The Seven Goddesses
“Goddesses and Gods are a
form in which power can be contained and seen, studied, honored and integrated as an aspect of your conscious mind.
They are a mirror for the ultimate relationship between you and the great mystery. Goddesses and gods are another part of
aspect of your ever evolving spirit, reflecting your ultimate spiritual potential." Black Bear
In this class you will meet the Seven Goddesses of the Black Bear lineage. A few of the goddesses are
the Earth Mother, the mother of us all, the Corn Mother, the goddess who helps us to manifest and create, White Buffalo Woman,
who teaches us how to live a spiritual life, Grandmother Bear, the guardian of the void within the womb, and more. Each
goddess represents a different aspect of feminine energy that exists within all women. We will go on a journey
(a guided meditation with the drum) to meet each goddess. The finale of the class will be that we will
make a “goddess bundle,” a shamanic tool to help you connect with the goddesses.
The Sacred Spiral
The sacred spiral consists
of twenty-two stones in the symbol of a spiral. Starting from the inside going outwards, each
stone has teachings and lessons for women from all walks of life. We will go through each stone to understand
its message for us and experience the teachings through shamanic techniques. The grand finale is a walk through a spiral laid out on the ground to connect to the energy of this ancient symbol.
A Ceremony for Seven Women
This is a ceremony
where each one of seven women holds a unique place in a pattern. Each person calls on a specific archetypal
energy, such as Sister Wind, Grandmother Ocean, Sister Deer and others. The powerful female forces come together to create a beautiful and inspiring experience. This is a very special women's ceremony passed
on from Black Bear, who said, "This is how women used to do ceremony." Come and join
us for this energizing ritual!
The Seven Societal Imprints
The Seven Societal
Imprints are seven negative roles that have been placed upon women by society over the last several
thousand years. The roles correspond to the seven chakras, and restrict the expression of our true selves. You will learn about each of the imprints and then go through a shamanic technique or experience to break and release
the negative patterns. The experiences include journeys, a breathing technique called "Birthing
Woman," communicating with a tree, and more.
