An Invitation for Lightworkers

How do we help the earth heal itself?
How does awakening to the Divine feminine become nurtured within each of us?
Where can we go to retreat, to nourish our souls, our minds, our hearts, our bodies...to reflect, rejuvinate and bring Divine healing in and through to help the earth heal?

The awakened wisdom of the Divine feminine is here on earth now. It has been a long time coming. How we choose to live our lives is crucial if we are to evolve beyond the ego-based polarities that tie humanity to suffering in its myriad forms. Choice is still free and alive within each of us. By making the choice again and again to lead a life in tune with spirit, in tune with the sacred feminine, in tune with the earth, in tune with our inner truth ~ we change ourselves and the world in both small and great ways. We heal. We recalibrate. We liberate ourselves and those around us. And in the process, we begin to live life of compassion, joy and love.

A seedling idea began germinating in 1974 at the age of 13, following the death of my mother. Spending abundant time in nature, images and ideas of a village that was a kind of sanctuary ~ off the beaten path, slightly wild, filled with fruit and vegetables of all kinds...splashing streams of clean spring water in which fish flourished, availing themselves as nourishment when needed. The purpose of this village was never really clear until May 13, 2010. I realized that all the work I had done to prepare myself for 'something' ~ all the amazing energy spent daughter-raising, loving, working, sending myself back to school for a degree in conservation management, cultivating certifications in Waldorf teacher training, integrative arts, permaculture, leadership ecology; and all the writing ~ journalling and tracking of my own personal spiritual evolution and healing journey over three decades ~ suddenly and quietly culminated in the realization of what my journey has all been for ~ to bring healing and fruition back to the earth through the bearers of healing and higher consciousness.

And so, my partner and I, along with our daughter and a few close friends, along are embarked on a mission ~ to locate a geographically resonant place in France that will become the home of Sanctuary Village Retreat.

Today, we are researching, connecting, and preparing for this sacred journey that is to come. To tune up our Divining hearts to those who are inspired to contribute in a myriad of possible ways. To become a collaborative soul in this soul-inspired undertaking, kindly contact me through this blog. Your love, support and ideas are all necessary ingredients to a magical outcome.

Namaste,

Catherine
