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.

This workshop is run by Alex Chaloner and Rebecca Morton.

SATURDAY

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, myth and stillness we weave a web of connection to the Dark Goddess accross the two days we will spend together.

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

On Sunday we move into the depth of the Dark Mothers embrace within ourselves. We start at 10am and finish at 5pm with a closing ceremony with participation for all.

 

There are no prerequisites for 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.

You will need:

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

  • 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 wear ceremonial clothing, you will also need a warm 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.

What do participants say about this workshop?

"I was moved on many different levels during this workshop to the dark Goddess. I remember shining a light into the corners of my womb, and imagining it as a tomb. Weeks later I am still moved and challenged by what I saw and experienced. It was a truely enlightning weekend and it has had an impact on my life. Thank you for your imagination, skill, nurturing and care."

"Profoundly healing, joyous, soulful, playful and in all ways amazing. I'm so glad I did this workshop."

"I had a lovely, relaxing, yet thought-provoking weekend in a supportive and friendly atmosphere. It was a place between the worlds! Thank you."

"Two weeks prior to this workshop I had never even heard of 'Goddess Within' or 'The Dark Goddess', so this truly was a Journey in the Dark! But if ever I was in the right place at the right time this was it. I am still assimilating the effects of the Ritual and the whole workshop experience, but I can say this… you advertise workshops for empowerment, and you deliver exactly that.
I do feel empowered. Thank you."


"The Priestesses are blessed with an ability to let the journey unfold, in a natural, and spontaneous way; I would like to attend every single workshop they offer."


"The Journey was such a delightful experience into my inner self! I took so much from this weekend that has been vivid in my life since then. Thank you for the amazing facilitation Alex and Becca, for your inspiring, wise and bright spirits who keep a sacred and safe space, and make alive the celebration of the Divine Feminine."
