Unearthing the Goddess is an online workshop for women. It's a space for us to gather together and bask in the wisdom of the great She. We are living in a time where more and more of us women are remembering and restoring an ancient form of spirituality which has been deliberately buried and hidden in plain sight for centuries. We are hungry for the blood and bones of feminine spirituality. We long to place the body and the land back on the altar. This workshop traces the history of the goddess's un-ceremonial burial, it tracks woman's disembodiment and offers a path forward for those of us reclaiming the wisdom of the ancient mother goddess.
The 'Unearthing the Goddess' workshop traces the ways that the earth and body-based spiritual traditions of the early inhabitants of Britain and Ireland were colonised and the ensuing psychic rupture this created and is still felt to this day. When we re-centre the land and the body, we open to a way of being which requires no external authority or hierarchy; one that is free for all who desire to follow it.
Most of the history of this workshop is centred around Britian and Ireland. It's important to me as a guide to speak from the place I'm rooted in. The pre-historic events of this region had huge ramifications for the rest of the world and it's likely that you will find the workshop interesting and informative regardless of where you or your ancestors are from, though it may be of particular interest to those of British and Irish descent.
Have you always felt a deep affinity with the Goddess. This workshop is a space to expand your knowledge of her history.
If you've felt a pull to the authentic feminine: wise, wild, raw and feral... learn all about her as an embodiment of the Goddess in this workshop.
Do you work with women? If so, understanding how the suppressing of the Goddess affects women can deepen your work.
Are you thinking of joining my Cosmic Feminine Training? This workshop serves as an introduction to many of the themes we'll be weaving with.
I've spent the last decade studying and teachings way for women to come back to the womb as their centre. But what does this have to do with the buried goddess? There was a time in earth's history when people – in this case, the inhabitants of Britain and Ireland – experienced a severing from their bodies and the land they lived on.
As they became 'civilised' they became evermore disconnected from the primal centres of the lower body. What had once been worshipped as sacred blood was now seen as sinful. What had once been understood as the natural current of life moving through the body was now considered immoral and corrupting.
The further away humans have moved from their bodies and the earth body, the more disconnected and disembodied they've become.
And now things are changing.
As more women return home to their womb as the centre of their being, they are finding that an innate and in-dwelling way of worshipping life flows effortlessly through them.
This workshop offers some of the historical-cultural perspective around this, filling in the gaps many of us have about why these events unfolded in the first place. This workshop contains Miriam's original research and unique perspective which is useful information for women who are guiding other women into embodiment to have in their possession.
Restoring the Goddess is a movement of returning to the sacred rhythms of life;
to get off the mad wheel of the dominator paradigm to usher in a new way of being – one rooted in love for earth and body.
If you enjoy deep dives into ancient goddess lore, the mythology of Britain and Ireland and the hidden history of women, then there will be plenty to interest you here. Additionally, many women who are teachers of embodiment or are themselves running spiritual business will find it useful to understand the historical framework of women's disembodiment as it explains so much about the epidemic of women's emotional and physical challenges today. Miriam's workshops are highly engaging, often moving and packed full of well-researched information delivered in her uniquely warm and irreverent way. This will be an inspiring and empowering way to spend you Sunday.
Miriam has spent the last decade working with women in the field of menstrual & sexual embodiment.
Since a young age she's been intrigued by Goddess Spirituality and has spent much of her life studying, researching and teaching on this theme.
She believes that restoring the goddess will enact a wave of healing for all beings and is a vital aspect in returning to a healthy relationship with the feminine.
This workshop is an offering for the women in Miriam's community, made with love. It comes with prayers interwoven that it may bring healing for those women who know deep in their bones that they are here to be part of the movement to unearth the goddess and restore her to rightful place.
