Calling All Women


Caroline Muir and I love women. Don't get me wrong, we are both happily connected with beloved men we sleep with every night and adore. But we are passionate about helping our sisters connect with their power and embody their ecstasy. That's partly because we know how we felt before we had done this ourselves. We were not nearly as happy, satisfied, cheerful, joyful and content. Once we felt the difference from the nurturing, awakening and healing we received from one another and other women, we could step into our power in a whole new way. But hey, the best way I know to share this is to share with you what others have written to us about their experiences. So here goes.

By the way, we are doing two weekends for women in October. The Invitation is Oct. 10-12 at Esalen and the Initiation Oct 17-19 in Mill Valley (early price by Sept 17). We hope you can join us. Love, Joan

“I never before felt love and acceptance for my body, or an understanding of the sacred spaces of my body!  I feel and hold myself in new respect and love, and I feel this way about other women whether I know them or not.  It is an incredible experience!” Marge

“You are brilliant leaders full of compassion and understanding, and you have an honest desire to help other women as much as you can.  The integrity of your healing work for women transcends any other healing workshop that I have experienced.  Thanks to your support, I am now gladly willing to come face-to-face with my demons, and with anything that hinders my growth and freedom.” Anna

“The weekend was billed as the divine feminine and I expected to address the sometimes duality of my sexuality and spirituality. While the energy was stored in and released from my second charka, and the energy/love itself was feminine, there was nothing sexy about the experience.  This weekend was to slip out of (or spiral up out of) the whole prison of superiority and insecurity--to step outside of it all, where giving and receiving were one and the same, and just have the pure beingness of love--to be me looking back at me by this physical connection. It pushed me right over the edge (not that I needed that much of a shove). You were very very good at creating the space, nurturing and directing the group discussion and guiding during the initiation.  I leaned more about mothering from this weekend from the two of you than I did from my own mother.” Viv

“The healing I received during the weekend was profound and I've been riding that wave ever since.  As a side note, I've been letting men come to me vs. chasing them. I've also noticed how irresistible I can be when I simply run my shakti through myself.  Wow!! So, I have been on a few dates since the weekend and I haven't even kissed any of the men because of the strong imprint I received from both you and Caroline.  I'm fully committed to keeping my temple sacred and 'interviewing' men to make sure that they will treat me with as much if not more tenderness than you wise women showed me over the initiation weekend." Miwa Linehan, Boulder CO

“Since our weekend together - many of my closest and dearest friends are telling me that they see such a "Resolve" in my eyes. I would have never guessed in a million years that participating in this would heal some very traumatic emotional/physical and sexual abuse I survived as a child and teenager, let alone what I did to myself as a woman for years after that. I feel as though I went from a scared little girl (for the most part) to becoming a beautiful, loving, strong and worthy 38 year old woman.” Kristen

“I experienced this work first hand a couple of years ago & underwent a huge shift in how I saw myself, and the women in my life.  If you are needing  healing with the sister/mother dynamic this seminar will give you the results you have been longing for.  If you have been searching for a sisterhood to call your own & deeply bond with the feminine, Caroline & Joan will welcome you home!  It's time for us to find our voice, love our bodies, & nourish one another.”  Leah Alchin, Certified Tantra Educator
 
“I recognize you as forerunners in dedicating your lives for change in uniting the sexual and spiritual energies while envisioning this to be the "norm" once again in this world where we can let go of needing to be such an isolated "club" of studies for safety and support. I love you all for your courage and want to do you proud in opening to this in my own life more fully. You are that part of me in the Great Dream.” Susan Lash

“Throughout the years I have attended a number of healing and transformational immersives, but have never experienced one where the faculty so purely embodied the teachings and held the space in such a non-hierarchal way. MAHALO!” Gretl

“Thank you for the extra dosage of Divinity, a sweet nudge, push, and leap towards a deeper embodiment of the Goddess!” Sarah Irani

“Thank you for your courage and your dedication to love and support every woman who chooses to open and meet her true self.” Ann
