ALL ACTS OF LOVE AND PLEASURE - Reclaiming Sacred Sexuality with DiAnna Ritola

Let's redefine and expand our definition of what it means to be a spiritual and sexual womon. We'll explore the harm done by patriarchy and male-centered religions and reclaim our Goddess-given right to pleasure, sensuality, and deep, down sexiness through movement, facilitated discussion, and sensual non-sexual touch exercises. Oh, yes, there will be take-home suggestions and lots of open talk about our bodies, our desires, and our loves.

FRITH WEAVING with Falcon River

From the ancestral folk of the northern European countries that are Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Germany, the word frith is one of the root words of the modern words for “friend” and “free,” and often translated as “peace.” Frith weaving is the ancient wisdom and practice of conscious community building with our family, our friends, the land wights, and the disir (the female ancestral line). It was understood that women were the frith weavers of their communities. We will explore the concept of frith weaving as a way to re-weave the connections between our families, communities, and our world.

The NEXT MEN’s WAR: Surviving--No, Thriving!--in Changing and Challenging Times with Ava

“U.S. and Britain believe the Ukraine war could last ten years …” --The Week newsmagazine, August, 2022. The history of men’s wars prove that women, children and animals always get the worst of it. US generals are now saying publicly that the Ukraine-Russia conflict could drag on for ten years--wreaking havoc on the masses. World events do affect us, obviously, but individuals do not have to become statistics. We are in the “Fourth Turning,” the era of “crisis,” but history also proves that no matter how bad things get, there is always that tiny percentage of people –not necessarily the richest--who somehow do okay, or even thrive. In this class, get Ava’s best metaphysical Goddess tips for being one of them … and doing well as a Dianic Amazon Queen-- no matter what modern money-making madness men are up to now.

PLANTS AND CHANTS FOR NERVOUS SYSTEM CONNECTION AND SOOTHING with Tracie Jones

Through humming, chanting, meditation, breath and connection to the Earth and her plants, we will learn how to soothe and nourish our vagus nerve so that we can recognize and move beyond the fight/flight responses of our Sympathetic nervous system or our freeze response of an overactive Parasympathetic nervous system so that we can enter into a more balanced Parasympathetic nervous system state which supports our resting and digesting. From this place we can be more deeply nourished and receive the love and care that is being offered to us and that we all deserve. There will be time to connect with plants and the opportunity to create something to take home with you so that you can continue to feel held, supported and connected to the radical act of the care and feeding of your nervous system.
