Spirituality Peace Sunday - Awakening the Divine Feminine
Mirabai Staff will lead a meditation invoking the Divine Feminine, with her full range of merciful and fierce aspects, inviting Her to abide with us and guide us on the path to being of service in this beautiful, broken world. Drawing on all the world’s wisdom traditions, we will welcome the sacred in her indwelling feminine forms as Kwan Yin, Mary, Tara, Kali & Durga, Sophia, Shekhinah, and Gaia. We will gather the elixir of her power to empower us to step up as the prophets we are all called to be in these perilous, blessed times.
