Lawrence Women’s Temple
Monthly Gathering with Jennifer Welch
Lawrence Women’s Temple is a sacred space that we create for ourselves and our sisters when we come together with a shared intention of spiritual awakening. In Temple, we do not sit around and talk about what we think embodied awakening is, instead we practice stepping directly into a real, lived awakening as we move our awareness from the mental stories we tell ourselves about who we are in the world, into our breath, our bodies and the felt sense of the moment as it arises and moves through us. In Temple, we give ourselves time and space to be breathed and moved by the feminine waters within.
A Taste of our Temple Practices
- Entering deeper into our divine female bodies, our hips, yonis and breasts, through dance, stretching, and free flow of movement.
- Becoming one body of female divine essence through touch, dance and movement and spontaneous flow of the moment. (This practice is to open our bodies to more of the divine feminine energy and receive nourishment from each other, strengthening, relaxing, healing and filling up our own cups).
- Seeing deeply into each other, seeing each woman’s beauty, gifts, most true expression, essence, soul colors and loving each flavor of the divine feminine. Sharing what we see in each woman.
- Pleasure as a way to presence. Women are made for pleasure and we enjoy that through feeding each other strawberries, smelling incredible flowers, rubbing on yummy oils or any other fun, juicy way we can think of.
- Feeling all the way to essence, allowing expression of how deeply we feel, being in a free flow of presence with each other, sharing our emotions through bodily and voice expression and creating beauty through that.
- Sharing our gifts in the circle.
- Embodying the different aspects of the divine feminine, like Kali, Tara, the Mother, and Aphrodite etc. Supporting each other in expressing qualities we may hide.
- Prayer & Gratitude, allowing and opening up to our deepest devotion.
The 2019/2020 season will be an open circle, so you can attend once, twice or all eight times that we meet.
Lawrence Women’s Temple is based on the work of Chameli Ardagh and Awakening Women Institute. Much of our practice is based on Chameli’s work.
PLEASE NOTE – The Women’s temple is not a therapy or a support group. It is a space where we come to mirror, celebrate and empower each other. A space where we can drop our masks, and let the beauty of our authentic face be seen in all its glory and pain, passion and vulnerability. In our Women’s temple, we meet beyond the personal, and in this expanded meeting the collective feminine as well as the personal feminine is healed and celebrated.
If these practices speak to you, we would love to have you join us in circle. If you have any additional questions, please contact me at 785-760-7259.
