A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE FEMININE AND MASCULINE FOR THE SAKE OF A BETTER WORLD 

“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.”

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

 WE ARE the humans we have been waiting for!  This is a clarion call to awakening souls to gather for an essential conversation that can begin to restore the balance between the feminine and masculine, and usher in a time of Sacred Union.

As the force of hate and division plays out on the world stage, creating suffering and loss, we cannot turn away from the mirror that this conflict holds up to us.  

This is the same drama of division that has played out for eons between men and women. It is the drama that plays out within each man and woman as their masculine disregards their feminine feeling natures, and their feminine disregards their more logical masculine natures.

We have abdicated our divinity by believing in the separation. We need to see this illusion for what it is—a reflection of a deep misunderstanding  that has caused pain since the beginning. We are called to transcend the duality and step into the original state of ONENESS that is who we really are.

End  those late-night talks that seem to lead nowhere, and instead learn to speak in a way that you can be heard and understood, each by the other? 

Learn how to show your partner love in the way he or she feels loved, because you so deeply understand each other, and appreciate and cherish each other. 

This experience of being deeply understood and appreciated for who you are brings powerful energy to all areas of your life—your work, your relationships with partners, with your children, with friends. 

There is a healing in this kind of relating, which is a rare experience of being deeply connected, not in a sexual way, but as Soul Friends on a Great Journey. 

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other” doesn't make any sense.” ~ Rumi

Who: All humans welcome—gay, straight, bi-sexual, trans, and those who do not identify as gendered. Couples especially welcome.

When: April 30, 2017 10 am – 7:00 pm

Where: At Fox Haven Farm and Learning Center, 3630 Poffenberger Rd, Jefferson, MD 21755

 What you can expect:

• An opening of your heart to yourself and others.
• An increased ability to listen deeply without needing to be right.
• New communication skills and ability to resolve conflict.
• A recognition and liberation of cultural gender norms.
• Greater clarity about your true purpose.
• Lots of fun and new friends!

We will sit in circles together.  We will use movement, drumming, heart-expanding exercises, and the power of the collective HEART to dissolve the differences, so that we can reclaim our innocence and capacity to see one another clearly.

Afterwards, we will enter the womb of the mother, the Inipi sweat lodge, to purify our bodies, minds and spirits.  This alchemical process is the transformation into a realm of consciousness that vibrates at the frequency of LOVE, which knows no separation. Together we will co-create an embodied experience of ONENESS.

We will then offer our hopes and prayers for the world we are birthing through our new consciousness—-a world of JOY, PEACE, WISDOM AND LOVE.

****** Please bring blankets and backjacks and cushions for sitting, as well as musical instruments (drums, rattle, tambourines, etc), and snacks if you like. 

A delicious organic lunch will be provided.  There will be translation into Spanish.

Cost: $111 per person.  Space is limited, so we recommend that you reserve a spot as soon as possible.  

The conversation will be facilitated by Kathleen Hanagan, LSCW, and Alex Preciado

 Kathleen Hanagan, LCSW, spiritual teacher, psychotherapist, and ordained shamanic priestess, integrates the essential wisdom of the great spiritual traditions with cutting edge science, 30 years working intimately with individuals, couples, and groups, and her own quest for liberation.

With the clarity that comes from one familiar with the territory of the heart, Kathleen shows us how to walk between the worlds in this time of the Great Remembering.

Her book, Loveseed: The Template For Birthing A New World, shows us how to create miracles through shifts in our perception, that allow us to trance-end fear and live joyful, contributive lives.
