School of the Feminine Divine

Being a student of The School of The Feminine Divine has been a deep, lifechanging experience. Healing and finding my true passions and living this.I am more connected with the nature, others and myself, also my inner and outer worlds. In the past I felt a division between my 'spiritual' and 'everyday' life, I now experience harmony and wholism, a melding of these. Transformative in the most positive sense.

The retreats have been a precious opportunity for healing, remembering and recovering my essential self.

Mentoring I have received has been nurturing, empowering and of great wisdom.

This beautiful School is truly a School of Heart, for me I have been gently awakened with Beauty, Grace, Love and Joy. I would encourage anyone that is drawn, to follow the call.

Finding the School of the Feminine Divine has been life changing for me – on all levels. I have been filled with so many wonderful feelings.

Life has thrown many hurdles at me since I began the school in June – but looking back I am so thankful that I’ve had the teachings from the school to help me get through these obstacles.

I am rediscovering myself. As a wife and mother to 3 boys, without realising it, somewhere along the line I had forgotten how to be a woman. I had fallen into my masculine surroundings and was trying to please everyone – to fix everything. But what about me? Who am I? These are questions I have begun to ask, and I am surprised to find the answers that are coming up. I am discovering my creative side – something I didn’t even think was in me. I have begun to celebrate being a woman – showing my feminine side, living more in balance.

By joining this school I have committed to taking the time for myself to rediscover me. This in turn has already made me a better Mum and a better wife and most importantly a happier, more secure person with myself. Learning to live in my centre and to appreciate all the sacred gifts I have around me. How cool is that!

I attended my first retreat in October 2008 and was privileged to be part of a very special group of ladies. I was able to see people graduating from the 3 year course, to see how far they had grown from their beginnings. To also meet other woman in their first year like myself. How amazing to see how we are all so different and how we all take something completely different out of our teachings. But we are all joined on a bigger, deeper level. We all share the same fears, anxieties and difficulties, and in turn we are all growing as women. What a beautiful rich experience that was for me. I have never felt so much love and support from people I had never met before. It was a beautiful experience, one too hard to put into words. It was a time I will truly treasure!

The school has helped me to look within and search for me. What a wonderful sacred journey I have begun. I am looking forward to the 2nd semester. Bring it on.

The invitation for joining the school of the Feminine Divine came to me about a year ago and I am grateful for this opportunity.

When I looked at the guidelines for the first semester I was filled with wonder, expectations and doubt. What I read was so out of the square of how I had been brought up and lived my life, this filled me with excitement and anticipation.

Having completed this first semester of the school, I can say that every week was like a new experience in my life and there were so many ‘aha’ moments of things that I had known deep inside but not brought into my presence. I can feel a slow awakening of my senses, of my whole being.

I have learned that is it is ok to work at my own pace with my understanding as it is now and not feel that I have to keep up with everyone else to fulfill the work of the semester. It is a great feeling to know that understanding will manifest itself when the right time comes.

I know that if I set the intent, anything is possible, so the living with intent is what I now want to work on.

Living in the ‘now’ and blessing the happenings of the day is one aspect I want to integrate in my life.

I thoroughly enjoyed the reading materials for the work we were doing and found myself reading the books more than once because every time there was some new understanding.

Meditation and journal writing was something new to me and still takes effort to do at times. The weekly medicine wheels show me the importance the journaling has, as it will bring back happenings in life that are so easily forgotten or pushed out of our minds.

Each student has a mentor and every two weeks there is a session with this mentor and this was another wonderful experience for me as the sessions were a time when I got feedback of my work, could ask questions, was encouraged to keep going. A time when I was feeling wrapped up in love and acceptance.

In October we had a retreat to deepen our learning and getting together with women from all stages of the school. This was a wonderful experience as it gave us insight of the learning the other students had in the School of the Feminine Divine.

I love this school as it encourages me to look inside my life and learn to accept and bless my experiences at a deeper level than I ever had before. I feel truly blessed.
