Temple of the Feminine Arts
with Carol, Dhyana

Nurture yourself in the forgotten feminine ways which are resurfacing from the deep seeded womb. Share this luscious time of sisterhood as we lovingly restore ourselves in an immersion of beauty, grace and Womb Awakening ritual.

Working with the healing power of ritual we soothe our body to release stress, melt contraction and heal trauma. Awaken your Inner Priestess to rest in the feminine dimension of consciousness and connect with ancient practices that have been passed down for generations through lineages of wise-women.

When we open to this temple energy, we awaken our own priestess consciousness, and we are able to download all these memories and wisdom and knowledge that was destroyed on paper but lives on within our own DNA.

Tibetan Womb Pulsing- Awakening the Wild Magdalene Heart and Womb
Saturday, March 9, 2-6pm
ABC Sanctuary
638 East 6th Street, NYC
with CarolMarie, hosted by Trinity of the Dancing Path

Womb Pulsing is a gentle yet powerful non-sexual method to move massive amounts of energy and awaken the shakti energy lines of your womb and body. An ancient technique from the lineage of Tibetan Khandros and Dakinis, it originates from pre-patriarchal times when women were leaders and shamans. It is a way to attune to the creative power and wisdom of your womb and her natural cycles.

Tibetan womb pulsing aims to awaken the pulse of life again and has been called CPR for the womb.

The many benefits include:

Healing Endometriosis
menstrual issues or pelvic stagnation
Increasing Libido and sexual pleasure
Boosting self esteem and personal power
Promoting fertility and feminine vibrancy
Catalyzing sexual awakening and ecstatic states
Healing sexual trauma and shutdown

What happens during Womb Pulsing-
The practice is performed fully clothed. You work with a partner. You can work with a friend you come with or with a woman you meet at the workshop. While receiving you lie down and your partner gently pulses your womb right above your pubic bone (on your belly) in either a straddled position with her root or with her hand. The receiver lets the giver know what tempo and pressure she would like and communication is encouraged during the entire process.

Receive and give shaktipat from the womb, the source of shakti, to clear our energy, awaken to the heartbeat of our womb and hara, our connection with all life. As we come back into harmony with that heartbeat, we dissolve the scars of our wounds and shift our energy into expansive integrated alignment. We wake the body up to the pulse of life and offer this womb blessing as a balm to the world.

With SO much energy swirling and moving and shifting our foundations we invite you to make the time to deeply let it all go.

Womb Pulsing is a gentle yet powerful method to move massive amounts of energy and awaken the shakti energy lines of your womb and body. Once you have experienced trauma your body somatically encodes that trauma in your body. Womb pulsing allows you to go back into the somatic structure of the womb and pelvis to release trauma and reweave the connections.

An ancient technique from the lineage of Tibetan khandros and Dakinis, it originates from pre-patriarchal times when women were leaders and shamans. It is a way attune to the creative power and wisdom of your womb and her natural cycles. This exercise works equally well for men, to ground and liberate the essence of who you are.

Womb Pulsing is also a shamanic journey which allows you to enter the dreamtime for healing. As your body begins to release energetic blocks in the muscles and chi lines, cellular memory is unleashed and you may gain insights regarding your physical habits - you may even experience visions from other lifetimes and retrieve any power you lost there. Tibetan womb pulsing aims to awaken the pulse of life again and has been called CPR for the womb.

The beautiful and sensual Breast-Heart Radiance practice opens our heart chakra. It is such a beautiful way to nurture this energy center. By tending to ourselves in this way we attune to the inward flow of loving ourselves and allow the heart to receive this tenderness, this kindness we offer to ourselves. Opening to receive love then allows our radiance to shine outward and flow into the universe. This opening allows our love to touch the people around us.

By doing these two practices together we connect our soft feminine radiance to our wild, creative power. With love guiding our power we act in the world in a way that supports all life. With our power fueling our outward flow of love, we add strength to the power of our love. When we activate, clear and connect these energy portals we align ourselves with creation itself and can birth anything into being with loving intention and fierce conviction.

Weave a connection between the heart and the womb, between the dragon and the dove. Reclaim your freedom with the wild red river of womb pulsing; connect to the divine with the soft white river of the heart radiance.

