Come Experience the Divine in your Body: Attend the MYSTIC Archetype Workshop
    Mystics like Peaceful Warriors, Lovers, Sacred Prostitutes and Elder archetypes have been survivors. They are women and men who listen with their bodies and their hearts to the Divine. Mystics like these other four archetypes have "been their own authority" as to living their lives with Spirit as they experience it, (with or without the approval of others). Queer people by their very nature demonstrate that kind of survivorship that is filled with artistic creativity, intuition, body wisdom, healing and compasionate-power that make us mystical as both individuals and as tribes.
    Preparation for the Workshop: 1.)  bring images, memorabilia, sacred objects, etc. that connect you with some aspect of the Divine for a small personal altar;  2.) muse on how you experience the Divine through your body. You might also consider an ancestor, saint, or holy person who has inspired you thus far on your journey that you might welcome into our circle; 3.) for those who like readings:  Entering the Castle by Caroline Myss,  7 Paths to God: The Ways to the Mystic by Joan Boryshenko, or The Essential Gay Mystic by Andrew Harvey.
