Earth Mothers Circle
Calling all women who love our Mother Earth and want to…
Re-connect with the natural world and
Deepen and expand your woman-wisdom!
Join the Earth Mothers Circle!
Since 2003 Therese (guided by inner grandmothers and the ancient Clan Mothers) has offered a year-long women’s group that meets one afternoon each month at Sacred Groves. Generally women join the group early in the calendar year and commit to attending regularly throughout the year but earnest women are welcome to join anytime during the year.
The intentions of this group are to:
The Earth Mothers Circle is for women who yearn to establish bonds with other women by showing up every month (or as often as possible) from 11a.m. to 4pm to the monthly Saturday afternoon group offered at Sacred Groves. During our time together we will share food, stories, songs, ceremony, teachings about the Medicine Wheel and grandmother wisdom. We will also have silent time walking and sitting outdoors, listening to messages from Mother Earth’s many creatures, birds, trees, plants and stones.
2010 Circle: The 2010 group welcomes others to join our Earth Mothers Sweatlodge on Saturday Sept 18th. Please contact Therese if interested in attending. Read more about sweatlodges here.
The 2010 Earth Mothers Circle connects with the work of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers which was described initially in the book “Grandmothers Counsel the World”, written by Carol Shaefer. We will also be guided by teachings in the book “The Thirteen Original Clan Mothers” (by Jamie Sams) and exercises in Starhawk’s book “Earth Path.” The Earth Mothers Circle will meet (most always) on the 3rd Saturday each month, 11a.m.-4pm.
Commitment: Women are asked to make a year-long commitment to this group. However, attendance at every month’s gathering is not required.
Money Biz: Therese requests $250 up front for the year or $25-40 per month for this group. This is a suggested donation; Therese is willing to accept what you can afford. Please don’t let money be the reason you don’t join us.
We meet from 11:30am to 4:30pm one Saturday a month. Dates set for the remainder of 2010 are
August 28 at Ekone Ranch

The Earth Mothers Circle is part of a larger fabric called the Sacred Groves Women’s Mysteries School, a weaving of teachings, gatherings, ceremonies and quests. Women involved in the Earth Mothers Circle are encouraged to consider going even deeper into ‘women’s mysteries’ by participating in a Vision Quest, the ‘Blood mysteries Rite” and/or events at other venues such as Women of Wisdom Conference, Women’s Way Red Lodge, Women’s Summer Solstice Camp, Women’s Way LongDance.