This workshop is not for women who are pregnant or those who have had recent back or abdominal surgery. Women with cysts and fibroids can participate; speak to Carol privately if you feel unsure.

Womb Pulsing is a beautiful practice to do with your beloved. Couples are very much welcomed to join the workshop.

Friday October 6 - Sunday October 8
*Free Online Immersion*

"As women rise into their power, we face all that once held us down."
- Seren Bertrand

I offer this invitation with love and devotion to life, as a gift to you and to the world...

When you make the time and dare to heal yourself, when you uncover and reclaim your hidden divine energy, you create a doorway, and opening through which the vortex of primordial creation will send ecstatic healing waves of love, from the epicenter of your womb out into the universe, healing us all.

As the veil between worlds begin to thin this October, let us take a 3-day pilgrimage into the heart of the womb that holds the memories and keys to much of the core trauma wishing to be released from our collective Feminine unconscious. Journey shamanically through the energy gates of your womb, using sound and vocalized exhalations to release old energies and reclaim your voice and power. Together, we will journey to receive the healing transmissions that await us as we return to the lost divine aspects of our feminine power that have been hidden behind the shadows at the edges of our consciousness.

Do you dare to travel this deeply, beneath the surface of your existence? To begin to examine the core mother wound and sister wound that lives in each of us, encoded in our DNA and imprinted upon the collective psyche. If you’ve come this far, I encourage you to take another step and then another. We hold hands and travel this path together.

You are not alone...

Rage, subtle competition, a pang of jealousy, body shaming, staying silent- these are the scraps left over from the patriarchal mayhem that stretched from the times of ancient Egypt and Atlantis to the times of witch trials and Barbie dolls.

In this journey, I invite you to create a safe space to explore the shadows and embody your true gifts, so that you can break free from those invisible chains.

As you nurture the fertile soil hidden in the shadows of your inner garden you may make some surprising discoveries:

Connect with the beauty and power of your divine feminine gifts
Express and release the intuitive primal voice from within your womb
Explore and transmute the collective shadow wound of the Feminine that have played out in the patterns of your many lives
Remember what it feels like to experience the safety, deep trust and love of women, your mothers and sisters
Realign with yourself with your divine feminine soul

Guidance for working shamanically during this immersion:
At the specified times (or at any time of day that calls to you) create a sacred nest to receive transmissions from the comfort of your home. Light some candles, burn sage or other incense, anoint yourself with sacred scents, and adorn yourself in beautiful sensual fabrics or jewels or simply rest embodied in the beauty of your pristine naked body-temple.

Energetically feel how you are a thread in the fabric of life, connected to the loving nourishing community which supports all life, connected to the Womb of Gaia, and the Cosmic Womb, the Great Mother that birthed us all.

Throughout your journey, allow your breath to vibrate as she flows over your vocal chords up from deep within you, carrying the voices of all the places that have been shut down, made afraid and angry, and sad. Feel the longing. Allow the breath to sound and tone all the parts of your body as you scan her from head to toe, paying particular attention to the places you hold tension and the taboo areas you unconsciously avoid. Trust your inner guidance and release it all. Don’t hold back.

When you are fully saturated with information - or when you wake up - make some notes in your journal about your impressions. Even if you have fallen asleep to do the work in the feminine subconscious realm, trust what you feel and intuit upon waking: the sensations you feel in your body - scan yourself from head to toe; the emotions percolating, either exploding forth or wishing to emerge from just below the surface; the visions, insights, symbols, smells or tastes you experience during and after this shamanic exploration. Make notes of all these and do not hold back or filter them. It is all information that may become more and more relevant and understandable as you continue to soften into, as you shed the light of your consciousness into these dark crevasses within. You may also choose to press play on a voice recorder as you lay in your shamanic nest, to give voice to and record your notes as you receive the information.

After each transmission, enjoy a cup of tea and a bite to eat or some chocolate to get grounded as you return fully back into your body after your journey. Allow some reflective time for further integration and grounding afterwards so you do not have to rush out of the house to do any errands in the muggle world right away!

Leading up to, during and after these three days, create time for extra self-care: walks in nature, connecting your belly to Gaia and inhaling her earthy fragrance; lavender-scented epsom salt baths; massages; gathering with good friends for deep-soul sharing and laughter; swimming in lakes or oceans...whatever feeds your soul and is a restorative well for you.

