Feminine & Masculine Reconciliation Workshop
We offer an experiential forum where women and men gather together in a safe space to examine how we relate to the feminine and the masculine within ourselves and among one another in light of 3,000 years of patriarchy and the marginalization of the Feminine.
– How can I build more trust and capacity to be true to myself in relationship?
– What can I transform within to open deeper to love, forgiveness and mutual reverence?
Participants are guided in a series of experiential exercises, ritual and conscious dialogue, opening a doorway for healing, mutual understanding, forgiveness and reconciliation.
This workshop is dedicated to help us shift from a fear-based story of separation towards one of trust and mutual support that honors our whole beings.
The profound shifting from our afternoon together of guided sharing continues to create ripples of further awakening and healing within me! Truly a movement worthy of further expansion and deepening.

I feel deeply honored to have been a part of this workshop, among the first of its kind with men and women gathered together expressing their deep feelings about the historic disconnect between the masculine and feminine. We are all guilty and none of us is to blame as we are a part of the evolution being lived out now during this reemergence of the Feminine sensibility. As we begin to change our stories, we heal not only ourselves and our loved ones, but our planet. Deep bows to all those courageous enough to show up and to give voice to the truth of their experiences. Let’s encourage more of this dialogue for the benefit of all beings.
