Red Slippers you can Make?
There’s no place like home, there’s no place… you get the story… the one where the power to take ourselves home has always been there, within us… and it IS. So, for ALL of us that felt like “home” at Seven Sisters Festival, please remember, that home, lives within.
Integrating back into our lives, after a big opening, can be a bit hard… how does one fit back into such a small place? There are all sorts of theories, from “make your world bigger” to, “don’t try and fit”…or “let all that you know dissolve, that you may start afresh with all this new found self!”. We do it after Confest, we do it after summer, we take all this open self and try an put it into a closed system… one that is stable and quite fine thank you… well, what every body knows of you… complete with all the agreements you made to keep the status quo… but, if I may, part of what has opened you is that the status quo is far from serving you, and/or the earth.
It’s not a throw away line, to truly wish you know yourself held in circle, because I do… Truly wish for EVERY woman to know themselves held in circle, like the ones we all felt at Seven Sisters. Can we imagine that? Women everywhere with a core self intact, heard, held and seen on a regular basis… WOW, that would be awesome. That is what I call women empowered.
If there was ever an impetus to create circle, it is this longing for what we just touched, the sisterhood that touched us. I know I am not waiting for a whole year to sup from that chalice again! By being in my circle, indeed bringing to my circle what I felt during the Seven Sisters Festival, I am held open, safe in my openess.
So, make your list, set a date, offer the space… allow yourselves to drop deep down into the mama within, the womb of earth. Create a safe circle, make it confidential, keep it respectful, honour yourselves and each other. Be kind. Step in and surrender to your circle of sisters… and just like that, three taps of your shoes together, and your home!
