"If you are looking for spiritual growth and healing, this is the vehicle to begin your journey. Rhea is an excellent guide and delivers the wisdom of the Goddess passionately. She unlocks the doors through ritual, celebration and inspirational lecture and dialogue and meets each participant where they live." ~ Holly K., workshop participant
Inner Fire workshops are offered seasonally near the equinoxes and solstices. Using meditation, storytelling and guided writing exercises, this series seeks to connect people more fully with the energy of each season in order to imbue our daily lives with magic and purpose. Inner Fire workshops urge us toward discovering our inherent creativity, our wholeness, and an expanded sense of self.
To these workshops, I bring my extensive training and work in earth-based spirituality. I bring the teachings of ancient traditions into our modern times, as we re-discover the power of the Divine and the natural relationships we humans can have with the larger world of Spirit and Nature.
I believe that the practices and ideas held in these teachings can be woven into a variety of other faith paths and life philosophies. But inherent in the Inner Fire series is a deep respect for the Earth and the knowledge that our personal well-being and unfolding is inextricably linked with the health of our planet.
Next Inner Fire Workshop: Celebrate the Winter Solstice on December 18, 1:00-5:00PM at the Garden Sanctuary. Click here to find out more.
Through these workshops, we can wake up to the parts we each have to play in the world. We can restore our natural creativity and sense of connection. We can find stories, myths, and practices that help us make sense of the trials and challenges we face both personally and globally.
Each workshop includes personal writing sessions based on the themes of the seasonal energy. We employ the tools of guided visualization, storytelling, ritual and discussion to help us see the ways these themes play out in our lives and how we can tap into the power of the season to make positive changes.
Workshops are held close to the date of each seasonal holiday:
Spring Equinox: March 20-21 Summer Solstice: June 20-21 Autumn Equinox: September 22-23 Winter Solstice: December 21-22
