It's Initiation Time!

IMG 20151008 095921

Hello Dear Ones,

Yes, it has been a looooong time since you have heard from me...I have been working away here, fixing up my house and fixing up myself so that I can offer you some goodness right here at the "ORR"ange house in Beverly, MA. Last fall we painted our house but the weather got to be too chilly (and then we had the longest New England Winter ever!!) So the painters came back in the spring to finish doors and trim. Do you see that lovely red door in the picture? That door is for YOU to enter. My husband made me this sign-in book for the "Ladies Entrance Art Studio" so long ago..and now it gets to come off the shelf and be used!

Check out the offerings below as I use this fall as a "soft opening" and initiation time..and stay tuned for more as I continue along..I have great visions for this basement studio space, the original kitchen of my 1853 home. You will find a fireplace inside..a perfect place for us to gather and stoke our creative fires within!

I hope you can join me for a special ceremony on October 24th, led by urban shamanista Sharon Ann Rose. What is being called forth within you to celebrate and honor? Let us initiate together in this season of great transformation.

There is so much for us to draw out, and I look forward to sharing the amazing powers of art and creativity with all of you lovelies soon!

With Blessings,
Carla

Feminine Creation & Initiation ~ A blessing ceremony of our wholeness

P1140602 2

led and written by Sharon Ann Rose

In our time together, we will delve in to the interior journey of Feminine initiation, as I offer my story and alchemy from plunging in to the untameable darkness to discover a wellspring of inherent creativity and connection. We'll peer at our own deepest regrets, shame, guilt and fear, to unearth a rich foundation for our gifts and creative endeavors to flourish and thrive from. We will walk to the Atlantic Ocean to honor this inner initiation into our fullest selves and lives, gifting the waters with our whole-hearted well-being.

*Bring: your tender, raw heart, and a gentle dose of vulnerability. Water to drink, snacks to nourish yourself if needed. Wear comfy clothes. And if you have an object (created, spoken, tangible or intagible) that expresses your deepest acceptance of your wholeness, bring that as a focalizing piece for our time together.
