Displays on page: Retreat and Renewal for Women, Men and Young Adults

In the Company of Women

When I attended Ukalái, Sacred Fire’s Annual Gathering of Women, I found it a safe place to be vulnerable, to let things come up. Over the previous years, sparked by a particular renewed friendship with a woman I’d known in youth, I had slowly been opening up to the idea of community, accepting the possibility that I didn’t have to live my life as a loner and could be part of a supportive circle.

At Ukalái, a big revelation to me was how universal feminine trauma actually is. I also realized how far I’d already come in my personal healing over six decades of life.

The facilitators Sherry Boatright and Annie King held a safe and beautiful container. And the setting at the Blue Deer Center, a sacred place I had already come to love, helped contain our work as well.

Taking Time to Grow Ourselves

There is such richness when we are witnessed and supported by community, as we learn and grow into what it is to be human, through the various stages of life. Sometimes community comes in the form of a pop-up “village,” during a profound time spent together over several days.

Gift yourself with one of the following opportunities to take some time “out of time” to remember and rediscover something essential about yourself. See the Sparks (events) section below for a list of upcoming Men’s and Women’s annual gatherings.

Sacred Emergence, which supports initiation into adulthood for young women, will take place July 26-August 2. Applications are due by February 15, 2020.

A really beneficial time for men to be together

This Lifeways program has evolved into a really beneficial time for men to be together. I appreciate time we had together to be in a community group albeit for a short time. There was time to experience support, a rather deep sharing, and a very unusual learning from the teachings of Grandfather Fire through the perspective and experience of Don David Wiley.

I was in the Scotland event and i found i really liked Scotland—it was a bonus that it was a beautiful place and i felt welcomed and much at home there.

Our group was from merry old England, the country of Wales, the Emerald Isle, and of course the USA where i am from. This international flavor was eclipsed by the commonality of of what it is to be human. It was refreshing to experience the willingness of men to work together.
