Living Gently

Living Gently with the self, with each other and with the earth.
 
 
STARFIRE  
The real beauty of being a woman.

 This is the information that your mothers could have used and
your daughters have a right to know.

The Real Beauty of Being a woman is having deep within access to the inner plains of being, emotional and mental balancing systems and the capacity to call all manner of mojo up and out of the belly.

Are you the unbridled, self-knowing, unfolding jewel of the feminine you can be?

Are you whole? Free? Clear in your belly about which is you and which is the world?

Are you going there and coming back each and every bleed, building and growing your life to reflect the deep shades of red moon wisdom that bubble to the surface as you are still, open and free?

Tis Time Sisters...

On a planet that is drowning in illusion and the manufactured emotion of plastic values, women can change the tide by standing tall in all that is soft but strong, like water, offering that which is of real value, to truly live... gently, with the self, with each other and with the earth.

 
Since 1995 I have placed together the tools and practice that have enabled me to “bleed well”, consciously engaging and enjoying the rhythmic cycle of my bodies relationship with inner and outer worlds. My inner strength is formidable, my sense of self is solid to the core, my sexuality unleashed, my energy understood thus surfed like the waves of the ocean.  If you or the women in your world are plagued by menstrual disorder/discomfort or you spend a good $20 a month plugging yourself up and/or medicating yourself down, I have to tell you there is SO much more available. This is the information that your mothers could have used, and your daughters have a right to know. I offer an opinion, no greater or lesser than your own, but an opinion that could change the way you wear your skin, and turn a curse into a blessing.    


The following are just some of the areas that the 8 week course explores. The whole journey is one of exploration and discovery. The format allows for many moments of sharing, as well as lots of information delivered in such as way as to truly ‘know’ your body’s potential.  

  • Mythology of women and menstruation.
  • The purpose and experience of Bleeding.
  • Tools of balance for the emotional and mental realms.
  • How your Bleeding effects your Birthing experience.
  • Menstrual Yoga.
  • Menstrual Suppression?
  • Moon Phases & women’s cycles.
  • Menstrual Meditation.
  • Sisterhood.
  • Undercurrent fears that are maintained by industry.
  • A moment to re-experience Menarche.
  • PMS and emotional expression.
  • Ancient & Present day Menstrual Art.
  • Menstrual Jewellery Design. Women’s Blood rites & traditions.
Through words, art, movement, contemplation and general sharing we as a group of women will travel to a land where most don’t get to discuss. Rarely in our culture is there room to explore the purpose of menstruation, the history or the deep experience that is possible. Each woman will receive a copy of my Menstrual Meditation CD called Temple of the Blood, as well as a booklet that covers all that we explore.


Sharing this journey with women that you may or may not know (invite your friends) over the 8 weeks will assist in creating the deep habit of making space for oneself.  As a woman, your inner landscapes needs to become important to you first, then this can be shared with the world effectively.
