Each of us is on a journey involving tasks and challenges which have the power to transform us. Whether we are born with the journey template etched into our subconscious minds, or inherit the memories of our ancestors, clearly the image of the journey is worked deep into our psyches. Explore its archetypal underpinnings and discover the usefulness of understanding its many forms and components in helping us on our individual and collective life journeys.

Serious or playful, be prepared to surprise yourself. Bring a notebook, favorite pen, lunch, and respectful listening skills (critics are politely banned!). 20 Participants maximum.

Helping to Chart a Lost Continent
(First published in Other Voices International Project, Vol. 41, April 2009.)

Every woman
is part of
a lost continent
that flourished once
like Mur, Lemuria,
Atlantis,
until some ancient
cataclysm
swallowed it whole,
submerged
each woman's story
under the sea.
Fathoms deep,
we slept away
our pain for eons,
hinted at, but
best forgotten.
Now, despite that,
everywhere you look
another speck
of land appears,
thrusting itself upward
after a long and arduous
labor.
It is a delicate business,
helping to birth
a continent,
requiring every
woman-voice
to make the new/
old landmass whole
and seamless,
a foolish, fearless
heart
to chart it.
