JOURNEY TO THE DARK GODDESS

I, darkness, am the only reality.
I am whole and united.
Dark Isis beyond the veil of all veils
Ultimate and unique.
One and many am I and yet no-thing.

I hold the seed of life in my Shakti embrace.
I am the death eater and life giver.
I am the formless form.
I am timeless time.

I am causal, I am the cause of everything
And you are my effect.

The Dark Goddess is the primordial womb, the source and birth place of all creation. She is the ultimate giver of life, transformer and tomb to which we all return to rest.

She is the one who leads us to wisdom through difficult life lessons and experiences. She holds us whilst we journey through her underworlds. Her names and faces are many, like the stars that illuminate her heavenly realm.

Open to men and women alike who wish to journey to the transformative womb of the Dark Mother Goddess in hope of rebirth and renewal.

To journey with the Dark Goddess is to:

  • Let-go, go deep within and surrender.

  • Face your own inner darkness as you journey through her underworld.

  • Discover your inner reserve of transformative power.

  • Give yourself the opportunity to move towards your true SELF.

What to Expect?

Using our unique blend of ceremony, ritual, movement, sound, creative meditation and myth we weave a web of connection to the Dark Goddess.

On Saturday we will start at 10am and break for dinner at 4pm (please arrange for your own dinner). We then re-group at 7pm for our very special underworld ceremony which will last until around 9pm.

On Sunday we start at 10am and finish at 5pm.

What to Bring.

An object for the altar that represents your participation on the Journey to the Dark Goddess (these will be returned to you).

If you have a broomstick please bring this too. If you don't have one, don't worry!

Parts of the Journey will take place outdoors in nature, so you will need to bring a good pair of walking boots or sturdy trainers, along with warm and waterproof clothing for Saturday daytime.

For the evening ceremony on the Saturday night please where white/violet or silver you will also need a blanket and a pillow, which should be brought to the workshop on the Saturday morning.

Please note participants are expected to make their own arrangements for accommodation and evening meal on Saturday as these are not included in the workshop fees. Drinks and snacks throughout the two days are included.

Who can Attend?

There are no prerequisites to attending this journey. We have many people from all walks of life and religious backgrounds attending. All that we ask for is that you are willing to be taken on this journey and to accept whatever comes your way.