Friday, October 6th, 8pm-9pm
Opening Ceremony & Transmission: Receiving Your Sacred Gifts
Allow yourself to be carried on the wings of your imagination as you trust and drop into the center of your womb to discover the Goddess within who is waiting for you. She has been caring for three gifts that belong to you, and she offers them to you now in her outstretched arms.

After you reclaim your gifts, bask in the radiance of Her love and receive her transmission.

Saturday, October 7th, 8pm-9pm
Journey & Transmission: Reclaiming the Power of Your Feminine Shadow
Light some candles and wrap yourself in a cozy cocoon as you journey inward into your womb once again, and see yourself in a clearing in the woods. It is nighttime and you have journeyed far in your bare feet, wrapped in a red velvet cloak. A warm fire beckons you to a bubbling cauldron tended by the Crone. You gaze at the flames as you approach, enchanted and mesmerized by the images you see in the fire... These images offer insight into a reunion with your wild dragon shakti. When you can almost touch the fire, you feel the heat penetrate and awaken your being. You gaze into the cauldron past the steaming mists and into the swirling bubbling broth. You are transported on a journey into the heart of what you fear most about yourself. You see and remember your whole Her-story, even the Her-story of your lineage.

Receive this transmission into your heart and womb.

When you are ready, the Crone hands you a cup of the brew and as you drink, you feel the re-integration of all the parts of yourself, all the love and power that you have left scattered across your lives.

Sunday, October 8th, 8pm-9pm
Ritual & Closing Transmission: Integrating the Gifts of Embodiment

Laying on your back, take some deep breaths and allow yourself to feel heavy and supported by the ground beneath you, and by Gaia herself. When you are ready, bring your knees to your chest and drop them from side to side in a spinal twist. Keep your awareness in your pelvic cradle, the chalice of your womb, and move slowly, intentionally with each breath. Breathing a couple breaths on one side before moving to the other. Follow this with a variation where you leave your feet on the ground by your hips as you drop your knees from side to side. Trust Your Inner Guidance. Breathing gently and deeply all the while aware of and journeying with your hips, psoas muscles, yoni, root, pelvis and sacrum, and dragon tailbone. Notice the sensations of these areas as you breathe and move slowly, gently. Notice what feelings arise, gently breathing and allowing their existence without judgement.

Begin to let your body move itself, like a baby, feeling your impulses move reflexively, kicking your heels up in the air back and forth, holding your toes or opening and closing your hands. Trust Your Inner Guidance. Explore this for a few minutes or ten minutes before releasing your legs and arms to lay flat and rest, expanding your breath, feeling the aliveness of energy coursing through you. Feel your breath gently push each sole of your feet, first one and then the other, feeling this gentle stretch and lengthening as your breath expands, deepens and releases. Feeling your body relax, heavy and sinking into the loving supportive embrace of Gaia, Trust and connect with the divine flow and sacred voice within.

Listen deeply to the information downloaded during this transmission, as you do this gentle yet powerful practice of embodiment. Allow the transmission to integrate all that you have journeyed with and experienced during the last three days.

With love and blessings from my womb to yours.

"Womb Awakening is a spiritual tradition dating back to pre-historic times, followed by initiates of many lineages of Womb Shamans and Womb Priestesses. This primordial wisdom includes Mary Magdalene’s lost teachings of the Divine Womb, an oracular, gnostic left-hand path of Christ that was passed down to the Cathar Priestesses of the Holy Spirit, encoded in an apocryphal gospel of the feminine mysteries known as the Book of Love.

The shamanic womb mysteries were also practiced by the Yoginis and Devadasis of India,the pre-patriarchal Khandros and Dakinis of Tibet, the Egyptian Priestesses of Isis, the Celtic Swan priestesses of Avalon and by many indigenous cultures across the world." ~The Fountain of Life

Take a shamanic journey through your womb's medicine wheel of life. Open your voice toning through the sacred grail gates to heal physical imbalances and bring each elemental power alive within your feminine body and soul. We gather outdoors in the warm summer evening for a New Moon circle that initiates and blesses the Feminine Ways.

