Working with Feminine Energy

Shamanic practices and the ancients from around the world have long revered the Mother (along and in balance with the Father) for millennia - the Earth, the Great Mother, Pachamama. It is believed by many scholars that it was the eruption of violence as perpetrated by the newer, male dominated cultures that obliterated the peaceful, earth honouring ways of Goddess worship and paved the way for the strong hold of patriarchal modern belief systems and eventually the obliteration of the Goddess from religion, religious texts and teachings.

It became clear to us at the Temple that by offering ceremonies exclusively run by female healers - curanderas (working with Mother Ayahuasca, connecting to Mother Earth) that we would be connecting with Divine Feminine Energy. We believe that the spiritual awakening that we see all over the planet is an effect of the Divine Feminine being reborn in each of us again. As we were each starved from the Divine Feminine energy, it is now being craved from every angle.

In our opinion it is clear that there is an imbalance in the World at present (and probably for the past few thousand years). We live in a male dominated patriarchal game based on ego, fear, oppression, and greed. Divine Feminine Energy has been extremely suppressed in the Western World.

As we desperately seek balance and peace on our planet, and in these times of deeply disturbing and frightening world events, many of us are searching for what has been missing in modern life. We feel that the Divine feminine energy is the most critical missing element on our global spiritual path.

Divine feminine energy is comprised of qualities such as love, understanding, compassion, nurturing, and helpfulness to others. It includes tenderness, gentleness, kindness and these are the qualities that we help you to reconnect with and are the true nature of the female Shipibo healers (onanya ainbobo) who hold ayahuasca ceremonies at the Temple of the Way of Light: ceremonies that are truly lead from the heart, not from the head.
