PORTALS TO THE SELF :
A Women’s Circle by the Sea

Isla Mujeres, Mexico

March 29 - April 5, 2009

Isla Mujeres - the Island of Women - historically has been used for retreat and healing rituals among the Mayan peoples because it powerfully evokes elemental life . . . rich, lush and alive.

On the southern tip of the Island stands an arch . . . an opening in the rocks, a portal, a remnant from an ancient time. This place, sacred to Ixchel, the Mayan Moon Goddess, invites all women to gather here for a time of retreat and replenishment. As we step through her portal, we recommit ourselves to fully enter our beauty-wisdom nature.

On Ixchel’s beloved Island, we invite women, each year, to gather together . . . to form a circle, to weave together our stories . . . to become midwives of our dreams and visions.

This beautiful island, Isla Mujeres, encircled by the turquoise Caribbean Sea, will conspire with us . . . breathe with us as we embody our truths, move in us as we find our dance, speak with us as we share our stories. Ixchel herself encourages us to reflect upon and explore new possibilities of connection and joy. Together, we will create a circle of abundance and strength, as we receive Moon stories full of mythic magic.

Storytelling, yoga, movement, water play, guided imagery, and journaling will serve as forms for accessing our psyche’s depths. By naming and sharing our gifts in our sacred circle we will be enriched and enlivened, as individuals and as a joyful and potent community of women, committed to healing ourselves, our sisters, and our world.

Our accommodations reflect many aspects of our week, for the retreat space is separate from, yet near, the mainstream of public life at Na Balam Hotel. The rooms are set in the curve of a crescent moon, surrounded by tropical gardens which engender the wild, fertile feminine and offer a glimpse of what it might be like to dwell in a time and place of women . . . of the Great Mother.

How Intuition Works

2008-04-29T12:59:00.000-07:00

Do you remember 5th grade science class when we learned an atom has three parts? The protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons are orbiting around the outside. Do you remember how big an atom is? Using Helium the smallest known atom on the planet as a guide, if the nucleoli was big enough to fit in the palm of your hand the electrons would orbit 6 miles away. That’s a lot of space.

In the early 1900’s Quantum physics revealed that less than 1% of an atom is made up what Newtonian physics called matter. That means 99% of what we think of as matter is actually space. Furthermore it showed that “matter” is actually concentrated light, quanta, or energy. That means we have 1% energy surrounded by 99% space.

Why doesn’t my hand go through the table if we are mostly space?
The quantum physicists taught us that what we thought of as space was really the glue that held matter together. That space is made up of the relationship between the packets of energy, protons and electrons, called an electromagnetic force. When they tried to predict the outcome of that relationship at a certain time they found there was an infinite number of possibilities whose manifestation was dependent on the intention of the observer.

Quantum physics proved that our conscious thoughts guide our actions and the action of matter around us. Intuition is the reading of the possibilities in those thoughts combined with the intention of the client to create different outcomes.

When we walk through our day our actions are dictated, not by our conscious mind, but our subconscious mind. When you eat breakfast do you think about how to hold the fork? When you drive to work do you consciously tell your foot to push on the break pedal? Our ability to memorize patterns of movement and reproduce them subconsciously is integral to our survival. 90-99% of what we do everyday is dictated more by our rote subconscious than our higher conscious minds. From this we can apply quantum physics and say that our subconscious, automatic, thoughts dictate more of our actions than the conscious ones.

That’s where counseling comes in. It may be the intention of my client to create change in his or her life, however, the subconscious is in control and literally running on automatic thwarting any possible new outcome. By intuitively looking at the patterns we are stuck in we can let go of the powerin being "stuck" and allow the desired outcome to manifest. This is the work my clients and I do together.

What is Intuitive Counseling?

2008-04-29T12:58:00.000-07:00

Intuitive counseling is a psychic reading of the energetic potentials in a person's space. Although all possibilities exist in a given moment, certain outcomes are more likely to occur than others because of the power of our intention. Much of the intention we hold is automatic, dictated by our subconscious rather than conscious mind. Intuitive counseling brings the subconscious into the conscious, assisting a person in understanding the patterns, and changing those that are no longer valid in order to manifest their desired outcome. A session may involve any or all of multiple healing methods:

* Balancing chakras
* Grounding and cultivation of Qi (energy)
* Past life healing
* Reconnection with angels and spirit guides
* Removal of foreign and unwanted energies from the astral or physical bodies
* Understanding karmic or healing agreements in a relationship
* Retrieving lost life force energy

During the session I provide insight into these various aspects of your life to help you understand them in meaningful ways. This enables you to live a more free and enriching life. Be sure to allow yourself some time after a session for integration and reflection.

How can a session help you?

The implications of my work are as diverse as the clients I assist. Contact me to see how I may be able to assist your individual needs.

Your body is a beautiful faithful friend.

What to Expect From a Session

2008-04-28T08:20:00.000-07:00

Through a conversation with my clients I facilitate the movement of stuck energy in their physical and astral bodies. Stuck energy leads to "stuckness" in our bodies. Imagine a flowing spring. If you damn up the spring, water stagnates and sours, and pressure builds. The energy in our body follows the laws of fluid dynamics and acts exactly like the spring. When this happens we find our selves stuck in unhealthy, unwanted patterns. This can result in pathology of the body, mind, or spirit. We may find ourselves becoming trapped in our own emotions, a relationship, a habit, or a deep cultural or behavioral belief.

What I don't do: I can't "fix it". I can't predict when the love of your life will appear, if your spouse is cheating on you, or if you'll loose your job. I can facilitate you moving stagnant, negative energy that is preventing you form meeting your ideal partner, having the job of your dreams, and living in a state of total abundance.

A session with me can offer assistance in times of transition, loss, or accelerated self-change. My primary goal is to assist my clients to discover and clear the way to manifest the highest version of their life's desire. Through conversation I facilitate a healing processes that shifts karmic debt as the client shifts and changes. Nothing is predestined.

About Sarah

2008-04-21T17:59:00.001-07:00

As most stories do, mine begins at the beginning, with my birth. I have been an intuitive since childhood. I have little memory of anything "special" because, to me starting at 2 years old, I thought everyone accessed the unlimited information of the universe. My loving parents recognized my openness and my intuitive senses were nurtured and supported by them. As I grew up I paid less attention to my sense of intuition as I did to what was cool. By the time I was in college intuition meant little more to me than a lucky guess on an exam.

And then (I once was told all good stories have an 'and then') in 2001 I met my first teacher, Kathleen Wilson. First as friends, she shared her own story of living as an intuitive and began to help me look back at my own life and remember. She invited me to participate in a workshop she was teaching and my life changed forever. With her I began to lean skills, tools, and to use my intuition to help move stuck energy. I practice energy clearing on myself, bring my body, mind, and spirit back into balance and deepening my connection to Universal Consciousness.

A few years later I met my second teacher, Lillianna, who helped me develop my skills reading chakras and auras, and navigating the energetic world. Lillianna has continued to provide great guidance and encouragement to my practice as an intuitive counselor.

I have been practicing Energy work for seven years and have found great presence of mind, life satisfaction and joy for having done so. I would love to help you cultivate your life consciously. Call me to set up an appointment.
