Return to the Mother summit starting in less than 24 hours

It is a bit difficult to remain focused when something that you have been steadily working towards for the last six plus months is finally going to be made freely available to the world.

Of course, I am talking about my RETURN TO THE MOTHER online summit.

I was reminder of the late Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, who once said that people get sick because they are alienated from Mother Earth, that they have forgotten that they are on Mother Earth, and that they have a body given to them by Mother Earth.

Is that not what has been happening to us?

Mother Earth – our Mother – the one who birthed all of creation.  Where is she in your life?

Is there a connection between how we treat our planet and the rejection of the Divine Feminine from our Soul Consciousness?

For this reason I have gathered together speakers from all around the world will share their thoughts and insights into this question and other interconnecting threads:

 🌹  Return to the Mother 🌹
Discussions about the Divine Feminine, Mother Earth and Goddess Consciousness

A five-day online summit that will be commencing: Sunday, 24 November 2024 (America & Europe) or Monday, 25 November 2024 (Australia & New Zealand)

Click here to join now (free)! 

🌹 Explore the connection between Gaia (Earth) consciousness and the Divine Feminine.

🌹 Understand the importance of the feminine archetype.

🌹 Consider the similarities of how Mother Earth and women are treated in modern society.

🌹 Investigate whether the devaluation of anything feminine emerged out of the removal and subsequent absence of the Goddess or Divine Feminine from many of the world’s religions

🌹 Ask ourselves why, regardless of gender identification, it is essential for all of us move from patriarchal oppression to matrifocal wholeness.

What Pluto moving into Aquarius means for us

 On Tuesday, 19 November 2024 Pluto will finally move into Aquarius where it will remain for the next 40 years. Named after the Roman Lord of the Underworld, death and of riches, Pluto is our furthest reaching planet, one associated with deep, soul level transformation on a collective level as opposed to an individual level.

What does this mean? Can events from the past provide any insight as to what we may be able to expect?

Why we need to Return to the Mother

While our external world appears to be in much chaos and turmoil, of pain and heartache, there is a deep richness of love, compassion, hope and beauty can still be found.

Chinese philosopher, Lao Tsu, reminds us, when we remember that we too are part of nature (Mother Earth), and we embrace the Divine Feminine back into our spiritual practices we are able to reconnect to that valley spirit that resides within.

More so than ever, we need to return to the "Mother" - regardless of whether it is the divine feminine, Mother Earth (Gaia), Goddess consciousness, or even turning to nature to learn from our other co-inhabitants of this planet that we live on.

For these reasons and more), I have created the RETURN TO THE MOTHER online summit, that will be commencing Monday, 25 November (or Sunday evening, 24 November if you live in America & Europe).

The RETURN TO THE MOTHER summit is is a free event, consisting of some 27 presenters and all you need to do is to register here: www.return-to-the-mother.com

There is an option to upgrade to unlimited lifetime access where 20% of all monies received will be donated to The Global Women's Project.

Full Moon in Capricorn (June)

On Saturday, 22 June 2024 at 10:37am ACST we will have a full moon at 1° 07’ of the astrological sign of Capricorn, asking us to check in with respect to the plans or goals we set at the start of the year.

This full moon also is taking place just after the solstice, so it might be a good time to pause and consider the direction in which you want to head in for the remaining half of 2024.

Clink on the image below to be taken to my update about this full moon:

If you are located in Adelaide and you would like to join likeminded people who will be gathering under the lunar rays, you are welcome to join us at Largs Bay on Friday evening from 7pm.  More details about these Full Moon Gatherings can be found by clicking on the image below:

Free Magazine - MoonScape is now available

 

Just in time for the solstice, the third edition of the ezine, MOONSCAPE, is now available.

This is a free magazine put together by my publisher, Moon Books, and filled with articles written by many Moon Book authors including myself.

Just a note - as my publisher is based in England, the theme for this magazine is the summer solstice, but still it is a great read, and do I mention it is free?

You can access MOONSCAPE here.

New Moon in Gemini (June 2024)

On Thursday, 6 June at 10:07pm Australian Central Standard Time we will have a New Moon at 16° 17’ of the astrological sign of Gemini. Jupiter, Mercury and Venus are also in Gemini, with Venus being conjunct with the sun and moon.

While Gemini can be a rather activate and chatty sign, this moon will be squaring Saturn, the Lord of Time, slowing down before it stations retrograde towards the end of the month, as well as squaring Neptune, both of which are in Pisces. This slowing down could be welcomed especially if you find yourself too caught up in your mental processes, your head, and need to take time to come back to what your body and intuition is trying to tell you.

While I am not an astrologer, I have put together some information from the astrologers that I do follow in order to provide some insight into what this conjunction could mean.  You can find that video on my YouTube channel by clicking on the image below:

Life is for Joyful Empowerment

I mentioned last week that I was going to appear on Joyful Empowerment podcast with Joanne Gajewski that took place on Wednesday, 22 May 2024 (or Thursday, 23 May 2024 here in South Australia).

During our session, we chatted about all manner of things, including my own journey where I realised the importance that my own personal spiritual belief formed, and how it continues to shape my life.

During her show, Joanne chats with an array of speakers offering inspiration and empowerment in order to take life to new heights.  Joanne herself is a gifted speaker, known for helping people tap into their innermost potential and find their true passion in life.

Exploring the Elements of Witchcraft

The ancient Greeks referred to the four elements as being the building blocks of the universe. Even today, Earth, Air, Fire and Water are still considered to be the foundations upon which all magics are based. Yet, in our modern world, they are often taken for granted.

In this experiential gathering, learn how to connect with each of these building blocks on a deeper, more intimate level in order to enhance your own spiritual practice. 

Explore their magical realms of enchantment and the various ways in such they can manifest on the physical earth plane.

Discover how to utilise the unique power of each element within your own magical circles and rites.

If you are seeking to deepen your understanding of magick, ritual and contemporary witchcraft, then you are invited to join us by Gathering Around the Cauldron as we create a place of community and healing through connect back to the Sacred.

Venue: Carpe Diem, 158, Commercial Road, Port Adelaide
Time: 12 noon to 3pm
