Mother of All Things
Meditation with Peggy Rowe Ward
“I’ve spent my entire life wandering through the cathedrals and chapels of the world, seeking traces of Her—the Divine Mother, the Feminine that was supposedly erased. I’ve learned how the old Pagans, under orders from early Christians to build churches on ancient Sacred sites, hid Her in stone and symbols and architecture. She is there in the spirals, and in the hidden and not-so-hidden spaces. She is there in every place where love, healing and softness shine through the cracks of rigid dogma. In this moment, the story of the Divine Feminine continues: She who will not be silenced, She who will not stay hidden. She is here. She always has been, for She is the Sacred Thread running unbroken through it all.”
—Teresa Bilowus
For this month's meditation, led by Peggy Rowe Ward, we practice with the many faces of the Mother and the sacred feminine in all forms of life. Blood, spirit, ancestor, mother earth, holy mother, and our blood mothers.
With the recent Earth Day, the upcoming celebration of Mother's Day, and the moving image of Sister Genevieve standing in quiet, loving devotion at Pope Francis' memorial, we are reminded that the sacred feminine lives in both the everyday and the extraordinary. She is here. She always will be. She will never be silenced.
In this 30-minute practice, you’ll experience a blend of music, mindful movement and guided meditation designed to ground and connect with your body, mind and spirit.
