Wise
Woman Retreats
with Rebecca Jeffers M.Ed., LPC
"When a woman speaks her truth, fires up
her intention and feeling, stays tight with the instinctive nature, she
is singing, she is living in the wild breath-stream of the soul"
CP Estes' author Women Who Run With the
Wolves

"Maiden ~ Mother ~
Crone: Women's Sacred Journey"
Texas Star Ranch,
Weatherford Texas
January 21-23, 2005
Becoming intuitively engaged
with the Universal energies of the Maiden/Mother/Crone deepens a woman's
relationship with herself and her world. These energies occur not only
in our chronological life stages, but also in our day to day cycling and
re-cycling of emotional and spiritual growth. As our lives unfold, no
matter our age, we are called to pass through three feminine gates where
we engage the Maiden/Mother/Crone aspects of ourselves.
At the first
gate we meet the Maiden with her budding instinct, natural naiveté', and
open joyful spirit. With her receptivity we accept the seeds of new
consciousness and awareness. At the next gate we carry the seed into the
realm of the Mother which allows us to incubate, birth, and nurture this
previously unknown part of ourselves. This creative blossoming moves us
through the third gate were we discover the clarity, vision, and courage
of the Crone who enables us to "give back" newfound wisdom in
relationships with Self and others. Through this Journey of the eternal
tri-cycle a woman discovers her True Self.
Ritual of Maskmaking
When a woman enters the sacred
ceremony of creating a mask of her face she is astonished by the power
of the experience. Through the mask we will show our face as the Maiden,
Mother, Crone thereby deepening our inner knowing. Ritualistically we
come "face to face" with the deepest parts of ourselves.
Dance of the
Maiden/Mother/Crone
The dancing path will cross
the thresholds into the realms of the Maiden/Mother/Crone symbolizing
our journey from seed, to flower, to harvest. Within a circle of
intimacy and support we will venture through each of these gates.
