Find resilience and hope in the Divine Feminine energies in the Sacred Rose Mandala

by

Where do you turn for solace… strength… hope?

From where do you draw resilience and compassion for yourself and others, and the courage and perseverance to navigate the challenges and constant changes life brings?

For centuries, seekers and laypeople alike have sought wisdom, healing, and refuge in the loving embrace and powerful teachings of Mary Magdalene — the Sacred Mother of the Divine Feminine with her all-encompassing, life-affirming, and life-evolving archetypal energies.

Through her powerful transformative energies, the stories of her life, and the gnostic practices she’s inspired, the Magdalene provides a balm for these times of uncertainty for easing our fear, anxiety, trauma, and grief. She uplifts and inspires us in the face of hopelessness, spiritual depletion, and a lost sense of Self. 

Psychotherapist Elayne Kalila Doughty, the founder of the Priestess Presence Temple, will help you discover how to deepen your spiritual journey by following the Way of the Rose — a sacred, Magdalene-inspired, love-led path to awakening and rebirth where you can experience the opening of your heart and unfurling of your feminine spirituality.

Mary Magdalene

During this heart-opening online workshop, you’ll:

  • Discover Magdalene’s Way of the Rose as a model for consciously living and dying, enabling you to navigate challenges and change with love, resilience, hope, and a creative spirit
  • Learn the “faces” and “petals” of the Magdalene represented in the Sacred Rose Mandala — and how they can guide you in the metamorphosis we are each being called to undergo in these times
  • Experience a guided visualization to connect with The Red Maven and discover “seeds” of possibility within you and a potentiality that breeds groundedness, calm, and hope for the future
  • Meet The Red Maven, the face of Mary Magdalene representative of the void (or seed), and what she teaches us about being with the darkness of the unknown — the fecund creative soil that lives within each of us
  • Discover the sacred art of anointing as practiced by Mary Magdalene — and the divine consciousness and healing declaration anointing oils hold

The many “faces” and transformative energies of Mary Magdalene are encoded in the petals of the Sacred Rose Mandala: The Red Maven (void and seed); The High Priestess (stem and bud); The Sovereign Queen (waxing bloom); The Rosa Mystica (full bloom); The Ecstatic Alchemist (fragrant bloom); The Death Maiden (rosehip); and The Sophia (everlasting bloom).

Within the petals of the mandala, you’ll find the impetus for the perennial self-transformations life demands — for shedding the old, reseeding, reimagining, growing, and blooming anew in the winds of its transitory nature.

The Global Garden Painted Picnic Bench

by

Along with other artists, I will be painting one of five picnic benches which will be placed outside on the lawn at the Norfolk Arts Centre in downtown Simcoe for the ‘Celebrate Simcoe: The Global Garden’ project.

“This is a fun spin on the fact that Simcoe is located in Norfolk County, which has long been nicknamed Ontario’s Garden. Simcoe has a distinctive international culture, which this project aims to highlight. 

Every year, approximately five thousand seasonal workers come to the community from outside the country – mainly Jamaica, Mexico, and Trinidad and Tobago – to work on large fruit and vegetable farms. Typically, on the weekends, the workers come downtown to shop, eat, and socialize. The atmosphere on ‘Town Nights’ is unique, and we want to amplify this experience by adding artwork that celebrates the diversity of the community. Gradually, the murals and picnic table art will transform Simcoe into a true ‘Global Garden’, enhancing the visual landscape for residents & visitors. “

young & free press

The look I want to create is similar to stained glass or mosaic tiling. When I think of agriculture, our pollinators come to mind, our essential bees and butterflies. On a symbolic level, butterflies represent metamorphosis and freedom. The bees are a symbol of community, they work hard together in unity. The seat parts of the bench will include mosaic curved pathways. This illustrates our travels and our life journeys. This also honours the migrant workers, their seasonal voyages and celebrates their colourful cultures.

September 7th, 2021
The custom made picnic table was delivered to me and I have it set up to paint in my garage. The tables were sourced locally through Henderson Recreation Equipment Ltd. and feature galvanized frames and wood tops and seats. Very heavy!

Here’s my painting process. Thanks to Graphenstone paint for the base colours Paraiba (light blue), Fruity Wendy (bright red) and Yas (primary yellow). After the base colours, I drew on the details of bees and butterflies with Posca paint pens. I continued with multiple layers and blending with the paint pens. After the paint was completely dry, I applied multiple coats of a Varathane clear coat spray varnish.

Be guided in a 10-minute healing shamanic journey to a beautiful place in nature

by

How are you faring these days… physically… emotionally… spiritually?

If we look deeply and are honest with ourselves, many of us will concede that there’s more for us to navigate, reflect on, and help change NOW than there was over a year ago — when the world shut down to stop the spread of the pandemic. 

Yet, our attitudes, thoughts, and actions may be creating negative energy within and around us, as well as perpetuating the illusion that we are all separate from one another.

Now, more than ever, world-renowned shamanism teacher Sandra Ingerman stresses that we need to cultivate “spiritual immunity” — the state in which we optimize our health, awareness, and capacity to help support those around us, the Earth, and ourselves.

In a powerful hour with Sandra, you’ll discover spiritual immunity as the path out of separateness, chaos, and darkness, and into a place of unity, love, light, and kindness. A path that she sees as the only way forward in these times.

You can register here for Shamanic Practices to Cultivate Spiritual Immunity For Yourself & the World: Access the Medicine of the Earth to Transmute Negative Energy, Heal Divides & Foster Wellbeing: https://shiftnetwork.infusionsoft.com/go/sp/a23547

During this complimentary online workshop, you’ll:

  • Discover the importance of cultivating spiritual immunity for the health of our society, the planet, and your wellbeing
  • Learn about the shamanic Medicine of the Earth and how it can help us heal divides and transmute negative energies in our communities, families, and within ourselves
  • Be guided in a 10-minute shamanic journey to a beautiful place in nature to reflect on your thoughts about others, and if and how you will transform these thoughts — for your inner peace and healing and for theirs
  • Learn daily practices to catch yourself having toxic thoughts (of anger, betrayal, grief, or fear) and transmute them into positive, healing energy — for yourself and the world
  • Explore the many reasons shamanic journeys — to the future and back to the ancestors — can give us essential wisdom for navigating our present crises

You’ll learn about ancient shamanic teachings known as the Medicine of the Earth, which boost your spiritual immunity through perspectives and practices that enable you to see and transform your projections on others — and transmute negative energies created by lack of awareness, understanding, and unwise thoughts and words.

These skills can help you cultivate resilience, compassion, and a state of wellbeing so you can stay grounded and open-hearted in difficult times.

Sandra will also share how to look to the descendants and ancestors for wisdom on living in peace and caring for the planet in these tumultuous times.
