Your One Wild and Precious Life: A Deepening Gathering for Women

For women.

Jean Shinoda Bolen brings myths, goddess archetypes, dreams, and the sacred feminine to life. If you are contemplating or facing a life transition—in relationship, work, motherhood, health, menopause, a life-threatening illness, or other major decision—Jean invites you to sit with Hecate, archetype of the wise woman, medium, midwife, and goddess of the crossroad.

Humankind and the planet are also approaching a crossroad. This year may truly be a transition time for patriarchy, the outcome of which may depend on women. The phases of the moon and the maiden-mother-crone aspects of the Great Goddess whose worship preceded patriarchal gods are powerful metaphors.

Through storytelling, insights, guided meditation, self-reflection, and in sacred circles, come share and learn from one another, reconnect with archetypal sources of meaning and creativity, and acknowledge what is true for you. Music and poetry add to this exploration of what the poet Mary Oliver called “your one wild and precious life.”
