Feminine Mysticism 2018
The Secrets of the Feminine
SEMINAR with
ANGELA FISCHER
August 3 – August 5, 2018
It is time to come down from the mountains.
To bring the beautiful clarity, the vastness of the sky,
deep into the valleys
where life is waiting.
– Angela Fischer (from The Unknown She)
The mysteries of the Feminine have been hidden for a long time.
They are waiting for us to recognize and live them again, since in present times, life is threatened with being deprived of its inner light and all of its sacredness.
What concerns us is the spiritual power of the Feminine, the feminine wisdom about life and creation, the knowing of how matter and spirit come together, how soul and body are connected.
These secrets are not forever buried under the debris of the ancient priestesses’ temples, they are also lying dormant, deep in the hidden corners of our consciousness and in the spiritual bodies and cells of every woman.
Uncovering and reviving these mysteries, we are walking a fine line. Only with an attentive attitude of loving devotion and humility, but also with the fearlessness of a heart that is wide awake can we keep the alignment between the chasms on both sides: power drives of the ego and spiritual illusions on one side, and disheartenment and anxious conformity on the other side.
Meditation and spiritual practice offer both the foundation and the guidance on this journey.
About the Retreats “Feminine Mysticism”:
Once a year, we extend an invitation to a weekend on „Feminine Mysticism“. In the outer form of a seminar, this event offers an open forum for seekers, wayfarers, and mystics from all traditions, who together would like to take part in the evolvement of a living and genuine feminine spirituality and to rekindle it in the mystical traditions.
For many years, the thread that weaves through our work and brings us together, each year anew, is the serious interest in a spiritual work for the world and the increasingly necessary contribution of the feminine. In creative exchange and in respect for the different paths, we share our experiences and our visions and deeply align with the essence which we all have in common. In doing so, we bring to life a web of interconnectedness, which pervades each one of us and all of creation. A space is being opened, where the feminine – in women and men, and working together with the masculine – can sense her breath and unfold her potential again.
In addition to the joint seminar activities, which are silent meditation, talks and discussion, dream work and small exercises, having together an open-air dinner in a beautiful garden on Saturday evening has become a central and favoured part of our retreats on Feminine Mysticism.
We enjoy diversity on all levels and welcome participants from different spiritual and mystical traditions. There are no particular requirements to participating. This is not exclusively a women’s retreat; it’s open for both women and men, though the majority of the gatherings are women.
