Awakening the Goddess: Clay, Sound & Movement
October 26 and Nov 7, 2025

Join Mary Jane Lundy and Maryz for a journey of clay, creativity, and women’s connection.
This two-part workshop invites you to call forth your inner Goddess and give her form through ritual, clay, sound, and joyful movement.
In our first gathering, we will arrive in circle with gentle Goddess yoga, breath, and chant — practices that open the heart and awaken the Goddess within. From this place of grounding and intention, you’ll hand-build a clay Goddess figure, a personal symbol of strength, beauty, and creativity. Working with clay, with its earthy and ancient presence, becomes an act of devotion — shaping not only form, but a reflection of your feminine spirit.
Two weeks later, we will reunite to receive and celebrate the now-fired Goddesses. This evening will be a Goddess Journey into Sacred Sound, Movement & Rituals—  to nurture and empower the creative feminine energy that pulse through us all.

We can’t wait to welcome you into the circle.

This weekend's journey is a sacred invitation for all women longing to slow down, rest, and mend —an invitation to embark on a sacred path of self-care and rejuvenation.

In deep relaxation, we create a sanctuary where healing can unfold, mending the neglected parts of ourselves and nurturing harmony amid turbulent times. Through gentle yogic practices, self-care, sound healing, nature’s embrace, toning/chanting, creativity, Languid Euphoria Dance, journaling, and sharing circles, we will discover the peace that dwells within—an oasis of serenity in the heart of our being.
