Azul and Donna with the support of a great community SOULand Pilgrimage San Luis Obispo:http://www.souland.org/california-feb-2018.html SOULand:www.souland.org So many Women have woven, alchemise and tempered me into who I am today. I long to honour and thank you by weaving you a gratitude WomBelt over the next 13 months. I have started this Gratitude Weaving with my mother who took her WomBelt 42 days ago for the crossing of her soul to the ancestors' shore. Why wait for an obituary to say thank you... There are so many women who my gratitude warmly meets. I will choose the 13 who appear immediately and with whom I have travelled for a while. Thank you dear 13 for the Home Coming and Initiations (some rough ones) you all offered in your unique ways through your vulnerability, strength, truth, kindness, words, prayers, challenges, imagination, ceremonies, courage, rough weathers, trust, vision, wisdom, enwilding, walking sticks, soul voice, connections and beauty.... In naming I do not wish to exclude the unnamed ones. I do need a frame to weave from <3 1- my mother France 2- Joanna Macy 3- WindEagle Kinney-Linton 4 -Pat McCabe 5 - Mary Oliver 6- Pema Chodron 7- Carolyn Hillyer Seventh Wave Music: Nigel Shaw & Carolyn Hillyer 8 - Jewels Wingfield 9 - Gina Holland 10 - Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes 11 - Eve Ensler 12 - Lyla June Johnston 13 - Clare Dubois If you want to know more about WomBelt: 'Weaving Women back into Matter' here is the link to my website: http://www.souland.org/wombelt.html Blessings and bird songs .
