Prague - An Invitation to Cross the Threshold

12/22/2014

2 Comments

 
I have just returned home from a 10 day trip to Prague.  Steve, Andrew - my oldest son, and I joined my daughter, Alea, who was finishing up her semester abroad study program there.  We spent just over a week exploring and experiencing this "Golden City" in the heart of Europe.  Ostensibly, this trip was about family, being with our two oldest kids, and exploring a place that we might have never visited except that this is where Alea chose to spend her time abroad studying "Art and Social Change".  Together, the four of us together walked many cobbled streets, taken trams and trains, experienced the beauty and history of the buildings and sites, and delighted in the cafes serving excellent coffees and pastries.  Yet, whenever I travel, I also ask what is the "other" journey that is going on at the same time.  Why else was I going to Prague?  What else was going on at the same time as I was walking these cobbled streets and visiting these particular sites?  What was the soul gift from this journey and these experiences?

Before leaving for Prague, two resources presented themselves to clue me into the answers to these questions.
 The first was receiving the "Libuše, Prophetess of Prague" card from Cheryl Yambrach Rose's beautiful "Art through the Eyes of the Soul" Oracle deck of cards, with its message: 

"A New Door is Opening - Step over the Threshold"
Doors open to allow us an opportunity to reach our fullest potential.  Do not fear unknown territory.

In the 8th century, the Druid Princess Libuše foresaw Prague in a mystical trance.  It is is said this took place on the hill of her castle at Vysehrad, a magical site that has been occupied since 3000 BCE.  She saw a castle whose "renown touches the heavens…its boundaries set by the Vltava's waves….in this place would be a man constructing a "prah".  This is translated as "threshold", but is also known to be a hollow dug in the center of European cities to connect them to the Otherworld.  There would then be a "prah" ritual performed by a Duid priest aligning it to the four directions.  This is how Praha/Prague got its name.  Libuše began the Premyslid Dyanasty of Czech kings and represents the last of the Celtic matriarchal society.

The second resource was the unusual travel book called A Traveler's Companion to Prague by Jan Kaplan that is a compilation of personal reflections on Prague over many centuries through letters, diaries, memoirs and anecdotes from many different people.  This book provided information and insight into Prague that I would not have been aware of from simply reading travel guides.

In the chapter "Early Beginnings", Kaplan shares Prague's early history in tales written by Cosmas, the Canon of Prague in the 11th century, whose writings give us the ancient account of the legends of Libuše. As one of three daughters of the Pagan Bohemian Pince, Krok, Princess Libuše reigned with her consort, Premysl, and the legend says that she received a vision of a town that created the founding of the City of Prague.

Standing on the rock of Vysehrad in the presence of her husband and the elders of her people, and incited by the spirit of prophecy, Libuše uttered this prediction: 'I see a town, the glory of which will reach the starts.  There is a spot in the forest, thirty strides from this village, which the River Vltava encircles and which to the north the stream Brusnice secures by its deep valley; and to the south a rocky hill, which from its rocks takes the name Petrin, towers above it..when you have reached the spot you will find a man in the midst of the forest who is working at a door-step for a house.  And as even mighty lords bend before a low door, so from this event you shall call the town which you shall build - Praha.  THus the proceeded immediately to the ancient forest, and having found the sign which had been given them they built on this site Praha, the mistress of all Bohemia."  (p.36)

Bringing together these two resources provided me with a powerful context from which to explore and experience this magical city, whose glory most certainly does "reach the stars."  Also, we stayed at a lovely hotel that was located right at the base of the Cathedral and Castle, the site of the Libuše's vision.  I could easily and frequently look up to the rocky mount and see the spires of the cathedral as they reached for and touched the sky.

I felt strongly pulled by the legend of Libuše and the site of Vysehrad where she had received her vision. I kept returning to the card and Kaplan's book to re-read the stories about the legends of the origins of Prague.  I was also very curious to experience the actual land and magical site where where Libuše received her vision, and to open myself up to the card's invitation to step over a threshold of my own journey.  And so it was perfect that we would spend our last day in Prague visiting Vysehrad which in Czech means "the high castle" and served as the place from where the ancient princes ruled the land of Bohemia.

