Deepening
Connections with you and the world!
The theme that is running
through my life lately seems to be about deepening connections, with
Self, with others, with Life, with Spirit, with my work… In
that light, I have been clearing up e-mail malfunctions. Please
note my new e-mail address: sacredspiral@comcast.net. I
am also committing to staying in touch with you all through an e-mail
newsletter. I am intending that this newsletter be interesting, informative
and inviting. Upcoming articles will include such topics as: life
as a spiritual path, the Sacred Spiral concept, the holographic nature
of life, working with our masculine and feminine energies, polarity theory,
and moving beyond the life's dualities. I will also be sharing thoughts
and reflections from my work, patterns that seem to be "up" for
many people, what I am discovering about working with them, and whatever
else Spirit decides to bring through me. I am realizing that when
one of us "does the work" to clear a pattern or heal a wound,
that work impacts those around us to a larger degree than we may be aware. By
sharing with you in this way, and "broadcasting" with the Spiral
Garden (see below), the energy of our healing sends an even greater ripple
out into the world.
Please feel
free to forward this newsletter to friends who might be interested.
If
you are not interested in receiving further newsletters, please send a
return e-mail to sacredspiral@comcast.net with "unsubscribe" in
the subject heading.
Tuesday Evening Talks: "Walking the Sacred Spiralsm:
Life as A Spiritual Path"
Many of you have heard me mention
my desire to start giving informal talks to share what I've learned about
healing, the evolutionary process, uncovering mind/body patterns, and
understanding the holographic nature of life. Well,
the time has come!
Tuesday, August 12th was the first "Walking the
Sacred Spiral: Exploring Life As A Spiritual Path" gathering from
7:30 - 9:30 p.m., at our home in Sudbury. It was a great success.
One participant commented "I
had no idea what to expect, but this was much more than I could have imagined." Subsequent
gatherings will be held August 26th, September 9th and each Tuesday evening
thereafter. A contribution of $20 is requested. In order to make
it easy for people to "check it out", your first visit is free.
You are invited to attend with whatever frequency feels right to you. Arrivals
are welcomed as early as 7pm to chat, connect with others, or walk the
spiral garden.
Components of the evening include guided meditation, lecturettes,
personal sharing, Q and A, transformational tools and techniques. The
structure and content will be open and guided by Spirit according to the
energies coming through and the issues that are "up" for those
in attendance.
This is similar to the work that I did with the Sacred
Spiral group, which was meeting Friday afternoons, this past year and
which has evolved into our spiritual community. I am very excited
about opening this up and sharing my work in this way with larger groups
of people. Please
do spread the word. Feel free to pass this e-mail or the attached
flyer on to anyone you feel might be interested and open to what I have
to offer. I am delighted to talk with anyone who wonders if this
is a fit for them.
I am also available to bring the experience to your group. Contact
me for details.
Couple-to-Couple Counseling
in collaboration with John Howe of Howe To Transform
People
are continually commenting on the amazing relationship that John and
I have. We ourselves have been amazed and delighted to experience
the continued growth and deepening of our love, the ease with which we
deal with issues between us, and the sacredness with which we each hold
our relationship. It has become clear to us over time that our way
of being with each other and the tools we use are something special that
we can offer to other couples. In this light, we have been "Beta
testing" our relationship counseling for the past six months and
are now ready to publicly offer spiritually-based relationship counseling
for individuals, couples, families, partners or groups. We integrate
talk, tools, techniques, and energy work. We shift focus as needed
from individual to couple, inner work to relational work, practical to
emotional to spiritual, using "what's up" to uncover and clear
the patterns and deeper issues that are being triggered.
This couple-to-couple
counseling provides listening and feedback from both the masculine and
feminine perspectives. This approach also
affords the opportunity to split into pairs or work as a foursome, as
the situation calls for.
We also offer individual follow-up coaching or
energy work to enhance the benefits of the counseling. This multi-modal
approach provides a powerful integrated healing program.
We welcome your
referrals. The first session is "on us."
The Spiral Garden
The Spiral Garden is a sacred space
under construction in our front yard. It is the site of an energy vortex.
Many people have noticed the healing energy of this place, the sense of
peace and calm that is present here. The Spiral Garden is similar to a
labyrinth in that it is a contemplative space but the shape is simpler. A
dual spiral, garden and walkway, bordered by four large oak trees representing
the four directions, spirals in to center and a yin/yang-shaped garden
with fountain and meditation stump. The construction is being guided step
by step by Spirit. At
this point, people are invited to bring rocks used to border the pathway.
Rocks about the size of 2-4 human hearts are great. We also need
large flat rocks for the walkway. Rocks from your yard, from sacred
places, places needing healing, special places, healing places, wherever
you travel, any rock that calls to you, let yourself be guided. Rocks
hold the energy of their place of origin, so through these rocks we are
energetically connecting our healing intentions and the work of Sacred
Spiral Healing Arts to many places on the Earth.
You are invited
to come and walk the Sacred Spiral before or after a session or from
7-7:30 Tuesday evenings!
More to come!
I welcome your feedback. How can this newsletter better serve you?
Thank you all for your on-going love and support.
Bright Blessings!
Marie Patrice
P.S. I am now using my full given name, Marie Patrice, which better
fits me energetically at this point in my life. It's fine to continue
to call me Pat. If you choose to use a shorter form than Marie Patrice,
Patrice or Pat feels more like me than Marie (my mom's and grandmother's
name). Thanks!
