Welcome! And thank you for being curious about The Goddess Hour. If you are searching for connection, this could be for you. Each event is different and is filled with Love and Laughter.I am given a theme for the evening, usually on the day of the event itself and this then becomes our focus for the session, as we follow the guidance and teachings that arise through spoken word, meditation and sharing.They are beautiful spontaneous affairs that are always different and sometimes surprising! Most importantly they foster a great sense of connection within and without and everyone feels empowered and inspired through attending.I was guided by the great Goddess Isis to run the first of these events back in May of 2023 and they have been taking place ever since, on the last Wednesday of the month.They really are special events. Come to one or come to many! There are no rules. If you would welcome the opportunity to connect with other like-minded women, then maybe this is for you...A sacred hour just for you, to feel held, nurtured and cherished. Oh and I always pull everyone a Goddess Card at the end of the session. Some beautiful individual guidance from the Goddesses themselves...Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or take the plunge and come along to the next one. The only way you will discover if it&#39;s for you, like anything in life, is to take part...! And this year, more than ever, feels like it&#39;s time that we do things that we have never done before...