On our last day, Alea, Steve and I set out and headed south to Vysehrad.  Andrew had experienced the underground night life of Prague the night before and had only just gotten back to the hotel as we were leaving.  It was an especially cold and wintry day as we walked from the Metro stop and entered the gates into Vysehrad.  As soon as we got inside of the walls, the place took on another worldly and timely feel.  I began to feel as though I had truly entered an "other world".  As we walked the quiet streets, I saw many signs of the sacred feminine - rotunda towers, stones marking ley lines, Mary and Child images above doorways and a full sized statue in the famous cemetary, even a vulva shape in a tree. I experienced a soft, protected energy here high up on this rocky outcropping and was very happy to be here.
 
We walked through the Vysehrad Gardens and found the statue of Libuše with her consort, Premysl, as she received the vision, her hand outstretched to the heavens.  I stood before her and gave thanks for her providing me with this invitation to experience Vysehrad and to cross this threshold.
Picture
We then walked out to and explored around the top of the wall, overlooking the woods and river to the south.  I had misread the map, and thought that the baths where Libuše had supposedly received the vision was over to the south, but I knew something didn't feel right.  Why would she receive this vision on the opposite side of the city and the rocky hill where she would site the castle and the Cathedral touching the stars?

I was a little disappointed and confused by this experience, so we continued to walk along the pavement around the top of the wall, coming to the southwest corner. A small vineyard was tucked in next to a building, and as we  rounded it, we came into view of the city of Prague to the north, with the Castle and Cathedral in the distance up the river.   The energy here opened up and expanded.  I felt drawn to this area.  I felt enlivened.  I took a picture that included another vineyard with the city in the distance.  I could feel the creative energies of this spot, and generation of life and nature in the vines, even though they were pruned and prepared for winter.  I experienced a vibrancy and aliveness in this area, and when I looked over the vineyard and down hill, I saw the rocky outcropping, the remains of the baths and the ancient castle, and the river down below.  I was here a the very place I had been so pulled to come.
I walked over to the outlook, imagined the vision as Libuše saw it, and saw the low clouds quickly moving, seeming as though they were touching the spires of the Cathedral, reminding me of the "glory of which will touch the stars"!

I rooted myself to the core of the Earth in this spot, and reached my energy to the stars, connecting myself like a Tree of Life.  I gave thanks for being here, for experiencing the invitation to cross a threshold, and to open to and receive a vision and to bring it forth into reality and form.  Nearby, there was a young tree that was hung handmade, simple ornaments made of fruit, bread, toothpicks and thread.  So simple, yet it offered a symbol of acknowledgement of the legend of Libuše and my accepting her invitation, and promise of the fruit and gifts to come.
Picture
As I walked toward the church, I became aware of the connection of the vision of Prague to this land, this place.  The vision needed a place to land, to be received and then to be created and made manifest. It needed a container where it could both be received and take root. Land. Place. Connection to the Earth. The vision and the dream would have remained simply a dream without the land to root it, contain it and give it form.

My awareness expanded into a reflection of my journey over the past five years that has been about finding and connecting to my roots - my physical as well as my spiritual roots, and feeling a sense of belonging. Eighteen months ago, right around the time of the summer Solstice, as I completed the first leg of my Mary Michael pilgrimage, I planted my core tap root into the land of my Cornish Celtic ancestors in the middle of the of the circular Restormel Castle in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, deep into the center of the Earth, to connect with the core crystal at her center.  Resonance and relationship with the land and a sense of belonging are so vitally essential to me.  Having left my homeland when I was three and grown up in another country and culture from my ancestors, and having learned by necessity how to live without this connection, I have only recently begun to accept the full truth of the necessity of a powerful and intimate relationship to the land, and to the Earth.

I then paused, and realized that just as the vision of Prague was received on this ancient, magical site, it also was received by a woman,
a person, a soul, in a body to contain it, communicate it and act on it.  She who was willing to be in sacred action in alignment with the sacred vision.  The vision of Prague needed a wise and receptive person who was willing and able to hear, see and trust its message, and to understand and resonate with it.  A deep and intimate connection to the land along with a woman of trustworthy character and a openness to the sacred and divine.  In a heartbeat, I realized that the Sacred communicates through both the land and the stars, Earth and Heaven. We may open our hearts and hands to Heaven to receive from above, and at the same time, we must be rooted and grounded to the Earth to resonate and contain the fullness of the message.  It is not either/or but another opportunity of both/and.  It is our connection to both the spiritual and the physical, the stars (Heaven) and the Earth that gives us the capacity to hear, see, receive and act on communications from the Divine.

