Portal to the Self: A Women's Circle by the Sea

Portal to the Self: A Women's Circle by the Sea March 14 - 21, 2015       We invite women to gather for retreat and replenishment on Isla Mujeres, an island in the tranquil turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean.    This island is sacred to Ixchel, the Mayan Moon Goddess and historically a place for healing rituals among the Mayan people.  We will create a circle of abundance, compassion and support as we weave together our stories and wisdom.    By honoring Ixchel’s tradition, we become midwives of our dreams and visions. Storytelling, yoga, journaling, poetry, guided imagery, and more will serve as forms to access the blessings and beauty that flow in each of us. Participants will stay at Na Balam, an intimate, boutique hotel on the beach where landscaped trails, tropical gardens and the beauty of the ocean will provide a perfect abode for the retreat. Yoga and ceremony at ancient Mayan temple.   For more information, visit www.islawomensretreat.com; email info@islawomensretreat.com;  or call 440 779-6727

Garlic

8 great ways to eat Garlic Short and sweet and quick to eat.

1.   Garlic Toast: Mince a garlic clove. Toast a piece of whole wheat bread. Butter it. Add the minced garlic. Eat.

...

2.   Garlic Dip: Mix 1-3 teaspoons of granulated or powdered garlic and ¼ teaspoon salt into ½ cup yogurt and ½ cup cream cheese. Spread on crackers or use as a dip with chips.

3.   Garlic Greens: Cook a pot of greens for at least one hour. While the greens are still hot, add 2-6 cloves thinly-sliced or minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon tamari or miso. Eat hot or cold.

4.   Garlic Honey: Put unpeeled (Important! Leave peels on!) fresh garlic cloves in a small jar. Cover completely with honey. Lid and label. Ready to use in 24 hours.

5.   Garlic Vinegar: Fill a jar with your choice of whole or cut fresh garlic or garlic scapes or flowers. Fill jar to the top with apple cider vinegar. Use a non-metal lid; plastic, glass, rubber, cork are fine. Ready to use in 7 days.

6.   Forever Garlic Vinegar: As above, but pasteurize the vinegar first by boiling it briefly in a non-metal pot, then cooling completely before pouring over garlic. This vinegar will stay good for up to five years, as opposed to the previous vinegar, which is good for no more than 6 months.

7.   Garlic Oil: Mince fresh garlic and add to a small jar of extra virgin olive oil. Lid and label. Ready to use in 24 hours Do not use in food after a month, but okay to use as an antifungal on your feet or other places if it gets too old.

Priestess Training with Dr. Z Budapest - May 16-18, 2014

This month at the Wise Woman Center:Priestess Training with Dr. Z Budapest - May 16-18, 2014

A priceless chance to study intimately with the grandmother of the Women’s Spirituality Movement and a third generation Dianic witch.

Working through your own ancestral Goddess Archetype, you will delve deeply into creation magic, crafting both personal and collective spells, with Z’s expert guidance.

Z will lead you into a shamanic trance to connect with your Ancient ancestors and the Goddesses they loved. She will then teach us a simple ritual of connecting to the wisdom and energy of our direct ancestors. (Come prepared with the names of the women in your line.) We will end the day with a magnificent ritual.

Chanting, dreaming, envisioning, feasting, libations, blessings, singing, and dancing are all on the program. High Magic Ritual Saturday night, too, and lots of green magic all day and all night.
