Becoming a Daughter of Mother Earth:

Receiving Unconditional Love

February 6, 2010

12:30 - 4 p.m. at

742 N. LaSalle Street

 

Unresolved relationships and cultural programming can cause us to yearn for unconditional love while fearing the outcome of its powerful grasp. This hide-and-seek for safety, security and worthiness can cause imbalances in body heart and spirit. Searching for this, as women, we risk confusing the desire for love with self and maternal love, often forgetting ourselves as we seek to love others.
From the gentle, curving umbilical twist of a budding sprout to the warming embrace of a sister spirit, Mother love is any nurturing gesture or act of loving support and nourishment. Though this wellspring of love is ever-present, as women, we tend to nourish and encourage others more than trusting and accepting this love for ourselves.
However, unless we have a solid foundation within ourselves, like a malnourished sprout or ancient tree, we too, will dry up without sustenance and nourishment needed to thrive. By awakening awareness and receptivity to our spiritual Mother in the natural world, we can be swept up in her embrace and learn how to flourish, heal and grow.
Join our sacred hoop and reclaim your birthright as daughter of two mothers, one biological and the other a holy divine mother which acts as Mother to the whole. See yourself reflected in the beautiful mirror of like hearted sisters who are learning to carry the mother within and share that understanding with friends, family and the world.
Maternal energy is all around you, in earth, air, wind and water; allow yourself to be swept up in its embrace and see how you too will flourish under its gentle touch.
Join us for the second session and learn how to become aware of this divine presence in yourself and others. See in yourself the beauty of unconditional love for all your parts, then ways in which compassion, comfort and self-love continue to develop in your world.