This awareness then spiraled and expanded into an acceptance that I am - and we each - can be the container and receptacle of sacred communications.  To be deeply rooted not only to place and land, but also deeply rooted and connected to my body.  My body is my Earth, my personal magical, mystical and sacred site, my home, the place to which I always belong. 
It is the paradox of it is about place, and at the same time, it is not about place.  It is about being centered and connected to the physical, the material, in a respectful, accepting, and loving way.  Always.  I am rooted and belong wherever I am, and wherever I am, I am rooted and belong. 

This is the threshold.  To come home to my own being and body.  To accept with the totality of my being that am home in my body.  My soul belongs right here.  I am being invited to cross and step over...to come home to my body.  To love and celebrate my body.  My sensations.  My sexuality.  My physicalness.  My pleasure. 

The next step of my path of evolution, creation and transformation is to come home and be deeply rooted in my body.  Fully.  To release all shame, guilt, resistance and come into full love and acceptance of all of who I am as a soul in a beautiful human body as a woman. Sacred and divine.  Sexual and spiritual.  Divine and Human.  Earth and Heaven.  All here, in me, as me, walking on this beautiful planet Earth, whose glory touches and connects with the stars.  Heaven on Earth.  Right here.  In me.  As me.

I paused.  I took a big deep breath of recognition and acceptance of the fullness of this vision, this invitation and threshold.  I said YES. YES. YES.  

As I arrived at the Church a few hundred feet away, I was greeted by two of the most beautiful mosaic murals above the two side front doors.  They spoke deep into my soul, with their unusual, colorful and golden symbols of trees, spirals, Heaven and Earth, angels, Life and Light.  On one level, they spoke to me in a way that confirmed and celebrated my YES.  On multidimensional levels, they communicated in a
symbolic language that somehow I know provides me with a map of the journey on the other side of the threshold.  I have yet to decipher and decode these symbols so that I can use and understand these maps, but I trust that the symbols and images will reveal themselves as and when the time is right.  For now, they are calling on me to simply receive them, trust them, and allow them to speak and communicate with me, and to know that I do not have to fear the journey.  The way into this unknown territory will be shown to me, and that I will receive guidance and support as I step onto this powerful journey of the Great Mystery and the unknown.
To complete, I will share with you some powerful and wise words that I received in honor of the Solstice from Francis Rico at www.ashamansguide.com:

So – are you ready to step into the Great Mystery?

Stepping off into the wild beauty of flowering Creation need not be daunting. We’ve prayed for this time to come, and we’re all in this together...
align with a willingness to accept what Life is offering – with a keen sense of the possibility that Mystery just might offer us a greater opportunity to heal our selves and our world than we have achieved with “mastery.”


This truly is the calling of the Spiral Path. To step over the threshold and leave behind the safety of the closed circle.  To step fully into effortless flow of the Spiral.  To allow for the mystery of the universe and of Life to guide and carry us forth into a new world, one in which we celebrate all of life, the sexuality and the spiritual, Heaven and Earth - for it is all Beauty, Love and the Divine.

This is the invitation and promise of the Spiral Path.  It will guide and provide for you every step of the way. And it will take you home to your Self, and create a world beyond anything you have ever known. 

A powerful experience on the day before the Winter Solstice that also happened to be the 28th anniversary of my marriage with Steve.  As I walked the land of Vysehrad, I was with Steve and my daughter Alea.  They were with me, but also know and love me as to give me space and time for mystical, inner experiences at magical and sacred sites.
Such is the beauty and gifts of these relationships.  I am so blessed and grateful.

A Windy Preparation for my Soul and Body

12/4/2014

0 Comments

 
I went on a windy walk one day last week, so windy that as I turned down the gravel road to the trailhead, I could see the grasses blowing ferociously along the side of the road.  The wind created an unusual experience.  It wasn't my typical walk of just walking along a path that I have walked many times. It was an experience in and of itself that opened my soul, cleansed my body and prepared me in an elemental way for a deep and sacred journey. As I was on the last stretch, heading back to the car, I realized that my walk was not just a walk. I recognized that it had a special quality about it and that both the walk and I were being held in a sacred container.

The wind had transformed my walk into a journey on the Spiral Path. I was blown into a different dimension, out of the normal, everyday realm and transported into a sacred and mystical realm on the sacred Spiral Path.   In Jane Meredith's words from The Descent to the Dark Goddess:

..the mystical [realm is the] one...when you slip across from one realm into another, into the sacred; into the realm of the Dark Goddess herself. In this layer you will feel the divine all around you and within you, and you will sense yourself as being in an altered, perhaps luminous space.

