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; some women continue to participate year after year. Earnest women are welcome to join any time of the year. During our time together we 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.

The intentions of this group are to:

  • Promote deeper connection with Mother Earth and her many creatures, birds, trees and plants.
  • Share women’s songs and women’s rituals
  • Support each other in enlivening and empowering our inner wise-woman, inspired by women–real and mythical.
  • Share hugs, food, stories and sisterhood.

    • 2012 Circle: The group will begin to constellate in January at two different events: January 14th (regular monthly format) and January 28th (women’s sweatlodge.) Please contact Therese if interested in attending one or the other of these events. Read more about sweatlodges here.

    The 2012 Earth Mothers Circle will be guided by teachings in the book “The Thirteen Original Clan Mothers” (by Jamie Sams), exercises in Starhawk’s book “Earth Path.”  We always rouse up our energy with women’s songs, old and new, and Therese shares some Si.Si.Wiss Grandmothers songs that tap us into ancient woman wisdom from the First Nations Peoples of the Puget Sound area.

    Commitment: Women are asked to make a year-long commitment, since a beautiful intimacy develops amongst members of the group who show up month after month. We are sacred witness to each others’ changes, challenges and joys throughout the year. However perfect attendance 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.

    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.
