May 17 -21, 2017
Once upon a time, long ago, women were cherished and revere d as symbols of the Mother Goddess, the source of all life. For thousands o f years people lived in peace, creating civilizations that honored harmony and community.
Tragically, those civilizations were crushed. But thro ugh the centuries women worked in secret to keep alive the sacred knowledge of how to nurture life, how to perceive and work with energy, how to heal, how to stay in tune with the forces of nature, how to create and maintain balance. These became the women’s mysteries, carefully passed along from wo man to woman through generations.
Some of these mysteries were lost, but today we are working to reclaim them – not only for ourselves and our l oved ones but for the survival of the planet. Join us as we listen for thes e ancient whispers, travel in pilgrimage to women’s mysteries, and celebrat e our journey together.
This theme goes back to the very roots of our organization and why women came together 30 years ago to learn, worship an d commune. We will be revisiting those beginnings, having a reunion with ol d and new friends, refreshing our traditions and spirits…..and CELEBRATING!
The event consists of two programs, The Institute (May 17-19) and Th e Gathering (May 19-21). The Institute is a smaller group (typically no mor e than 60 women) and provides a more contemplative space to explore the eve nt’s offerings. Attendance at The Gathering is larger (up to 100 women) and offers further opportunities for spiritual growth and to connect with othe r women on the path of the Divine Feminine.
The event will be held at The Mountain Retreat and Learning Center nestled in the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Highlands, North Carolina. For more information about T he Mountain, visit www.themountainr lc.org.
The Institute and Gathering each cost $290: the UUWomensp irit program fee of $100 and $190 for The Mountain food (6 meals) and lodgi ng (2 nights). If you attend both the Institute and the Gathering, the tota l fee is $580. Members of UUWomenspirit receive a $20 discount per program, and there is an additional $20 per program discount if you register by the early bird deadline. UUWomenspirit membership is $30 per year.