As I walked, I reveled in the solitude, the protective intensity of the wind, the safety of being alone out in Nature with my dog as my companion. I laughed out loud, sang, sounded, and delighted in this totally unexpected pleasure of being on the Spiral Path.


Oh, how I've missed Her.

The Spiral Path is a delicious and alive place to walk. It is mystical, nourishing, and so real. Paradoxically, it can seem so unreal and otherworldly at the same time. Ah, the presence of paradox. In Carolyn Myss' words, paradox is the language of Spirit, so when paradox is present, so is Spirit!

As I completed my journey and was heading back to the car, I reflected on this amazing experience and realized that I had walked through five distinct stages of a sacred, spiral journey: Preparation, Descent, Being In, Ascent and Integration. All five aspects were totally present as I walked the circular path around Boulder Valley Ranch. 

Allow me to share:

PREPARATION

Rupert and I began our walk from the parking lot by circling around the north side of the ranch. Immediately greeted by the ferocious wind, we were pushed us along the path, sometimes very literally. Even my sticks were getting swept by the wind, and at times, I was walking, almost running with the wind.  It pushed me up the little hill out of the ranch and onto the mesa.  As I looked up and toward the east, I could see the rough, white waves on the water of the Boulder Reservoir, so big that I could see and feel them from where I was a couple of miles away. As I walked, I found myself thinking of the journey I have committed to meet the Dark Goddess, and I asked the wind to cleanse me of all resistance - a request I asked consciously; in hindsight, I was also asking unconsciously to be cleansed and cleared of any place that I am misaligned and attached with my ego.

As we headed toward the furthest distance from the car, Rupert looked back at me as if to say "really, we're really doing this?!".  Truthfully, I was asking myself the same thing, because as soon as I would turn the corner to head south down the hill, I knew that I would no longer have the wind at my back.

DESCENT

I turned down the hill, with the wind on my right side pushing me toward the east.  It was intense, cold and invigorating to say the least.  I was on the path all by myself, with my dog.  No one else was coming out in this wind!  As I started to walk on the east side of the pond that sits at the bottom of the valley, the coldness of the wind picked up as it gathered the icy air from the top of the frozen pond.  Plus, I was down in the bottom of the valley which created a funnel for the ferocious winds.  It was so loud, and I realized that I could make sounds to match the wind and that no one would hear me.  So I stood facing the wind, asking it to cleanse me in every cell of my being.

BEING IN

I turned so that my back was to the wind, and I yelled.  I sounded.  I connected to a deep rage and anger that was emerging from my the depths of my being. I sounded from my belly to release the anger, to cleanse it from my system. I found myself thinking of a former friend with whom I have felt angry at our last conversation and betrayed by my perception of her need to be right.  I yelled.  I sounded.  I screamed.  And the wind carried away my pain and my anger, the fear that was lying just below began to surface. I turned into the wind and faced the truth that I was afraid of this person, of standing up to, of speaking my truth. It is easier to feel anger than fear, and so I allowed her to dominate me, and leave me voiceless and apologetic.

I breathed deep into my belly and found a deeper voice, a voice below the fear and anger. I found my strength, my truth, my resolve and my core.

I howled and hollered into the wind with all of my being. I became lighter and lighter, stronger and stronger.

I rejoiced in the release. I bowed to the wind and honored Her presence and support. I knew that she had held a sacred and private space for me to sound into, and in turn, She received my anger and fear and used it to fuel her ferocity. Ah. Thanks be to the great Goddess.

ASCENT:

I began my walk up the hil. Rupert was delighted to be running again! As I walked, I had the conversation that I wished I had had with this person at the time. I spoke it outloud, from my body, in my strength and truth, with my heart open and my mind clear. I climbed out from the "hell" in the bottom of the valley, and with every step, I embodied the lightness that I had become aware of at the bottom. It infused every cell. My walk shifted to one of purpose, clarity and commitment. I completed the conversation, and at the same time, my relationship with this person.

In that moment, I opened up to know that the issues and challenges, as well as the direct barbs and criticisms that arose out of the original fateful conversation were not mine to take on. I asked, "Are these words and attacks mine, or someone else's?" With delight, I knew the answer and "returned to sender with love and compassion."   I took responsibility where responsibility was due, and returned the rest to where it belonged!

I was free.

INTEGRATION:

At this point, I had reached the top of the hill and only had to walk the remaining, relatively flat section of the path along the ditch and bare cottonwood trees.

