Waking Up In Love is a Divinely inspired collaboration between Karen Mehringer of Creative Transformations and Lumenaria Goyer of Awaken Unity. Within this site you will find information on up-coming co-facilitated workshops, retreats, and guided spiritual travels.
During a recent visit, we (Lumenaria and Karen) weremusing on the subtle, and not so subtle, suppression of the Divine Feminine Nature and essential power within ourselves and our female clients. We felt called and inspired to work collaboratively to help women awaken more fully to their brilliance! Thus, ‘Waking Up In Love’ was born; it has a magical, mystical life of its own! Since the essence of this collaboration was conceived, much has been revealed and it continues to be as such. WE INVITE YOU INTO THE MAGIC…
Waking Up in Love: Empowering Remembrance of Women's Divine Feminine Nature We are at a turning point: the energy that has dominated women for millennia is radically shifting. As women we have long chosen repression and been part of a collective disdain for our true power and magnificence. The nightmares of this pattern in its most extreme forms are fading away. At the initiation of this lifetime we awakened to a new cycle, with the capacity to move forward in full empowerment and alignment with our Essential Feminine Nature. We hold within our bodies - these feminine forms - the mystery of life itself and the magic of creation. We have the capacity for immense spiritual connection within the context of our physical experience of life. We have the capacity for ‘Waking up in Love’ with ourselves and All of Life!
However, many have lingered a bit long in the difficult, old patterns of disempowerment. We have been unsure, due to collective fears and inhibitions, about whether and how we should take the plunge and move forward into our birthright! We have been in midst of a cosmic pause - literally reconsidering and reorganizing our energy in support of our female magic and capacity to balance the spiritual and material planes of existence within our bodies. In this space we have seen our capacity to live in Grace, Expansion, Fortune, Unity, and Beauty, although we may have a difficult time fully believing what we seem to know. We have positive expectations, and feel a new power arising, or wanting to arise, within us that has yet to be fully realized on the material plane. We are being roused into awakening our Divine Feminine Nature and bringing her into form.
The first step to awakening our Divine Feminine Nature is to re-claim as SACRED self-love and reverence for our bodies, our innate rhythms, and natural ways of being. The health and balance of our entire bio-spiritual system depends upon freely offering ourselves the energies of love, joy, kindness, gentleness, respect and honesty. To re-claim self-love in this manner, we must remove, even if as a temporary reprieve, the external, commercialized, women as merchandise/property ‘gaze’ that has been upon us for millennia. We must release unsupportive cultural, family, and/or societal paradigms about women’s bodies, power, potential, and nature. As we leave the bondage of these codified gazes, we can rediscover the magnificence of womanhood as a source of support, as a blessing.
Through intentionally immersing ourselves in a current of reverence for feminine energy, we arrive at the center of womanhood, of self, where we can find and magnify those parts of us that have been un-touched by longstanding power-over and bondage, those parts that have not been sacrificed. As we re-connect with these aspects of self, we wake up the capacity to experience freedom from the subtle yet insidious atrocities of self-hatred, manipulation, and self-judgment - of destruction of the goddess within. We begin to restore ourselves to a state of balanced wholeness and self-love that allows us to flourish and awaken. We begin to access our raw essential Divine Feminine Nature and power!
