I spent Friday night through Sunday afternoon in a workshop with Jean Hindle, somatic wise woman, and artist and wise teacher Ellen Ziegler, exploring the body, creativity and the Mandala of the Five Dakinis. What a powerful, fertile, and sometimes harrowing process.  Eight brave women went within and through movement, meditation, sound, and various mediums of art work, transformed obstructed emotions (the really pretty ones like greed, jealousy, longing, arrogance, speediness, anger) into potential for enlightened, creative energy. 

The Five Dakinis are from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and represent the feminine wisdom energy. 

I am wiped.
