In the traditional telling of the story of Eden, Eve is the cause of humanity’s fall into corruption. She is the gateway to the devil, it is told. She will experience pain in childbirth, it is said. Earth and woman are lesser than intellect and man.

This is an old story, born from a false doctrine an ideology that man is human, and woman is not. One of the Great Fathers of Western Philosophy, Aristotle, viewed woman as a deformity of man, made to obey him. We see these themes in the Pauline letters, spread through institutional Christianity at the hands of the Vatican, The Protestant Revolution, and the American Evangelical Church.

Where is the Sacred Theology of the Earth, Woman, and the Feminine? The Feminine Divine.

It is whispered in the depths of your bones. In the crevasses of your heart. In the vibration of your womb.

Woman. You are holy.

A sacrament of the divine enfleshed.

Man. You are holy.

A sun of light to praise.

The true human. The human with radiant eyes of love.

It is time for the equality of humans with our non-human kin, all creatures of earth, to exude and mirror the beauty of Self and Other.

The wisdom of Sophia, the Goddess of Wisdom, the Feminine Creator is awakening, and she longs for your co-participation in creating a more beautiful world.

This workshop is for you, if you have found that deep in your soul, you long for more belonging, connection, aliveness and vitality with your body, the body of earth, and your spiritual heart.

This is a container held within Christian Mysticism, the Feminine and Cosmic Christ. Whether you consider yourself a follower of Christ or not, you are welcome.

This will be a 3-day workshop in August of 2024.

Within my mentoring practice, I focus primarily on relationship. We humans thrive when we are in healthy loving relationship to ourselves first and foremost, then to others, and the more-than-human-world.

We live in an epoch of human history that has lost the art of connection, love, playful sensuality, soulful creativity and mutually enhancing ways of relating.

In our work together, we will work toward you creating a life that feels utterly authentic to you. A life based on your particular deepest longings, desires and truths.

We will unravel anything in your life that has had its roots in survival strategies, based on ways you might have needed to survive when you were a little kid. And focus on how to create the life you want now that you are an adult.

I also offer support for people who want to deepen into their faith tradition from an earth-based perspective, particularly for reconstructing Christians. And I support people from all faith-traditions.

I look forward to walking alongside you as you create a life you want to belong to.

Aesthetics, according to the Oxford English Dictionary is a branch of philosophical study that is concerned with, “taste, or of the perception of the beautiful.” Aesthetics is an art. The term is derived from aisthesis, an ancient Greek word meaning sensation or perception.

In the poem Consecrated by Meister Eckhart in Daniel Ladinsky’s translation, he writes, “All has been consecrated. The creatures of the Forest know this, the earth does, the seas do, the clouds know as does the heart full of love. Strange a priest would rob us of this knowledge and then empower himself with the ability to make holy what already was.”

In the depths of your own heart is an emblem of the truth of the aesthetic and your own perception of the holy and beautiful.

At one time, each of our connections with the earth and cosmos was a given. Yet in our domesticated modernity, many of us have lost our unique thread of love found within this wild and wondrous earth. Christianity has often taught that heaven is in the afterlife and has little regard for the ethic of Jesus’s words,” The kingdom of Heaven is within you.” Which is essentially a call to the radical pursuit of letting the heaven within us move out to greet the world and to create heaven here and now, in this earth home we inhabit.

This course is an invitation to re-ignite the soul aesthetics within you, held within what Matthew Fox calls, “The Cosmic Christ.”

For nine weeks in the autumn of 2024 on Sundays at 1:00-2:30 EST, we will gather together to reclaim the more feminine and aesthetic dimensions held within the Christ tradition. There will be council sharing, dreamwork, poetry and somatic practices to support this reclamation of our participation and connection to the more-than-human world and the aesthetics that arise when we welcome our animal bodies to live and thrive.
