GMC Workshop descriptions

Excavating, Healing and Transmuting the Embedded Wounds of Patriarchy
At the past Great Mother celebrations, the divine Mother energy was called upon to help us heal, balance, and understand the divine feminine energy within ourselves (male and female). During this presentation we will be called upon to tap into the divine masculine energy (spiritual guides) and dig deeper within ourselves (male and female) to heal and remove unwanted/negative energies, belief systems, traumas and experiences accumulated within this life time and past life times.

Awakening and Balancing the Inner Feminine & Masculine through Yoga, Breath and Sound
In this workshop gathering we'll experience yoga as the union of Shakti and Shiva. Through this sacred dance we'll explore the principles of stillness and dynamic change. With our bodies we will imbue the riddle of how when these dimensions are clearly differentiated they are experienced as inseparable.

Becoming the embodiment of the Integral man
In today's society there is so much confusion as to what constitutes manhood and how it is expressed, both on the dominate cultural level, as well as the sub cultural level. We content that manhood is not a monolith but is a synthesis of different aspects that have come together in the healthy personality of a man. Our presentation will explore these different aspects and/or archetypes of manhood and the techniques and benefits one can experience when you Integrate them into one's personality.

The Construction of Manhood: An Ancient New Technology
This presentation will involved a historical survey of how the ancients viewed manhood and the importance of male preparation for transition into adulthood. We will examine methods of bringing young men into manhood and how such techniques coupled with modern technology will be of great benefit today.

Holding the Embrace of the Divine Masculine: A Journey into Tantra
Tantra is a cosmic loom that embraces all of the universal remnants within creation and weaves them into a harmonious web of light. Through this Tantric lens of light all is seen and experienced as ONE. Journey with us into a spiraling dance of remembrance designed to usher us into the full embrace and illumination of our Divinity. 

Awakening the Divine Masculine within the Sacred Feminine Vessel
As Sacred Feminine beings, we'll explore awakening the Divine Masculine within us through various modalities such as chakra opening, meditation, self reflection and identifying our archetypes….and as the Sacred Rose awaken the fire within us.

The Divine Masculine ... Experiencing the Energies of Authentic Masculinity
Masculine energy exists in us all ... both male and female. Carl Jung referred to this energy as the Sacred Masculine  in men , or the Animus in women . Popular societal notions of masculinity often portray superficial and immature ideas that are inadequate, outdated and incomplete. In this workshop we will explore the mature, authentic masculine that is deeply embedded in our psyche and soul. This source of male energy brings a fullness and maturity for which men, women and the world are calling. We will learn an "archetypal map" of the core masculine energies of the Lover, Warrior, Magician and Sovereign ... and how they operate in men and women ... and can be developed to enrich ourselves, our relationships and deepen our spiritual development.
