names and consciousnesses (Virgin Mary, Kuan Yin, Isis and more) want to nourish and support all of us with their powerful spiritual energies as we shift into our true Feminine essence.
Come be with us to bathe in a sacred and supportive space to heal into your inner beauty so that you may hold a more potent Divine place in our vastly changing world. This promises to be a transformative and beautiful retreat.
“I am the greatest Mother figure … of compassion, gentleness and love exponential … my energy swirls in everything in the universe … I yearn for all of you to reach out to accept my love. Reconnect with me.” ~ Great Mother, “The Great Mother Bible” (by Mare)

About the Retreat:
This retreat is a unique offering unlike any other Feminine oriented retreats in the region. All who attend will receive a powerful Divine Mother healing, spiritual cleansing and blessing to deeply activate your Divine Feminine center.
I am humbly blessed to have been working quietly with a Divine Feminine spiritual council in the cosmic multi-dimensional realms for more than a year presently. This council is the one that was guiding the spiritual planning for the 1000 Goddesses Gathering & Global Grid. The Virgin Mary sits on it, along with Mother Gaia and a circle of other Divine Feminine “deities” that are filled with more Quantum Divine Love than words can even describe. Oona is the overarching deity in the council and thus I call them “Oona’s Divine Feminine Council”.
Those who have downloaded the “Gaia’s Oneness Grid – Visualization/Activation” have been introduced to Oona and her Council and experienced their tremendous energy. One woman relayed “how pure and pristine the light from the Council felt” and that it was “like nothing I have ever experienced before … So much LOVE and LIGHT!”
Through invocations and meditations, we will be held within the Love and Divine Spiritual “Wombspace” of Oona and her most sacred circle of “deities” to support us in our commitment to shift into our holiest of feminine essence.

To encourage us to release and integrate, Liz will guide us through gentle, compassionate dance that will be easy for any body type or age. There will be art and ceremony along with teachings on healing the wounded Feminine and Masculine that lies within each of us. Plus, there will be contemplative space for journaling, walking the labyrinth or nature trails at Claggett, and more.
Within this sacred space, we will rebirth ourselves through discussion, dance, ceremony, art, and reflective time, and fun. We will honor our own divinity and that of all around us. Most importantly, we will learn more about our Feminine within, her wounded aspects and Divine ones, to support our healing more and more fully into our glorious Goddess self.
We will also share about the wounded Masculine and Divine Masculine as this is an integral aspect of supporting the healing of our greatly troubled society. And we each have masculine aspects to our persona also.
One of the goals of the retreat is to clear some of the “thorns” from our hearts to allow us to open up and be more heart-centered and present within our Divine Feminine self to serve in these intense times. With the healing gifts that both Liz and Mare presence, it is certain that all will be supported in a deeply compassionate and gentle way.
The weekend will culminate in an initiation ceremony activating our inherent potential to step fully into our Divine Feminine self.
We invite you to join with us to participate in a deeply sacred and nurturing space over that retreat weekend. With the amount of Divine Mother support that we will be invoking, rest assured that you will glow by the end of it.
"At this time, the Divine Mother “Team” within the Spiritual Realms is calling out to all on Earth to sacredly connect with them and their deep Divine Feminine wisdom, profound compassion and healing energies to help us transition our dysfunctional dominant world culture to the beautiful balanced future that awaits us, as described in some of the prophecies." ~ Spiritual Download from Mare
