on the third, i posted about wishing there could be a therapy group for conflicted old women and then an addendum on 6/5 in response to comments: "to become a therapy group we would need to be Real time and that's something beyond my reach. We would also need a facilitator. We would need to ask the Universe for that."
on the 6th, i received an email from Wendy Golden Levett entitled Gathering around the Well. She wondered what might become if we gathered on zoom for a Circle of Friends? she offered to facilitate such a gathering. Non~judgemental, confidential, no cost. i went back and forth all morning, reading and reading her mail, thinking i must have dreamed it. It was as if no less than Carl Jung himself or Marion Woodman herself had appeared.
i have never zoomed.
we have mailed. And it's true. She has offered.
a lot of us know Wendy from Jude's Magic Feather Project. Know of her oh so tender and Beauty full work with children and textiles in her studio in Toronto. She is an extremely gifted Jungian therapist who has facilitated women's circles from around the world for over 30 years. here are some fragments from those emails:
"because Wendy's work values the unconscious world within each of us, she will Guide us as deeply as each would like to go pertaining to any subject you might be considering to raise in our group. We can talk about textiles, inner work, outer work, health, spiritual issues, the earth, family, solitude, and other ideas where one is called into relationship."
"It is a group to facilitate a longing, an interest in each of us, to deepen our relationships with other humans, our precious earth and all the life that pulses and gives us pause…both Joy and Suffering. Consciousness changes things."
twice now, typepad has cut me off doing a "security check". and deleted paragraphs. I'll finish in morning.
but to leave….i saw a new kind of lizard today. Dark but with light outlines along body and legs. and they lifted their head just enough to show me they have a blue throat…light blue, but vibrant
email me with thoughts
Saturday MORNING, 6/10
i typed that much and already Typepad flashed that security check thing on the screen…..eeeeeeeeeeee I will remain undaunted. No te rindas, grace, ok so
This has all been so spontaneous. There is hope to begin the first of July. i have a lot to learn. Alyssia is my tech person and she and Emrie will be in Michigan at that Grandma Greatgrandma's place for a week. We will be pushing it. But it seems important to not hesitate.
what we will need to do FIRST is find out how many of Us are interested in trying. Make a List. and take a survey about Time of day…this will be complicated…We are of such varied time zones, countries. and really, what day of the week. enough for the moment.
I'll leave this post up a couple days. keep adding to it here as thoughts arise.
this is just so amazing to me. a Threshold. a Once in a LifeTime Opportunity…that phrase once in a lifetime taking on a different meaning at 77 years. I am SOOOOOOO Happy to even be considering this happening…and maybe that's one of the first things i would "bring to the Well"…..how do i reconcile great personal happiness with the pervasive Angst in this world?
so if you are interested, please Email me and add any thoughts you might have. We will form this as We go. Before i get cut off again, i'll go for now and come back later today.
Love and Love and more
