Using the Mandala to Walk a Sacred Path with Purpose and Intention This event was quite a success! A few comments by participants: Vicky provided a beautiful, safe & sacred space for the mandala retreat, where we learned about the history of mandala medicine. We each created our own mandala with our needs and intentions baked in for the seasons ahead. That’s not all we came away with. we created our own little portal of community, sisterhood, intention, and quite a bit of magic for one afternoon. HIGHLY recommend! Kara I highly recommend Vicky’s workshop on the Mandala! I found the afternoon workshop to be very inspiring and informative as I learned how the Mandala’s energies impact my life on a daily basis. Vicky introduced us to the Mandala’s history, the seven sacred directions and the cultural Mandala that is interwoven with our basic human needs. Lynn “The mandala retreat was a wonderful opportunity to learn how to tangibly apply the wisdom the 7 sacred directions in my day-to-day life as well as my year's vision. I feel this retreat has helped me to get clear and set intentions for the year ahead. Highly recommend: Shiela Dreamcatchers Upon request a retreat is in the cooker to learn about the history and uses of the Dreamcatcher. Those in attendance will actually make a small dreamcatcher to take home. The tentative timeline is mid to late August. Sit with your heart, talk to a friend, and if you are interested in participating, contact Vicky by June 30 in order for a definitive date to be set. As always, if you have more questions, contact Vicky. Dreaming and Visioning Ceremony Last fall was our second overnight dreaming and visioning ceremony. A few lovely ladies chose to follow a call from their heart to sit on the land and summons their dreams. This is a very sacred opportunity to connect in the deepest way with the natural world in order to hear the voice of one's heart. Below are comments made by those that sat on the land, along with comments by those that sat around the fire in support of those on the land. After reading their comments, sit with your heart. If this feels like something it time for you to do, contact Vicky and a meeting to discuss this sacred offering will be arranged. Participants words: "The entire experience from the preparation to the actual Visioning and Dreaming Ceremony assisted me in seeing my truth more clearly. It helped me let go of behaviors that no longer serve me, to develop more trust and faith in myself, and the unconditional love that underlies all things. It also deepened my relationship with my intuition and my Helping Spirits, and gave me a feeling of support and community. It was a powerful, transformational experience. I'm so grateful to Vicky and all of our supporters, both physical and nonphysical." Erin "I am honored to share the land and you, as it's caretaker, offered me a safe space to feel supported as I aligned and became organized, in all directions of my whole self. From the invitation, daily preparation, and participation, my awareness expanded. I continue to appreciate the gifts gained through the offering of the land and the Dancing Flame Medicine Lodge. I am eternally grateful." Sunnie Supporters words: "The Keepers of the Land hold sacred space that supports the community and healing of those that come to the Fire. When Open hearts and a curious spirit met where the veil is thin, magic happens .... giggles too! Teresa "Holding space for those seeking hearts to find clarity, peace, and surrender to Spirit. A warm circle of women offering prayers, gratitude and blessing to our sisters. " Katelyn "Last fall I had the opportunity to sit around the sacred fire as part of the overnight ceremony. Being a part of this ceremony with Vicky and other kindred spirits was very magical to say the least. I look so much forward to being able to participate in more ceremonies in the future." Shiela |
