The Feminine Fire: Power and Leadership with Sobonfu Some
Feb 26 2011 - Feb 27 2011
From time immemorial, cultures around the world have turned to feminine power for strength, guidance, and healing. We often don't acknowledge or own our innate power, and many women feel isolated by the challenge of asserting the leader within. How can we embrace and acknowledge our identity and place and begin to bring forward this depth of wisdom to nourish our community? Through redefining and recognizing women's way of knowing we can strengthen our power and re-engage with the deep feminine. During the weekend workshop, we will explore various modes in women's lives-motherhood, partnerships, friendships, and work. The workshop invites women to enter into the sacred feminine fire and honor our unique ways of celebrating, sharing, and defining our vision. Through connecting with ritual and indigenous ancestor wisdom we will find peace, freedom, and empowerment for our lives and the world.
Sobonfu Somé is a respected lecturer, activist, and author. Her work has helped move African spiritual practices alongside the world's great spiritual traditions. According to Alice Walker, Somé's message "can help us put together so many things that modern Western world has broken." She is the founder of Wisdom Spring, Inc., an organization dedicated to preserving and sharing indigenous wisdom. Her books include The Spirit of Intimacy, Welcoming Spirit Home, and Falling Out of Grace.
