What Goddess Journeys Is
Goddess Journeys is a community for personal exploration, embracing female archetypes, and it’s a travel group.
We begin in Greece!
The Goddess Journeys project offers a way to play with goddess qualities that we might want to nurture within ourselves and share with each other. Together we create a community of empowerment and celebrate ourselves as women.
The idea is to create a safe space where women can delve into the Goddess archetypes of various cultures and then visit and explore those cultures to deepen our understanding and connection.
Over several months, via Zoom or in person, we’ll meet goddesses and female mystics of a selected region. Our gatherings will include discussions about their stories and where to learn more, guided meditations, journaling, and sharing what’s happening within ourselves. Then, we travel on a retreat to that region, exploring the historical sites where these goddesses were worshipped.
Why Archetypes
Goddess Journeys stems from the idea that mythological archetypes take us into the realm of symbolism and metaphor and offer an abstract way of addressing issues, often revealing unexpected insights that can lead to personal empowerment and growth.
As we learn about goddess archetypes, we’ll explore the sacred feminine and examine our soulful, intuitive connections to life’s events. By immersing ourselves in the stories that brought these goddesses to life, we can transcend time, space, and energy to experience their original, core qualities. Together, we’ll hold space for one another, exploring the goddess traits that resonate with us and noticing those that do not. We can dance with the qualities we wish to embody, and gently begin to release what no longer serves us.
