The substance of our physical body matters!  When we accept our body as good-enough and natural, it can be a powerful source of inner guidance and wisdom. This workshop is designed for personal healing and transformation; for women who want to befriend their body and feel at home in their own skin.    Negative attitudes towards our bodies and sexuality, influenced by cultural and religious traditions, will be addressed and released through a gentle safe process which includes movement, guided meditation and story-telling.  Knowing from within that your body is as sacred and miraculous as any other part of creation will encourage you to bring to birth your unique wisdom and gifts.  As we heal ourselves, we heal our world.
