A WOMANS WORLD
WORDS:

Being a woman. What does that mean? When you
see other women do you feel a connection?
A woman is strength, often
hidden, but always there. A
woman is nurturing, through
every situation, a woman is the
giver of life, a woman opens
herself to excruciating pain but
then gives only unconditional
love..
When women come together
there is an energy that
connects them, unseen, but
felt. It is a spiritual connection,
it is why women touch others
who need support, that one
touch can raise a smile, it
can bring hope, it is a sign
of love. When women group
together, this energy becomes
an incredible force and can be
used to heal.
Portals to the Self: A Women’s
Circle by the Sea brings
women together at a retreat,
on Isla Mujeres, an island in
the tranquil turquoise waters
of the Mexican Caribbean.
This island is sacred to Ixchel,
the Mayan Moon Goddess and
historically a place for healing
rituals among the Mayan
people.
Women come together in a
circle, sharing their energies
offering
compassion
and
support as stories and wisdom
are shared. In ancient times
this is how many women
would have learned the ways
of their tribe, but in our fast
paced life, with family units
breaking down to being often
thousands of miles apart, this
ritual is lost.
