A Course in Miracles
2023-05-10 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | France
A Course in Miracles: each week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.”
Has any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear, guilt and hatred, suspicion and divisiveness?

Whether a beginner, a student of many years, or an on-again/off again inquirer, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together, is love manifest.

Goddess Dance
2023-05-12 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
If you would like to have a picture of you, that expresses your soul, sensitivity and essence… this event is for you.
Personally, I don’t like posing for photos or pre-assembled scenarios, what I really like is photos of moments and or photos that expresses my emotions.
If you identify with this, Mari Hugueney and I – Milla Dalbem invite you to participate in the first edition of Goddess Dance – an event just for women, where we will create a safe and sacred space to bring out our most beautiful emotions, allowing us to experience these feelings while we have our photos being captured by Mari’s delicate look.
What to expect from this event:
* Cacao Ceremony
* Guided meditation and breathing exercises
* Dance flow
* The most beautiful photos that you will be able to gift yourself.

Q&A
I’m embarrassed to dance / be photographed, is this event for me?
– Yes! Mari has a lot of delicacy and you won’t even notice her taking pictures of you. As you don’t have to pose in front of the camera, this event is precisely for those who are shy. We will all be united in a flow, which will serve as an inspiration and not a comparison.
Does age matter at this event?
– our soul and essence has no age. All ages are welcome!
I don’t know how to dance and I don’t feel confident about it, what can I do?
– it won’t be exactly a dance, it will be guided movements, in a delicate way to bring out your feminine side and even this event can help you build greater self confidence
I don’t like to be photographed because I’m not photogenic.
– have you ever tried having your best being brought up to surface before being photographed? It is your mind state that will make a good picture.

If you feel called to participate in this event with us, follow the link below to purchase tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/629608835977
There will be few spots for us to be in a very intimate group.
You will receive your edited photos within 1 week after the event electronically.

About the Hosts
Milla Dalbem – my passion is to create sacred spaces for our emotions and for self-knowledge. I have been conducting ceremonies for 3 years and for 2 years I have been developing specific work with the sacred feminine. I have found much healing in looking fondly at issues I was taught to look down on.

Mari Hugueney – I’m looking for beauty everywhere, I think that photography is my look that is perpetuated around, I love to see beauty in people. Beauty not in the sense of matching a pattern, but in the sense of harmony, charm and authenticity. I don’t do pictures, the people who do it. On the other hand, I just observe.
