In the Company of Women

Topic Presenter: Mary Gay Shafer, MA


Feminine consciousness is fundamentally mysterious.


It is She who moves in the depths of the unconscious ocean inside each of us. It is She who oversees the coming and going of form, the births and deaths, as we journey into and out of life experience. Because of her great blessings of beauty and love, we are able to weave our connections to each other, to the earth, and to all of lifes expressions. She oversees the realm of relating and relationship. The power of the feminine is being, not doing. It is full, embracing, accepting Presence.

Mary Gay Shafer guides you as you explore the feminine, through guided visualization and interactions with the elements of nature. The feminine spirit is found inside and outside in you and in others.

There is something mysterious about women - our hidden recesses arelit by moonlight. Yes, there is something fundamentally mysterious about women, about you.

The truth is even women are not fully awareof their elusive and alluring nature. Perhapsthat is one of the things we love about being women. Our hidden recesses are lit by moonlight,obscuring any attempts to define, contain or control. Mistress of the night, mother of the earth and daughter of the ocean there are oh-so-many ways to seek to know the deep feminine. Yet the mystery remains.

We will embark on our journey in the spirit of wise innocence, seeking to experience that which can only be revealed in the company of women in the greater environment of nature. With no expectation about what will be discovered, the journey becomes one full of promise and revelation.

Sojourns into the interior privacy of yourself will be enhanced by group excursions into the beautiful countryside full of magical moments and sweet revelry. Rich with feeling and warm in the embrace of companionship, we will come to understand what it is to be a woman standing full and complete in our own true nature. Perhaps it will be necessary to release an old identity or two in order to come to know this truth. Perhaps you need only recognize more clearly that which you already know.

Wherever you are, however you are, you are welcome in the circle that is Woman.
