Restorying the Heroine's Journey
May 31-June 2, 2019
5 pm on Friday - lunch on Sunday
Rolling Ridge Study Retreat and Still Point mountain cabin near Harpers Ferry WV

In this era of disintegration and despair, it is time for women to reclaim our heritage as well-tenders and hear again our ancestral stories from many traditions; stories that remind us about our belonging to the animate Earth, about our capacity for courage, for healing, and for re-weaving the beautiful garment of our world. Through time in the wild mountain forest of Rolling Ridge as well as gathered times of ceremony and soulful conversation, we will immerse ourselves in the realm of story and deep imagination, listening for the Voices of the Wells.

The Winter Solstice, the day the “sun stands still”, poised between light and dark, has been celebrated as a moment of transformation for thousands of years among many peoples on every continent.  It invites us to pause in awe at the wonder of the heavens and the cycle of the seasons and consider the role of mystery and the rhythms of grace in our lives, and so be restored in heart and soul.
Helping a Lost Culture Find Its Way with Jim Hall and Cheryl Hellner

Rolling Ridge Study Retreat (near Harpers Ferry WV)

It is said that old stories like this one, old mythic stories, live on through the centuries. Could this mythic story be living today in our time of unraveling of culture and of nature? And if so, where is Athena, where is Mentor, coming to meet us? In this weekend program we will carry that question. Where is Mentor? Where is Athena? Where is the one who will nourish the dreams of youth and empower them to live fully into who they were born to be and into the gift that is theirs alone to give?

Standing tall in majesty and wildness, the trees beckon. Moving in rhythm with wind and rain, these strong and pliable pillars ;low with a song of life that offers wisdom and joy. In this place where language fails, music invites us into an ever-­‐deeper relationship with all beings – and with our heart’s longing. Join us as we sing and chant, listen to the music around us, and walk in the companionship of trees.

“How can I stay present to this world – the light and the dark – while still keeping an open loving heart: Who ever promised me the world would be perfect… I need to set a different course by reminding myself that humankind has always been flawed…and Love and light continue to exist anyway.” ~ Ann O’Shaughnessy, former co-editor of “Heron Dance,” founder of soulflares.org
