Rite for Reconsecrating Our Womanhood

Ancient images of the Sacred Feminine illustrate a ritual of power-centering gestures that enact a woman-affirming story of creation and the story of the heroine's journey into wholeness. Drawn from yoga and other movement arts, these exercises are designed to cultivate the body's center — what the Japanese call hara — as the site of our soul-power. They stimulate creativity, build confidence, and engender a sense of life purpose. They awaken the profound wisdom and power of woman-being, deepening your connection to the Sacred Feminine dwelling within you. These patterns of movement and breath recall the rites our ancestors practiced to enhance the pro-creative power they knew to be centered within their bellies. Practicing these patterns now enables us to know ourselves as the gutsy women we already are, expressing our pro-creative power in any dimension we choose — in realms of personal, family, community, and planetary healing.
