- THIRTEEN MOONS

New Directions:

Using Personal Experience on the Path to Relationships

August 7, 2010

12:30 - 4 p.m. at

742 N. LaSalle Street

This session can be seen as the completion of an initiation; a soul retrieval that has required much work and deserves much celebration. In earlier months the Thirteen Moons process involved an immersion into our personal story. While difficult, it is familiar terrain filled with information that can explain and justify why we mistrust relationships and doubt the possibility of intimate fulfillment.
Over the last three months, the extensive journey deep into the center of the self—the heart—offered an opportunity to not only discover, illuminate and make peace with old wounds, but to also claim the origin of direction for our personal experience. We now have the power and choice to decide if we are going to live from a place of love and faith, or a place of fear and doubt.
This ability is what separates emotional processing from spiritual awakening and growth. According to Maya Angelou, “when we know better we do better.” Through honest examination of our hidden motivations and fears, we can understand why we avoid taking steps toward greater love and support, and we can live the beauty of her words. As relationships can be painful, the strength our spiritual practice can give us the courage we need to love and be loved.

Susan A. Lipshutz, L.C.S.W., has more than 25 years of experience teaching and practicing integrative psychotherapy. She brings a foundation in Western medicine and indigenous spiritual practices to her work. Previously, she has served as the Director of Behavioral Sciences for the Family Practice Residency Training Programs with the Illinois Masonic Medical Center and West Suburban Hospital. Today, as a student of crosscultural spiritual practices including Andean wisdomkeepers
and Mapuche ceremonialists, Susan integrates the ancient divine feminine wisdom of our grandmothers with her own powerful modern teachings, crafting an easy-to-understand style of empowerment and self-love attuned to the complexities of today’s modern woman. Because the sacred feminine archetype is always growing and evolving, Susan is dedicated to weaving this understanding into ongoing training, studies and sacred journeys around the globe, as well as in her individual practice in Chicago. She has worked to create intentional communities where healing and evolution can occur at the
deepest level, and encourages others to offer their personal change in service of the greater collective. Her passionate work in support of universal divine feminine wisdom teachings, embodying heartfelt love and shared purpose, offers both women and men the realization of an ancient and timeless dream – a dream that we have the privilege and responsibility not only to witness, but also to co-create. Susan also has a private practice for integrative psychotherapy and can be reached at (312) 787-7077.
