Woman’s Retreat: Mother Night and Seeing in the Dark
The Creative life force is urging and nudging us to move into the realm of mystery, dreams, darkness, and the unexpected. At this turning of the year, we reclaim the soulful gifts set into our soul at birth. Gifts abandoned possibly in the unconscious through neglect, ignorance and fear. We will draw upon Mother Night: Myths, Stories and Teachings by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
Mother Night is our wild companion as we…kneel to dig down to mine the raw gems of spirit, soul and creative life, bringing diamonds from the darkness again or for the very first time. What if the world is starving for soulful gifts only you carry?
Facilitator: Esther Kennedy, OP, MSW, enjoys creating retreats for women, especially drawing upon Myth and Story as a way into living our lives with greater depth and joy. Her journeys to India and Indonesia have awakened in her a deep sense of the sacred. Esther is a Dominican Sister of Adrian, Michigan and currently directs Spirit Mountain Retreat in Idyllwild, Ca.
