Welcome Back To Yourself!

The Inspiration

I’m back, it has been forever since I have reached out. I have missed you and want to share what is up, this new inspiration and accumulation of truth that has guided me into myself, with a lot of powerful guidance and help:) Whooow, what a time! I am accelerating, crystalizing, and co-creating like crazy. In this newness of time, ways of being and more truth are revealing themselves and I can’t hold back any longer.

This new emergent self was really activated several months ago when I learned what it means to not “Diminish Myself”. This glorious sensation came during the “Dance of the Magda” facilitated by Lady Graell at the GFest in Shasta, CA. This was the kind of transformational experience I felt on a cellular level. Lady Graell created a container that connected me to my soul memory. It was an experience that revitalized my being and strengthened my core. So much so, that I want to share it in my community.

When we began to share our stories I learned about her youth in NY, her adventures traveling the World as a Priestess, and how she started her College. The more we talked, the more our laughter came tumbling out like a new spring flowing with joy. Her presence filled me instantly with truth and love, overflowing with inspiration and gratitude for the wisdom she lives. Soon, I learned that she and her husband love Mendocino and we started to plan. So here we are combining our visions and co-creating an event for November.

New Offerings

I have two inspirations to share with you today, both are potent and full of sweet honey goodness.

1. *Oracle Drum Song

The Oracle Drum Song is a wonderful adventure into the bio-spiritual ecology of your soul. It is an intuitive journey tool to open the door to your sacred realm to discern the needed wisdom of this unique moment and time. Calling upon the Art of Pollination we will seek the mystic nectar of our inner life and sing into the blossom in our being.

The Oracle session will include:

   •   Guided breath and grounding practice to set the intention for the reading

   •   Meditative rhythm journey with the frame drum

   •   Intuitive song to access your multidimensional self and recall what is most needed at this time.

   •   Digital Recording of the session

*I will offer a free session for the first 3 lucky ones who sign up:)

2. Dance the Earth Temples Alive

The second offering is a co-creation with Lady Graell and myself. Creating sacred space together to help woman dance their Living Earth Temples Alive with the combination of the Intuitive Drum Song and the Dance of the Magda.

This is the beginning of a series that activates the drum, song, and dance of the divine feminine arts. The session will begin with creating a sacred sound space through Frame Drum Rhythms and Tones of Intuitive Drum Song Meditation. This guided meditation in sound health will infuse you with vibration, and frequencies sourced to calm, alleviate tension, heighten your awareness, and aid in achieving the Alpha state of consciousness. From honored teachers linked to ancestral knowledge, I will traverse the lineage of Celtic, Mediterranean, and Nordic heritages, as a drum and song holder for over two decades. I am honored to co-create this space with Lady Graell as she guides us in the Dance of the Magda.

Dance of the Madga

Navigated by your temple Womb, this empowering and raw somatic practice of sacred movement taps you into the expressions of your yoni’s voice.

We will share a deep group transmission, and the witnessing will activate our ancient memories of the Red Tent Sisterhood and the Lineage of the Magda.

Priestess Graell
Lady Graell

A Life Coach of the Sacred she has held a Goddess Temple since 2001. Presently the Founder and Director of the Goddess Temple of Ashland and its Priestess College, She is a Midwife of the Veils serving Childbirth, First Blood, Sex, Marriage, Parenting, Divorce, Sovereignty, Death, and Rebirth.

Her profound and personal communion with nature fuels her passion for sharing practical skills on walking the Path of Sacred Living.

This special and intimate experience will be held in a beautiful dome within the forest of Albion on the farm (Location will be given upon registration). We are inviting 13 women to this gathering.

Preregistration ends November 4th, 2022

* If it is a clear night, Mister Valendar, Graell’s husband, will be holding space as sacred male fire tenders. (Inquire if you would like to join the Men’s Circle.)

Sliding Scale $43-$113

Pay what you can to cover the cost of the event and travel for Lady Graell. We are abundant in our gifts and open to sharing what we can. I invite you to offer your sacred reciprocity as you are able. Inquire about payment options.

This will be an extraordinary gathering to ignite our path forward with unique soul nourishment. The space we create together will help you tend your inner garden and shake awake your being through the amplified connection and entrainment of this vibrant circle full of Earth tenders and Daughters of the Divine. I so look forward to the opportunity to share this with you.

In Love and Honey,

Lavender Grace

Making of Magic

The accelerator is on!
This spilling over of mystic thought, connection and magic funnels through me, distills and concentrates into goodness.
The kind that permeates and sustains.
The type that goes deep to the root so high winds may blow, but nothing is blown down, blown over, blown up,  Rooted!
It is like this today.
Here I share………………

2. Amazing Community of Musicians and Dancers – This is an inspiration from Middle Eastern Music and Dance Camp, Mendocino CA USA . Especially from the words of Omar Faruk Tekbilek. It was his words that likened camp to an off shoot of ancient Alexandria. How all cultures would come together and meet to share and exchange and return home all the richer for it. Thank you all (more than I can count) for your beautiful offerings of amazing music, song, dance and friendship. I am ever so grateful for our time together.🙏♥️🙏
