Women's Weekend
Women's Weekend
Living in a world that has been masculine in orientation, much of
women's knowledge has not been a part of our institutionalized
education. This omission has been detrimental to the fabric of life and
community across the globe. Women are graced with amazing feminine
capacities and our bodies and beings are capable of so much that many of
us are not even aware of. The more we understand our inherent design,
and the more opportunities we have to experience that design, the more
whole we become. The more whole we become, the more empowered and
inspired we will be to share our true gifts with the world.
Our events are designed to help women rediscover and reconnect with the women's wisdom that is our birthright. |
Feminine Anatomy 101: What Every Woman Should Know About Her Body
The intention of this aspect is to provide information on our feminine anatomy in a way that "sex education" did not. We will explore our feminine anatomy physically, emotionally and energetically. You will learn more about the muscles, bones, ligaments and organs of the pelvic bowl. We will look at the endocrine system, the reproductive organs, discussing the manifestation of health and dysfunction for each. We will touch briefly on the magnetic polarity of the feminine and the feminine life cycles. There will be guided meditation and journaling.
Feminine Sexuality: The Nature of Sex from the Feminine Perspective
Sexuality is a fundamental force of nature. It has an enormous influence on our lives, our communities, our culture. Sexuality as most of us know it is based on a masculine model and is not understood in its fullness. For all things to be whole, the feminine and masculine must be in balance. The intention of this part of the weekend is to help women understand the feminine sexual perspective and cultivate a deeper connection with themselves and the power they can source in cultivating their feminine sexual magnetism.

The Feminine Life Cycle: Rediscover the Healing Power of your Menses, Giving Birth and Menopause
Women have a life cycle, as do men, that flows with the cycles of nature and with the cycle of their own life and personal evolution. Understanding our cycles and the opportunities for growth that are inherent within them can help us grow, learn and evolve on our path.

Feminine Self-Care
This aspect of the weekend is about balance and the reconnection with self and nature. Drawing on teachings from many traditions, the practices are designed to empower women and reconnect them with their innate feminine magnetic potential. By re-connecting with the breath, the belly, and the ability to surrender, and eventually emptiness, great energy is liberated, blocks are released and strength is cultivated. We will do practices to help build and store the energy we need to move through life (external) and also cultivate internal alchemy, circulating and radiating the stored energy, bringing balance to inner and outer, masculine and feminine, water and the fire.

Root and Rise seeks to make this information available and affordable to all women. In order to do this, courses are generally offered at a sliding scale and volunteer opportunities are available.
