April 25th 2010 - Spiral Workshop

Once again we used the Bognor Community Centre as our venue to gather together for our Red Tent Gathering. Having made the Labyrinth the theme last time, we decided to explore the different energies of the Spiral, and how the Spiral plays a part in life.

After the usual opening refreshments, we sat in our circle and passed the talking stick around to introduce ourselves. We then went on to discuss Spirals, how they can be found in so many different creatures, parts of our body, and spirals of energy in weather and even water. A fascinating conversation that brought about facts and opinions that we all learned something from. The display was available to view with shells and images of the like of fractals, an ear drum and spiralling weather conditions.

Before taking our walk around the Spiral, we did a Spiral meditation that brought about amazing emotions and energies. It was then time for most of us to take to the art and craft room, whilst we took it in turns to actually walk the Spiral. We all found it to be totally different to the Labyrinth, making most of us feel wound up as we reached the centre, then a feeling of release as we made our way out. Everyone got similar results whilst all came out with different messages or answers. Again, so fascinating that a shape mapped out by pieces of paper, can have such powerful energies.

The creative part of the gathering resulted in some very colourful and meaningful pieces of artwork. We then ended with the Global Sisterhood Meditation, but not before we had enjoyed our social time chatting and sharing our afternoon refreshments.

It was certainly a rewarding and powerful gathering, with much sharing of friendship and wisdom.

Another great Red Tent Gathering with a great bunch of women. As usual though, how ever long we set aside it's never long enough.
