Join us in this amazing 7-day no-cost event hosted by Dr Alison Palmer and Full Circle Women to celebrate and honoUr the powerful contributions we make to global healing as elder wise women. \nTo register\, please click into https://www.fullcirclewomen.com/t2r0\nCrones\, Hags & The Power of Elder Wise Women 2023 gives voice to the wisdom within each of us and seeks to boldly reclaim the power of the sacred feminine expressed through women in the long life period from menopause to passing. \nFor millennia the wounded masculine patriarchy has sought to denigrate us\, to push us aside and silence us.  We have faced centuries of violence\, ridicule and repeated attempts to make us invisible and compliant.  Even today women in public roles have lost their job for daring to show their gray hairs! \nAnd we have so much more power than the color of our hair! \nMany ancient indigenous cultures say that when a woman has passed through her menopause\, then she comes into her full power.  She recognizes the strength of her relationship with and as nature; she is “of the land”\, she seeks to make a difference so that her legacy contributes to making the world a better place now\, and for future generations. \nThis powerful event features more than 31+ teachers and wise women – including HeatherAsh Amara\, Acharya Shunya\, Phyllis Curott\, Rosita Arvigo\, Vanessa Gonzalez Codornui\, Eimear Burke\, Marcela Lobos\, Kris Steinnes\, Robin Rose Bennett and many others… \n…sharing ways to access your sacred wisdom so you can fully own your unique power and share your own wisdom for healing at this time. \nThroughout this controversial summit\, you’ll receive such gems of wisdom from present-day and ancient teachings and you’ll be inspired to cherish the wisdom that lies within your own body and soul. \nLearn more here https://www.fullcirclewomen.com/t2r0

SUMMARY:Wise Women\, Sages\, Elders & Crones
DESCRIPTION:The offering:  \nThis three-evening workshop is an invitation to women who feel that they are approaching\, or have already reached\, the stage of the Elder\, Crone or Wise Woman. It is an invitation for women who want to\, in a safe circle with others\, dive deeper into the subject\, and explore the realms of their own psyche and the archetypal\, acknowledge the power and wisdom within themselves and explore with other women how they can bring them into the world that so desperately needs the female Elder. \nWhat lies beneath: \nLately I have been increasingly invited as an Elder to speak at conferences\, summits and festivals and to contribute to the subject on various courses. This inspired me to journey into\, meditate upon and research the question ‘what does it mean to be an Elder\, a Wise Woman\, a Crone in our challenging and transformational times’? I looked into some tribal concepts and examples\, explored some archetypal characters from myths and stories\, and read up on some exceptional women of our times. And whilst bringing these together contributed to my knowledge\, I needed to journeyi deep into my own psyche to find a wealth of archetypal knowing and also the blocks that stopped me from transitioning into ‘Elderhood’. \nWhat we will do: \nWe will use journeying\, visualisations\, embodiment exercises and exchange of insights\, information\, knowledge\, life experience and intuition to explore the subject and our own path as an Elder. \n  \nHow the course is structured:  \nEach evening will take place interactively online from 7pm – 9.00pm pm (UCT – UK time) and will have its own subject / intent: \n\n2.10.2024 : Connecting with archetypal and mystical female Elders\, Crones & Wise Women\n9.10.2024: Exploring the modern Elder and becoming aware of shadow aspects\n23.10.2024 Doing and Being: How to navigate our transformational journey into Elderhood & stand in our truth and power\n\n  \nFees: To participate in the workshop / course: £ 65.00 (recordings will be made available to participating women) \nThe fees include another gathering\, which we can add later in November if the group decides that this would be beneficial.
