Wisdom through story-telling

As women, we teach and pass on our wisdom through story, as all the women before us did. Story is one of the strongest containers for pain, joy, wisdom, fear and love. During the four weeks I listened to many stories and told many. To become whole, body and soul, to live joyfully in the sorrows of the world we need to depart from the safety of our beliefs, to enter the wilderness, the cave. We need to leave the old life without any promise of the new. We need to spend time alone, to become who we are destined to be and we need help along the way. I have been guided by the Goddess and “Feel her blessings all around me”. I am blessed.
