Spring Sabbatical

The Spring 2013 Magical Sabbatical session is designed around the theme of “spring renewal.” This online program is a quarterly immersion in magic, mystery, and spiritual connection designed to develop your intuition, align you with your soul purpose, and release fears that limit your power – all with an emphasis on the magic of springtime. We honor the Wheel of the Year and work magic according to seasonal wisdom.
Together this spring, we will shed the warm comforts of winter and prepare for new growth. Think of this time as a little magical oasis where a circle of wise women gather to support,
affirm, and embrace each other while we witness each other’s soul evolution.

How do we do this? Magic.

The Magical Sabbatical works on conscious, subconscious, and energetic levels to uncover patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that limit your spiritual wingspan. We use gemstones, candle magic, sacred crafting, potion blending, and ritual practice to reveal and heal those patterns and emerge more whole and aligned on the other side.

This program is designed for YOU if you seek:

• Spiritual and philosophical community in which to explore your divine feminine power – that sensuous, strong, sexy, sanctified being in each of us that longs to be given a voice
• A fuller understanding of the correspondences and meanings of gems, stones, herbs, flowers, and sacred perfumes, and how to ritually use these items as touchstone reminders of your feminine energy
• Ritual and ceremony to heighten your awareness of the magic in life and the influences of forces beyond those that act upon your five basic senses
• Sacred space where you can establish intimate dialogue with kindred spirits and learn from other wise women who are, like you, tapping into their ancient knowledge and letting it work through their hands