Since the beginning of May it's felt like life has been moving on double time, which is great on the dance floor but in everyday life it can be too much too fast. So these moments around the new moon like the one we are approaching this week are an especially delicious and vital opportunity to sink into a feminine yin space of feeling, receptivity, and flow. Wherever you are in your life, wherever you find yourself this midsummer, we invite you to take time to nurture your feminine body and spirit.

We will be gathering outdoors in the beautiful Hudson River Park on Pier 64 at west 24th street to take a journey with the elements into our Womb Medicine Wheels: the microcosm of the tree of life and wheel of life that lives within us and is influenced by everything from our past lovers, environments, self care, connection with the spirit realm - everything! When we learn our elemental gifts and weave them together we can truly travel through the portals of our wombs to access all of our creative powers. Hudson river park brings all of these elements to us as well, so we don't just have to imagine into them, we can palpably experience them with the setting sun, the flowing water, the soft grassy earth and the birds and breezes.

We'll also be crafting dream pillows with sacred mugwort and lavender which help us to sleep and dream more deeply and actively work with the medicine of our dream-time. Doing this midsummer merges the yin with the yang :)

On the New Moon we gather together for a deeply restorative experience and loving self-exploration.

Spring is a perfect time to nourish our womb spaces as we prepare and enrich the soil of our gardens to grow nourishing foods for ourselves and beautiful flowers for the birds, butterflies and bees. When we deeply care for ourselves we help to bring balance and well-being to all life.

We will lead you through a rich Womb Garden Journey to clear what is no longer fruitful and plant new seeds of intentions. The New Moon is known to be an optimal time for seed planting as the plant will be aided to grow strong with the pull of the waxing moon.

Chanting together we will send vibrating sound waves of love into your core, anchoring the resonance of life-giving shakti into your garden of intentions.

Rest in yin womb yoga poses to embody the deep feminine knowing of when to allow life to flow without the masculine mental interference we have gotten so proficient at after generations of living within a patriarchal system. Sometimes non-doing is the subtle breath we need, to allow space for growth and renewed strength and action. Even with spiritual growth we need to balance between facing our edges directly with deep mining and release work and then the much needed gentle embrace and soft caresses. We give ourselves a gift when we listen to the rhythms of our nature and attune ourselves to the ebb and flow that organically occurs with the feminine and masculine cycles of the lunar and solar energies which support and keep life in balance.

A healing circle that initiates, blesses and celebrates the Feminine Ways with dragon shakti breathing, a form of holotropic breath-work that clears imprints and trauma from our wombs and energy bodies and brings us into our creative birthing power as channels of pure shakti.

Do you feel called to create from a healthier place in your life? Are you ready to begin a family, or have another child and want to clear old imprints from your womb before conceiving?

Everything we create- a painting, a business, a child, is seeded and birthed through the womb space. Whatever is present in the womb - past traumas, cords from old relationships, fears and insecurities - will imprint upon those creations, continuing the lineage of suffering until it is given space to heal and transform.

Learn powerful ancient moon college practices that:
~ Clear past sexual hurts, betrayals and sabotaging patterns of yourself and your lineage
~ Restore your womb sovereignty and reset your DNA to her original innocence
~ Ignite your primal power, sensual pleasure, and passion for love and life
~ Discover and heal the womb grid energy pathways in your body, connecting you to the web of life and creation

The womb (or hara for men), is a portal, a multidimensional sacred space connecting each woman or man to the infinite birthing energy of creation and the web of life. A woman with an awakened womb is a true shamaness who walks between the worlds. Thousands of years ago this connection was shut down and each person now lives with a lineage of patriarchal trauma and personal sexual trauma. But now the doorway is opening once again. By saying yes to meeting those wounds we also say yes to meeting and reclaiming the power that lives here that has the capacity to bring healing balm to the world. The pure, life-giving, sexual shakti that merges with LOVE rebirths each person who connects with it, creating a deeply embodied Heaven on Earth.

This Dragon Cannot be Slayed. She is a mother who watches with a keen and loving eye. She is a grandmother who holds the stories of a land forgotten by time. She is dancing in the camp fire and swimming in the streams. Channel of pure magic and keeper of raw elemental power, she protects our Earth with her life giving shakti. The dragon is awake and invites you to discover your elemental medicine and steward the Earth with her.

For women, men and couples.
