Reflected in the heart beat of every woman is the rhythm of a thousand ancestral drums. Powerful and strong inside every woman is a warrior. The path of a warrior is one steeped in misrepresentation for it requires a truly courageous spirit, and can feel lonely at times. During this one day event we will focus on how women approach the path of a warrior, and will explore the inner warrior in every woman, the things women fight for, how to reclaim the sacred clan mothers, and the warrior aspects of the Goddess.
The female guardian and warrior walks a delicate balance, she is as strong as a tempered blade when needed, but can be as soft as silk when needed as well, strong and feminine, a combination that rises to the call of the Goddess, and leaved weaker men quaking in their boots. This workshop is for every woman who has ever had to defend her hearth and her home, and for every woman who has stood her ground for what she knew to be right in her heart and gut! This workshop is for you, the everyday woman, the warrior who defends herself, her children, and her home.
Some of the topics that will be covered: the 3 levels of will, power with vs. power over, boundaries, warding, offense and defense. The Clan Mothers and Grandmothers, Dark Alphas, being pro-active, owning yourself, standing your ground, where to find help, the Queens of Olde.
The Silk and Steel event will conclude with an empowering Women’s ritual, filled with blessings and shields to aid you in your journey as you walk the path of a warrior woman every day.
