At the workshop run by Jewels Wingfield http://www.jewelswingfield.com/ I had the joy of experiencing such a gathering. An attic in the heart of London was filled with female divinity, bringing to life what this new energy is about - a coming together, laying down of masks and forgetting about competition. I cannot even begin to explain with words what emotions the encounters with other beauties evoked and I don't want to make sense of it - it merely felt awesome. It was refreshing to not trying to understand, to let the mind rest and surrender to the sensations my body was flooded with.
First, women, let go of competition - it is a concept that stops us from embracing each other for we are all beautiful in our essence. We are nature, we carry the secrets to life. Jewels put it poignantly when she said that as society we have to recognised that we cannot take too much of the earth, that we must look after her. Let's do the same for each other, for ourselves, for women who are trying to be everything at once! There and then I recognised the importance and urgency for us women to help one another through the pains we carried, the traumas and the impossibilities we have faced in trying to be like men and remain women at the same time (not that men have got it much easier trying to be real men in this day and age!).
We all carry male and female but in this life I embody one: the feminine. I love to be supported by men and we should love them, but only once we come to love ourselves for what we are: women.
Hurt women, Sexual women, Emotional Women, Wild Women, Beautiful Women, Strong Women. And in this we came together on Saturday, seeing each other purely. It is an extremely powerful, vulnerable way of being that holds such greatness that we are now beginning to explore in these new times.
Meeting those sisters made me believe in the new times ahead as I looked the change in the eyes, danced with it, encouraged it in joint expressions of joy and pain. Wonderful. A beautiful future is ahead.
Thank you Jewels for this experience!
Much love,
From me to you.
