Holding Power Well

1 Mar 2010

“Holding Power Well”
afternoon workshop + evening ritual
What are the patterns of power that we don’t see? How do we find the source of our true power from within? What blocks us from being empowered, effective, courageous people? We will consider power within sacred space, and through ritual, trance, drumming, song, movement, and energy work develop the tools we need to transform destructive patterns into energies freed for change.
Both events are drug- and alcohol-free. Presented by the Milwaukee Pagan community.
Workshop:
Explore issues of power and leadership. How do we take our power and own it as a life-giving force? How do we recognize when we do have power, and use it in ways that empower others? How do we nurture and support leadership in our groups, while also holding our leaders accountable? This is a workshop for anyone who has struggled with these issues in relationships or groups. All of us have internalized models of power as domination, which often interfere when we attempt to form new structures based on power-from-within. Will you step into your own power?
Time: 2:00 p.m.- 5:00 p.m.
Location: TBA
Open Public Ritual
Celebrate the season of the returning light, step into your personal power, and hold the vision for healthy use of power in community. This ritual will be offered in the ecstatic, inclusive style of Reclaiming.
Time: doors open 6:30 p.m; ritual 7:30-9:00 pm.
Location: TBA
Costs for both workshop and ritual: sliding scale $1-100, dinner not included.
