This is the Vividly Woman Initiation weekend. As we draw wisdom through us, body, mind & soul, the circle deepens to become a spiral, truth emerging, rising and dancing in ever dynamic expression. We journey together in the 5-Stages of VividExistence through dance, circle processes and creative ritual in nature. Embrace the wisdom of nature, dance your own sensual connection and open your heart to the circle of life.

Vividly Woman Leaders Circle

The Vividly Woman Leader is a Passion Priestess.  She radiates the  essence of her being in the face of all odds. She naturally exudes  the truths that she stands for and has the courage to  stubbornly  persist. She is lead by her passion and celebrates sensually. Praise

The VW Leadership training is a feminine process, a nurture-through  event versus the typical masculine process, break-through event. In  this training, we attend to and honour our authentic felt sense  boundaries, knowing that more is not necessarily better, and that for change and healing to be sustained, it must be integrated. The  process must consist of authentic steps forward rather than a giant  leap into self betraying behavior. In other words, Care vs Catharsis.  Integration is an essential element of the nurture-through  experience, allowing sustained and tangible results.

Addressing the 3 areas of the body where we store and suppress our  power and vital life force energy, the pelvis (sexual center), chest  (heart center) and head (center of self and divine expression), we  create sacred space to nurture these centers to open and activate, freeing and making available previously withheld vital sources of  life energy. Dancing into a mature, radiant, expression of  leadership, the Vividly Woman Leader cares for herself in the process  of emerging, expanding and ultimately expressing the power, promise  and prosperity of the Divine Feminine!

In this full 4 and 1/2 day gathering, facilitated by Leela and guest  teachers, masters in their field, a small group of Vividly Woman  leaders will meet to resource, share, risk, play and grow more deeply  into the truth of who we truly are, witnessing and supporting each  other and ourselves. Together we herald the new paradigm of  leadership, in the footsteps of the spiritual activist initiatives,  of the brilliant sisters who have danced before us.
