Maiden, Mother, Crone Retreat The Maiden, Mother Crone Retreat is a twice a year retreat that is a wonderful and rich experience for women getting in touch with their Spiritual selves. We explore the different elements of the Great Goddess and Her archetypes as they manifest in our lives. We use meditation, yoga, journal writing, doll making, and designing personal altars to bring us a deeper understanding of ourselves. The Retreat is led by Be Hudson who has been leading workshops and retreats around the country for over twenty years. For information email Jo Wharton. WomanCircle WomanCircle is a weekly gathering of women that's open to all. We meet in homes where we can discuss important issues such as war, share books and videos that are meaningful and/or funny to us, hear speakers talk about subjects that are important to women, and sometimes just hang out and enjoy the community that has come together over the years. We are one of the circles of women that has formed around the world and is counted as part of the Millionth Circle movement. For information email Jo Wharton. |
Cranes Fly for Peace Global Flag Ceremony Cranes Fly For Peace Flag Ceremony is based on the World Peace Prayer Society Flag Ceremony. It's a very simple ceremony. A speaker calls out the name of each nation of the world while a replica of the country's flag held up for all to see. Participants then reply: "May Peace Prevail in..." and inserts the country's name. Then each flag is laid in a spiral on the floor around a small Peace Pole, creating a brilliantly colorful mandala of the world. Origami Peace Cranes are put on the flags to fulfill Sadako Sasaki's quote: "Paper crane, I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world." The powerful image of the flags overlapping each other with the flying cranes is a visual reminder that we are all one world and that Peace can prevail on earth. If you would like to have the ceremony done for a group, please email me. |
