Camping spots available and other great news!!

Artemis

Accommodation at the Retreat Centre is filling up fast, but good news for intrepid men and women :  there are camping spots available in the Retreat grounds with hot showers and toilets!

Attending the Goddess Festival as a camper, and including all meals, will cost you R650 for the entire weekend!

This Festival will never take place in this way again.  The price of the tickets only cover expenses - priestesses are not being paid and workshop presenters have offered their time and energy without any compensation :  in fact, everyone is paying the full price of attending the Festival.  Such is our love and devotion to the Goddess, Divine Mother, Queen of Heaven and Great Mother of us All!  She who is as black as the night;  as white as the purest virgin thought and as red as our passionate blood.

In 2008, after many years of pilgrimages to the Great Mother, I decided to take the plunge and organise the first International Goddess Conference in South Africa.  It was a huge co-operative between many people and wonderfully supported and carried by Andrea and Kobus of Artemis (www.artemis.co.za), the owners and caretakers of the sacred land on which the conference was held.

My life took a drastic change after the conference and I became an Acharya for a spiritual organisation and trained in the tradition of Kundalini and Tantra Yoga.

Last year I set the date for this year's Goddess Festival and I created a Facebook page.  I left the page out there, hoping to find a suitable venue.  Aja and I tried a number of places, but everything was already booked up for the Wesak weekend.  Until Deveshni contacted me and found The Blue Butterfly Retreat Centre within a few hours!  I took that as to be Her nod to me to go ahead!

This Goddess Festival will be the birthing of the great international Sacred Feminine Conference and Festival to be held during the week of Wesak Full Moon 25 May 2012 on the sacred lands of Artemis once again.

We need the Presence of the Divine Mother! She tells us She has always been there in Love.  She is the Knower and the known.  She teaches that Father/Mother is One.  She teaches that our Souls were born from the Love Union of the One, the Sacred Fire;  the Cosmic Lovers in Light and in Matter.  She teaches that Her Love is alive in us, as the Mother Ray (Ma-ry), as the fire of the Kundalini, the divine Shakty.
