A Course in Miracles
2024-06-12 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.

And it is the second Summer Solstice we will celebrate as a women’s mind-liked community.

I invite all the women from the New England Area to get together and celebrate one of the most powerful energies of the year, the summer solstice because the North hemisphere receives a lot of sun energy.

We will be gathering in a circle to consecrate Cacao, making shamanic offerings in honor for summer energies, talking about the Maiden archetype, and talking about Sacred Sexuality.

Sexual energy is the creative energy that brings life to Earth. Join us to discover new perspectives on this subject and to bring your opinion to add on our group.
All women are welcome
Age 16+

Remember to bring with you snacks for sharing during our circle and a red object for our altar.
