I am working today, coming back from “Women comes into their own” seminar. Yesterday I have made a part of my travel with, in alphabetical order, Barbara, Dorian, Isabelle, Isabelle, Hala, and Yolanda. It is like I come from a place which is very far from here.

When we took the train in Nunsplet all of us was without ticket..normally I can guess we are very clever about it, but yesterday we arrived really at the latest minute and the automatic machine was too complicated and slow for aloud us to buy it (male automatic machine? J ) . Yolanda come into the train for first, and she told to the controller she was without ticket…I sow him with a very wrinkled face, waving his had saying “no”…mmmh the situation wasn’t really fair…then the all of us come into the train, Dorian and Isabelle asked with a big smile how to solve the situation. The controller look around him, he was surrounded by women…and finally he told us with a smile “ok go in but in Aamelsfort you will buy your ticket ok?”

I like to think that he has felt very clearly our force and our energy and decide to let us go to the place that our force and energy were bringing us. What I have felt, after these days (toooooo short!!!!) is the force of the feminine when women are together and a real collaboration and exchange and sharing is activated…it is something special that happened and that makes me still vibrating…

What exactly have I brought with me (for the moment, the journey of exploration has just begun):

Ø       the pleasure to go indeep with something like playing : we have used a Jung based model (warrior, magician, sovereign and lovers) to discover our lights and shadows…we have played with these archetypes, moving from one to another, and I have now, for example, a clearer idea about why it is so difficult for me to say “no”

Ø       the shared joy of feel free to name things (even when it is not easy thank you Josephine)

Ø       the possibility not to hide when I feel vulnerable (thank you MaryAnne)

And of course thank you to our fantastic team of facilitators!!

I have a suggestion for next year: I would like to have a program for women that stands for the whole week with of course some integration in the rest of the seminar. I think that it is so important to learn to use feminine energy for the building of our future that it is perhaps useful to have a dedicated place for let her emerging. There is something special that happens when women are together, but it takes time…
