A thank you note to you all,

Thank you so much for such a profound and moving weekend. I so loved exploring your wildness and most certainly your preciousness. Thank you for your vulnerability. Thank you for your tenderness and your fierce power. Thank you for your full engaging in the varied and yet wildly felt processes offered all weekend long. Thank you for passion and tears, laughter, screaming, seducing:)…right company, right wellness.

It is in this truly holistic; mind, body, spirit environment that allows us feminine beings to blossom. Even into the unknown and into our darker or hidden parts, which are ultimately our buried treasure. A paradox that leaves us feeling open and complete even if just for a moment. Gorgeous work, women! Thank you so much!

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
-Mary Oliver

“All of the facilitators created such a warm, safe haven to explore & express my shadow side. I discovered that my power, wholeness and authenticity comes from tapping into and embracing this side of me. The variety of exercises allowed me to go into and express my big emotions and passion! I feel empowered and liberated to offer my gifts to the world as a result of this wonderful weekend. Thank you!”
~ Margaret Sladewski, Integration & Life Coach

“I discovered what my darker parts really look like and how to embody that in ways that empower me. I appreciate the role model instruction of the facilitators – they were loving, confident and authentic in a divine way”
~ Michelle, Organizational Change Consultant & Coach

Wild Woman at the Edge
What is at the Edge is always the beginning of new directions
There is no “Right Way” only the way that we choose
There is no “Right Time” only that which feels timely
there are no “Consequences” only the ways things evolve
Dancing at the edge is a delicate dance of balance…
of merging and emerging in the “No-Place”
Between words and images
Between silence and sound
Between what is dying away and what is coming to be.
In this birthing place of the future
Remember to be gentle and kind and tender with yourself.

Shadow Women,

Thank you for ushering the Spring with your passion and unwavering presence.

I am in complete awe at the vulnerability, trust and rawness that you each brought to the weekend. Because of you bravery and transparency, this weekend stirred up the whisperings of future offerings; I am left utterly inspired to create more weekends dedicated to the shadow.

Be tender with yourself:
Many of you worked more deeply that you expected to and many of you worked more deeply than you realize. It is common to remain “altered” for a week or two. Honor your psyche by nourishing yourself; lots of water, healthy food and sleep; staying away from environments, music, movies which are jarring or abrasive. -Contact any of the facilitators if you feel you need support

From Shift to Full Integration:

January 2010 Shadow Women,

Thank you for ushering the New Year with your passion and unwavering presence.

The garden would not be Eden without the Serpent…

~ How might it be important for you to harness the power of your strong emotions to fuel your passions?

Discover how your current state is your gift and know new steps you might take to live with courage, willingness and self-love. Practice to be the warm, feminine woman in touch with your feelings and your power…Find ways to support yourself with new tools that will be useful to you in your path at this time.

~ What would it mean for your life if you could re-cast your inner demons as your inner allies?

We learn to fear our bigger emotions, not only because it brings disapproval from others; we may begin to ask ourselves questions that serve to block or invalidate our own expression of our bigger emotions: “are my big emotions legitimate?” “Do I have the right?” “What is even useful about my big emotions?

(This message was sent out to me today to the December 2009 Path, Power & Potential women’s weekend participants and facilitators…)

A thank you note to you all,

Thank you so much for such an profound and moving weekend. Saturday was go, go, go and Sunday was like a thick sweet molasses. I am still swimming in it all…

It is in this truly holistic; mind, body, spirit environment that allows us feminine beings to blossom. And to use Sabrina’s use of the word “perfume” – that is is the taking in of each others perfume and attending to one another that gets one out of her own experience and yet even more fully into her own experience. A paradox that leaves us feeling open and complete even if just for a moment. This moment was sooo much!

many many many butterfly kisses and wild woman growls!

Thank YOU…

Warmly,
Jessica Hadari

What is possible to build within yourself has far greater depth and breadth when built with one another in community than anything you might attempt on your own. - Who couldn’t use a good clearing supported by a plethora of juicy powerful women, bringing their gifts to be at your service?

Treasures to expect during this nourishing & truly mind-blowing weekend:

A love letter to you all,

Thank you, thank you SO much for such an astounding, simple, complex, profound weekend.

I really got to see and feel how “a gentle unfolding into the mystery just now…” (~Jack Kornfield) is often the most powerful and useful path to opening the heart and bodies of women.

Thank you for your gentleness. Thank you for your conscious communication. Thank you for your commitment to the varied and yet wildly compatible processes offered all weekend long. Thank you for good food and for good tears, good laughter, singing and good company. I believe that it is in “goodness” and being good to one another that allows us feminine beings to flourish.

Our opening and gentle unfolding happens in the absence of competition, jealousy, hierarchy – we truly fortify one another in our support and willingness to sit with one another as sisters again and again and again…

Blessings, blessings, blessings. Many Kisses and many Hugs….

Softly,
Jessica Hadari

Four Extraordinary Women’s Weekends

You are here to create the life you have always wanted; more than achieving your goals and having every experience you have ever dreamed of – but to consciously wander into the untouched chasms of your being. To explore the yawning fissure of your feminine power and to climb within the deep clefts in the surface of your heart. These are experiences you are entitled to have as a woman, ripening in these new days and in this new age.

Here’s some of what you can expect when you attend these educational and experiential weekends

Steep yourself in new knowledge and experiences. Gain new perspectives around spirituality, health, personal growth and much much more.

Feel your depth as a woman and be witnessed and celebrated by other women.

Practice to be the warm, feminine woman in touch with your feelings and your power. Find ways to support yourself with new tools that will be useful to you in your path at this time.

Discover how your current state is your gift – Know new steps you might take to live with courage, willingness and self-love.

See yourself as the brilliant, beautiful and wonderful woman you really are. Connect to your authentic self – growing into a way of being that’s incredibly powerful and also sustainable.

Learn the true art of manifesting and mastering your life — Aligning your core beliefs with your desires with the help of many teachers, healers and matriarchs…

Find your juice. Find your feeling. It’s this sharing and deepening of yourfeeling state that provides the juice in your life and relationships. Use this opportunity to experience a profound claiming of your radiance and your life path!
