ya ya sisterhood
oh what a fun night! it reminded me of the movie divine secrets of ya ya sisterhood. It was very ritualistic - we had a little meditation then we all had to write down our wishes for ourselves, others and the world. Then we walked down a track to the circle. along the path were candles hanging in the trees to light our way and as each of us stepped into the circle one of the women cleansed us with sage. We had little ceremonies for air, fire, earth and water. Then we all read out our wishes and put them into the fire. Then we had african drums and dancing. Some sung, others danced. while this was all happening the neighbour came down and shone his torch at us - I am sure he thought we were a bunch of witches stirring the cauldron. But you know what ? I met alot of lovely women, who were proud to be women - all of us with stories to tell. all strong, beautiful people. signing off tonight as :
Duchess Standing Turtle

Oh Robyn...can you believe I am "Queen Runs-with-the-Bulls" What fun...wish I was there too. Hugs
I am so happy to hear about your experience. My women friends and I do this on a regular basis...even to the drumming aspect. We love it! It helps us feel grounded and centered, reminds us of the bonds of friendship, and we are able to continue on with our daily lives reminded of the many blessings we receive each day. Good for you, Robyn!
sounds like a perfectly wonderful night! Wish you had photos of how each of you were dressed as I know you were beautiful.

What wacky fun! And I loved that movie! It ranks right up there Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias as one of my favorites!
I used my maiden name since it is more authentic than my now-divorced-married name.....it is right on the money!
"QUEEN SHAKES HER BOOTY"!
Ah, how true, how true!
Thanks for a smile, Ms. Robyn. Too bad we live a continent apart....you remind me of my one true friend who thinks as "oddly" as I do.
I'm back.....I did my daughter's name,
