Enlightening the Body: A Mystical & Meditation Experience for Women
w/ Special Guest Renee Jennings (MA, MSW, LISW-S)
When the light of spirit touches the substance of soma, a profound alchemy occurs.
We undergo a transfiguration that liberates the truth of our being from the conditioned, limited mind. Our body becomes the temple that spans cell to soul, bone to breath, and the sensual cosmos itself. We recognize our divine essence and become guided by what the mystics call the Beloved.
Through a descent into our corporeality and felt experience as women, and with the fierce Love of the divine feminine, we will encounter the numinous wisdom of Mother Earth as we engage in mystical relaxation, Sufi breath and meditation practices, and Quantum Grounding.
Our time together will include nervous system regulation, working with the elements, a heavy energy clearing, brief group processing, and an offering of global healing.
