INNER ALCHEMY FOR WOMEN
A TIME FOR WOMEN TO AWAKEN
FEMININE MYSTERIES’ RETREATS
A woman’s nature is mysterious, incomprehensible to the linear mind and the world of sensory perception.
As women, today we intuit possibilities that are mind shattering. We sense abysmal and glorious depths that sometimes frighten us. We yearn, we desire… apparently impossible things! And these seem right, natural, just and necessary. We are compelled into action, although the leadership of the past no longer suits us. We know that we know, although we don’t quite know what it is that we know. These irrational perceptions radically alter us, our conception of our society, the world and ourselves. With deep gratitude for what has gone on before, knowing that our time has come, we now seek genuine feminine attainment, governance and administration that is not based on the models of the past.
The problem is that the systems that have served us in the past do not include an understanding of the intricacies of women. They are based on the needs of the average population and affect women only through the exercise of mental prowess, rather than through the cultivation of her own precarious and unpredictable sensibility. Women are different. Not better or worse. The time has come for a woman to understand her apparent incongruencies with the system, one erected on male abilities and performance.
Long ago, a woman learned about her own nature in temples with her elders, keeping the tradition of a “veiled” Isis, but today those veils have fallen. Woman is experiencing a mystery that can be confusing, perturbing and agonizing. This is because a woman’s development is not logical. Woman is built to manage the ebb and flow of creation. She has always been a weaver and a birther, a shaker and an initiator, as easy in the depths of fear, insecurity, and anxiety, as she is executing functions and caretaking in the world. The time has come for her to construct a cohesive bridge between social and inner life, between the visible and the invisible that is surfacing from within her.
A woman can no longer bear to be a reflection of another, or follow established patterns. With every fibre of her being she knows that there is more to life. Her supposed obligations literally feel like a corset she is no longer willing to wear. Woman has matured and now wears the badge of discernment; she understands at last the important distinction between commitments to others and the greater commitment to Self. An overwhelming sense of Justice leads her, one that whispers truth, equilibrium and order for all.
Women are natural visionaries, incorporating wordlessly the path of feminine mysteries. With every step, every glance, a woman knows truth from falsity, reality from appearance. She walks the razor-thin line between thought and feeling as she develops Consciousness and distinguishes it from the thousand laws, obligations, judgments, prejudices, and instructions handed down to her. Her invincible strength in handling emotions without destroying the source from which they spring, reminds us that there is no turning back.
It has never been about what a woman does or what she attains. It is ultimately about the comprehension of the supreme illogical reality that she embodies; it is about the management of self and the worlds that she contains. When a woman knows that she knows, she receives the revelation of The Law – the one that draws everything together: what some call Love and others Truth. She is the foundation of the world. A woman’s relationship with a man was never about self-development but about inner awakening and companionship in total equality and difference.
Woman breathes the language of sentience beyond words, which is why it has taken her so long to understand the vocabulary and faculties of her heart as Intelligence. She yearns to be and express the Infinite that she is. She discovers herself and her divine function through resonance. Unlike in the systems of the past, she needs no instruction, only Presence and the confidence that only another woman can inspire in her.
Now is the time for women to awaken and remember themselves. Now is a time for the revelation of ‘Feminine Mysteries’.
OPEN LETTER TO WOMEN
Dear Woman,
I hope you will feel that this letter comes from a space that calls as much to your intelligence as to your heart. In fact, it is an appeal to an unprecedented kind of work that is wholly feminine, not just in words but also in quality. I am contacting women from all parts of the world who know that they can be and do more for the world, women who yearn to live without veils, but also without strategies.
We are tired of groups and training programs whose aim is to learn skills and more “doing”. We are hungry for inner support, understanding, intimacy and genuine respect for who we are, rather than what we do! The recognition we crave can only come through experience within a depth that often frightens us, but that is, none the less, an essential part of our nature.
Before going any further, I must tell you about what this work is NOT: It is not the equivalent to a “women’s circle”; it is not about spells or incantations; it is not against relationships or men in any way. It is not about “doing” anything at all. It is not informational. A woman is not the contents of her mind, she is not the way she appears, or what she elicits in another.
This work IS about reaching your inner core and finding safety and wisdom there that will sustain you, guide you, and allow you to be a source of illumination and joy to those around you. It provides the space that nothing, no one, and nowhere else provides, among women in the kind of silence we access as ancient priestesses. A modern woman does not know herself. She is not the content of her mind or the way she appears. A woman responds to a unique structure. She is built to function in a certain way that is not determined from the outside.
The work that needs to be done with women cannot happen at a distance, through words. Particularly where women are concerned, there must be direct contact and personal experience. This is the way we, as women, work. This is why I have felt deeply moved to create the retreat training-program I describe below.
Long ago, women learned about themselves with other women. More than the tales told, faculties and powers were given through transmission and alignment. Today this doesn’t exist. I am building such a group. I share with women what I have learned and taught for decades, now focussed on women’s unique structure. It leads to gaining a first hand experience on the nature of feminine perception and the scope of our influence. Your influence and your abilities.
The work is deeply transformational, not merely remedial. It is for the woman who is ready to risk everything to find herself. It is about modern Persephone. It is about the woman Initiate in today’s world.
My book, “The Inner Woman” (available through Amazon) speaks women’s language of intimacy. My e-book series “The Feminine Solution” provides further information for women.
The next “Feminine Mysteries” retreat is posted under Events. Hope very much to see you there!
Yours,
ZULMA
