Erica brings deep love, care and magic to everything she does. She touches the hearts of the women she works with deeply, holding their lives, their gifts and potential as sacred. In doing so, she treats them as flowers ready to unfold, helping them to gently and courageously open to themselves, to a community of sisters and to the greater currents of life.

Bramble Rose, by Brenda Clews

By Brenda Clews, written at the DOWH 'BLOSSOMING' Retreat 

 

Bramble Rose

Petals edges
butterfly wings
blue powder.

Blossoming
from the hips.

Singing
hip-hop shaking
strutting
struggle with closed bud
of a cocoon.

Here to blossom.

A whole life
to unfurl.

Unexpected, that.

It never gets boring.

The unflown flying.

Petals in the wind, pink,
blue dusting to indigo.

This sun, this rain
never felt before.

Be the valley of women dancing.
Be the flowers, and the earth,
and the wind, and the moon.

Tattoo me on your skin.
Ink me in colours of the meadow,
a blossoming bramble
rose

As I dance the opulent
blossoming
of you.

I read a lot of posts, you know, on just this very topic; and many just leave me feeling as though so much is missing.  Not so with this post!  What a satisfying read this was!  So much so that I read it twice!  reverse phone lookup | pellet stoves | outdoor lighting

Spiralling down from this Submitted on February 12th, 2011 by joter

Spiralling down from this place of community, 350-030 we are led back to our essential centre, to our Self. Upon investigation, we find ourselves to be a little more grounded, more whole, and filled now with the love of the Divine and the women who surround us. We are, indeed, back Home. DANCE OUR WAY HOME™ is more than simply a 640-816 place to go and dance. It is a spiritual practice that begins as a solitary healing journey and then stretches out into the wider community, forging bonds and healing ties. Like ripples in a pond, this healing, transformative energy extends out into the larger society, so that as we work to heal ourselves and our relationships, our world heals right along with us. 640-822 In this way, VCP-410 DANCE OUR WAY HOME™ truly is the Divine healing through dance.