I fell into deep, peaceful contemplation as I walked. I wondered about my choices and possibilities out of this new experience of freedom.

I found myself thinking of and longing for England. Oh, to go home and to live there.

But more, I found myself longing to go deep within myeslf, to meet my Soul, and to live with Her as my trusted ally and guide. Even more, I knew that I had been given the map for the descent to meet my Soul and to engage with Dark Goddess. I had been given the experience of going in and going down, and most especially of coming back up, whole and complete within myself.

My greatest fear of not returning and of being eaten alive and spit out by the Dark Goddess had been resolved in the healing, love and compassion of my experience.

This journey and descent has to be my commitment, my quest, my journey. To experience my wholeness, living from the depth and truth of my being

No matter what.

To risk who I've been to become who I may be. To meet my Self, my darkness, my shadow, the Dark Goddess. To love, embody and accept all of my Self, my Soul, my purpose and mission, and to be Home wherever I am, with all of who I am.

WIth each step closer to the car, I opened up to an acceptance of myself, my journey and my purpose.

WIth a map and an experience of the sacred, spiral journey to meet the Dark Goddess, I am preparing and being prepared for this sacred journey. The next step beckons...

This is the gift of the spiral path. You do not return to the same place you started, as in a circle. You come back a different person, an expanded and deeper expression of who you were, and so the threshold from which you reenter the world must be different to accommodate this transformation. And so it is, close to and resembling the entrance into the mystical path, but on a different turn of the spiral that you return and reenter your life.

Such is the gift and the magic of the spiral path. For truly, when the spiral path ends, the journey truly begins.

Ahhh. The winds of change, and magic. I offer my gratitude for transporting me into the mystical realm, for giving me the map of my soul's journey, and for preparing me for this most sacred of journeys.

Peace Pilgrim

12/3/2014

As I return to my authentic style and way of writing, I am aware of a focus and excitement within me.  I can't wait to write!  I realize that I am risking a lot by showing up here like I know I have to, need to, and want to.  Yet it is a risk that I must take, for otherwise I am silenced.

Someone recently gave me book called Peace Pilgrim, about a woman who called herself Peace Pilgrim, devoted her life to service, left her material possessions behind, and walked more than 25,000 miles for peace.  Included with the book is a little pamphlet called "Steps Toward Inner Peace" and Peace Pilgrim actually encourages us to reprint any part or the whole of the book and specifically states that the book is not copyrighted.  A very different way to be in the world, wouldn't you say?

I have been reading short snippets from this pamphlet right before I go to sleep.  Her first preparation for taking a step toward peace is to "Assume right attitudes toward life" which she further explains by stating, "Stop being an escapist or a surface-liver…Face life squarely and get down below the froth of its surface to discover its verities and realities."  These words have been reverberating in my soul ever since I first read them.  My whole calling has been to go deep and to "get down below the froth", and yet somehow, I still hover at the surface of my life.  

Afraid to take the plunge.  Afraid to risk losing everything and everyone I hold dear.  Afraid of my own shadow. Afraid of my own power.

My decision and commitment to descend to the Dark Goddess is my sacred action to "get down below the froth of its surface to discover its verities and realities." 

And perhaps this just may be my path to peace, true deep inner peace.

Preparations for the Descent

12/2/2014

I am challenged to write this blog.  I know how I write best, which is immediate, personal and intimate.  When I write any other way, I become twisted up into knots and end up not writing.

And if I do keep writing, it become a labor, rather than an authentic expression.  I try to be more factual, informational, and erudite.  I feel as though I have to bring in sources, examples, and explanations.  I then get lost in my own words, and lose the thread of what I am writing about.

Some people in my life have expressed their concern that my writing is too personal, too revealing, too close to home.  And so I have removed those pages that have threatened people close to me.  I meant no harm in what I wrote, yet it was taken as criticism and blame.  I felt so bad that I had written anything that could be construed in such a way to hurt someone that I immediately deleted those posts to "protect" those people who had criticized my writing.

Yet, in the process of protecting and honoring them, I inadvertently shut the door on myself and my sharing  through my writing of my journeys - both inner and outer.  I can feel the threat of being too personal, too intimate, too immediate, and mostly, too revealing. 

So I don't write.  Or if I do, I keep it to myself, and put it into files, or the Cloud, so that some day, one day I may use what I have written.

