Goddess Courses, Events and GroupsI'm not writing to plug my own Goddess Courses as I'm not a workshop leader. Instead you will find information about some of the workshops and events that are available to help you connect with the Goddess within. I have had the great fortune to have met several of these workshop leaders who have enriched my life in many different ways. This section also includes information on workshops that aim to empower woman.
Goddess Courses and WorkshopsIn the Heart of the Goddess: A comprehensive three year Goddess course taught by Kathy Jones and Ren Chapman. The teachings are based on the native Goddesses of Britain with special emphasis on those associated with the magical surroundings of Glastonbury.

TEL: 01458 833933 Goddess Mythology, Women's Spirituality, and Ecofeminism: This looks like a fascinating Goddess course run by Athabasca University in Canada. The synopsis of the course describes it as the study of "the evolution, fragmentation and recreation of spiritual traditions, myths and legends associated with the goddess.” Exploring “the symbolic significance of female divinity and the impact of its loss on all aspects of Western culture. By critically reflecting on how spiritual symbols have been used historically to empower and disempower women." It also studies how the modern Goddess movement has influenced the environmental movement. Goddess Within: This two day Goddess workshop includes an introduction to the history of the Goddess and the Mother, Maiden and Crone Goddess Archetypes. Its aim is to teach "practical ways to bring the Goddess into your life." Contact Alexandra Chaloner at Goddess Within at Healing Hands, 25 Broad Lane, Moldgreen, Huddersfield, HD5 9BX.

Courses For Empowing WomanWoman Wild and Still:taught from a shamanic perspective, this course is a journey through the stages of a woman's life from childhood, adolescence and motherhood to being the enchantress and the wise woman. This course is on my wish list as I have been a participant on other workshops lead by Dawn Russell and Lorraine Grayston. They have both deeply influenced my life and my connection with the divine feminine. For more information follow this link to Celebrating Woman Bloom Retreats: The workshops run by Lynne Franks teach "economic empowerment, sustainable business practices and community leadership." They are held in Deia, Mallorca which provided Robert Graves with the inspiration for his book the White Goddess. Lynne Franks has the ability to inspire and empower women to reach their full potential through her instinctive understanding of the power of the feminine. Both Deia and Lynne Franks have a special place in my heart as they introduced me to the power of the Goddess.
