GRANDMOTHERS GATHERING FOR GITCHIGAAMING
(Lake Superior) August 11-14, 2016 (there are still 3 spaces open, are you being called?)
“Reciprocal Radiance”
Who: All women -- especially those 45 yrs and older – who may or may not have grandchildren, of all beliefs, backgrounds, races and nationalities. GrandMothers & GrandOthers! Younger women are also welcome.
What: Gather diverse elder women and welcome all women on a pilgrimage to Madeline Island for four days to: ~ Express appreciation and love to Lake Superior, (the largest body of fresh water) and all water. ~ Gift and celebrate Lake Superior, all water, and each other as one~ Create and communicate visions of Lake Superior and all waters as healthy now and for future generations. ~ Hold and amplify these visions into the future.
Join us for an intensive four-day retreat in circle, individual time, diverse ceremonies, laughter, deep reflection, time with the water, drumming, healthy local food, blessing and being blessed by beautiful Gitchigaaming. We are excited about our deepening awareness of the ways spirit moves through this Gathering and it continues to inform our approach. The theme this year is: “Reciprocal Radiance”….what does it mean to be light, radiate light and receive love and light from the Lake?
At the Gathering, we utilize Peer Spirit Circle Process for our circle discussions from “Calling the Circle” by Christina Baldwin. We utilize “Heart Coherence Practice” from the Institute of Heart Math; we utilize the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, “Hidden Messages in Water”; we are influenced also by Sandra Ingerman from, “Walking in Light” and “Medicine for the Earth”; and we practice the Law of Attraction from Abraham-Hicks, where we focus our work on the positive aspects of appreciation and love toward the Lake and each other. Won’t you join us?