But this is not how I write best.  I love to write in blog form.  It works for me to feel as though I am writing to someone who may read what I have written.  Even as I write this, I realize no one may even read what I have written, and that's okay!  This is how I need and want to write, as though someone may read what I write, and hopefully, that they receive a gift of insight, support, example, being able to relate, or a nudge to take the next step on their journey.  

So it's time for me to cross the threshold and write.  Write, and write some more.  To share with you my journey.  I can tell you, it's not always smooth and pretty, easy and joyful.  The outer pilgrimages I am called to take catalyze a deep inner journey that is, quite honestly, much more difficult and challenging than the outer journey.  These inner journeys - the true spiral path - makes the physical pilgrimages look easy in comparison.

I have been home now from my pilgrimage to and around Glastonbury for over two months, and I have never felt so unsettled, challenged, stuck and ill-at-ease within myself.  It is very challenging to know how to move forward, to root myself back home with my family when a part of me wants to root over in England, especially in Cornwall and Glastonbury. One foot in each of these sacred places - one foot in Cornwall, the land of my father and his Celtic ancestors; the other foot in Glastonbury and the land of my mother and her ancestors.  

Instead of moving forward, I am actually being called down and in.  Believe me, I have tried to move forward.  On to the next thing.  The next pilgrimage.  The next class.  The next offering.  And the only place I feel any resonance with is down and in.  So I am going on an inner journey to meet my Self.  Down on a journey of descent to meet and connect with my soul.

Nothing has worked to go forward.  The only direction that has any pull for me is down.  So when a Facebook friend invited her friend to join her on a 21 Day Sadhana journey to meet the Dark Goddess, I knew my answer was yes.  Filled with trepidation and wondering if my naiveté was getting the better of me, I still knew that my answer was a wholehearted, full-bodied yes.  And as I began my journey with her and her small group, I came across an amazing book called Journey to the Dark Goddess - How to Return to Your Soul by Jane Meredith.   
www.janemeredith.com

In this rich book, Meredith outlines the map of the journey to the Dark Goddess, with its Preparation, Descent, Being In, Ascent and Integration.  I knew that this book and even the 21 day sadhana were providing me with the container, directions and map for a journey that I have resisted my whole life.  It is as though I have been stuck at the threshold for as long as I can remember, terrified to take the step in and down into the darkness of my own being.

Before I left for England in June, I had a Soul Fire Session with Sera Beak www.serabeak.com.  The essence of the gift I received from this session was that I had to put as much time into planning and mapping my inner journey as I do my outer pilgrimages, and journey to my inner sacred sites.  

And so here I am, nearly six months later, being presented and invited into a descent that I had no idea at the time I would take.  Even now, as I begin my preparations for this inner journey, I feel a lightness and a rightness to go down and meet the Dark Goddess.  A lightness that supports and holds me as I prepare to descend into the darkness.  The paradox - the gift from Spirit that confirms the next step in front of me to take.

This is what I have to write about…this journey into the unknown, the unknowable.  And to write authentically, personally, and intimately, I have to risk being too personal, too intimate, too immediate.  Please bear with me as I risk this, for in this journey, I will find my voice.  Wow. Divine typo just happened.  As I typed "voice", the word "void" appeared.  As I write, I will find my void and emerge through it with my wholeness.

Thank you for reading this and thank you for allowing me this space to share my journey with you. 

Solvitur Ambulando.

With love In love As Love For Love.

    I love to walk.  I love to write.
     

    I am a pilgrim. 
    I am a Womb Shaman.
    I am the Feminine Christ Awakened.  
    ​I am becoming the Feminine Christ Embodied. 


    I walk the sacred spirals of the ancient pilgrimage paths and sacred sites along the "dragon" ley lines of the Earth.  I walk local paths. I walk to be in Nature.  I walk labyrinths and spirals. I walk to move and celebrate my body. I walk to come home to the truth of who I truly am, to connect with the Earth and Spirit, and to live my life aligned with my soul's path. My intention is to walk In Love, As Love, For Love.

    I have led Spiral Path Pilgrimage Walks & Retreats in Cornwall in the very southwest of England.

    Mostly, I have been walking the sacred paths of the Womb Spiral - internally and in Penwith, Cornwall.  These sacred journeys continue to take me more and more deeply in to the core essence of who I am - as a women and as the embodiment of the Divine Feminine.  As I root more deeply into my essence, I have experienced a strength and presence within myself that cultivates a clarity and ferocity that demands a willingness to stand in truth and love.  This in and of itself has created a tsunami of change in my life that
