MotherSong
Do you have a strong desire to be as close to your mother as you are to your girlfriends? Do you hope to find peace in your mother/daughter relationship?  For many of us, the mother-daughter relationship feels very uncomfortable. If, in your heart, you yearn to have a loving, adult relationship with your mother, you are not alone. Like many of us, all you want is to have an easy flow between you. Then you start to talk . . . she makes those comments . . . you start to react . . . and it happens again. The same old argument or the same stony silence. You are both left upset, empty and right back where you started. Even if you have changed over the years, the problem remains.Is it even possible to be your true self and also feel at peace with your family? Little girls forever seek approval, nurturing, comfort and belonging from their mothers, not to mention autonomy and free will! These needs don’t change with age. What does change is the way we deal with the vulnerability resulting from these needs. Healing maternal relationships is sacred work. Sacred because healing your relationship also can heal your soul and the souls of future generations. Sacred work requires respect, space, time and honouring. What really makes Mother/Daughter relationships thrive? There are three crucial steps to making the Mother/Daughter relationship flourish: 1. Understanding the Bigger Picture To really understand your mother and to be able to see her clearly, you need to understand the lineage you both come from and realise what you are carrying emotionally that belongs to your mother and foremothers that was never yours to carry. 2. Accepting Reality The truth is that some relationships may never heal. Depending on your personal circumstances, you may never arrive at the ideal mother-daughter relationship you’ve dreamt of. Instead, you can come to deep peace with what is... that you are the daughter and your mother is the mother... that you are the mother and your daughter is your daughter... Accepting reality starts with really asking what does being a mother or a daughter mean...
3. Welcoming the Spiritual To nourish your Mother/Daughter relationship, you will need to come home to Love. Not the human version of love that changes flavour depending on how our needs are met, but the big LOVE, the love that is the Spirit or the God of your understanding. To come to lasting peace with our mother we need to explore the Spirit that flows through the phase of life known as Mother, the archetype of Mother, as well as with our own Mothers and the ways we Mother our world. This starts as we make the space and time in our lives to honour Mother as sacred.
Once you can envision and understand the bigger picture, accept the reality that you are the Daughter and that your Mother holds keys to how you behold the Universal Mother and Mother Earth, once you can welcome the sacred love that brought your soul together with your mother’s in the first place, your relationship will shift. You will return to the original Mother/Daughter blueprint ~ Love. Introducing…  MotherSong
A spiritual path of motherhood. MotherSong honours your maternal lineage, soothes challenging relationships, invigorates your feminine soul and opens your heart to new ways of being.
What you need to know
MotherSong is a course for daughters who truly want to relate to their mothers in a more fulfilling way, women who long to open up and explore the richness of being a woman, and women who want to connect, deeply, to the Spirituality of the Sacred Feminine.
Each week we will explore: ● One aspect of your maternal lineage, beginning with Spirit Grandmother and finishing with Spirit Grandchild ● Seven different archetypes of Mother ● Seven feminine wounds and their healing wisdom ● Seven spiritual faces of the Sacred Mother ● and so much more! During MotherSong we’ll explore the women of your Mother’s line, but also open gateways to your own spiritual and emotional fulfilment. Focusing on your spiritual path of Motherhood, we’ll sift through your family history and your personal stories. It will always be your choice how far and how deep you go with the process. My commitment is to balance your self-responsibility with impeccable integrity and kindness. It is my intent that the safety of your heart and soul will never be compromised. About Your Guide Hello, I’m Liz, and I’ll be your guide throughout MotherSong. This course interweaves my work as a women’s counsellor, my passion for women’s spirituality and over twenty years of experience leading women’s groups and workshops. The seeds for MotherSong were given (or handed down) to me in a dream by my Great Grandmother, the week before I gave birth to my daughter. This work has changed my life and the lives of countless other women. It can change yours. MotherSong is a seven night course over seven weeks, each week delving deeper into the maternal layers. You will need to do research and some optional homework during the week. Please make sure to eat before you arrive and, for your comfort, wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle and a cushion: the floor will be our sitting area. A detailed What to Bring form will be sent to you when you book in. Next Course Dates:
