2021 Women's Annual Retreat
Mastering the Practices
with: Patricia Cockerill & Jo Mooy
Available online in 2021
Online in short segments - Recorded for Later Viewing
Only open to students who attended 2020 Retreat
Due to ongoing concerns with Covid-19, the annual Women's Spiritual Retreat will be presented in a different format. Instead of an all-day in-person Retreat, the 2021 Retreat will be conducted in shorter recorded video segments.
We've discovered that the Advanced Practices presented at previous retreats are not well understood, and in many cases, not being done as instructed. Two of the most powerful teachings of 2020 - The Garden of Eden and Transforming Emotions - need further review and actual live practice. Therefore the 2021 Retreat will spend much more time on them and other selected teachings to make sure they are well understood and used properly. These practices are highly advanced and not taught in other venues. They work with current world situations (or personal ones) that will empower individuals to overcome negativity and rise above their perceived limitations.
The Retreat will be presented LIVE in multiple segments and then Video-Recorded so participants will have a secure link to the teachings that they can watch over and over. The meditations are also included as free downloads from a secure link. To register or for more info please contact jomooy@gmail.com

Meditation - The Art & Practice
by Patricia Cockerill & Jo Mooy
"I love this book! It works because you have been there and done it, and you speak with truth, from the heart! Anyone who gets into meditation needs to read it!" Author / Astrologer Cal Garrison
Patricia Cockerill and Jo Mooy, founders of the Women's Meditation Circle, have published Meditation -
The Art and Practice through Transformation Publishing in St. Pete. The book introduces readers to their most meaningful lineage of teachers over 40 years of study. The Kriya Yoga lineage originated with Paramahansa Yogananda, followed by his direct disciple Roy Eugene Davis. Sri SN Goenka's teachings were focused on Vipassana breath meditation. The last teacher is Inayat Khan's with his treatises on sound.
The book simplifies then distills the topics into easy summaries: What is Meditation - Why Meditate - Types of Meditations - How to Meditate. It also includes actual meditation practices. The book will be available at the Women's Meditations
starting in October - and at the Women's Retreats.

Visions for 2020 - Held on Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice Ceremony was held Dec. 21st with participants from across the spiritual community of southwest Florida. They included dancers, drummers, singers and the Threshold Choir. The Mabon Children who brought their Visions for 2020.
These children recognize that times have changed. Instead of wishing for Santa Claus, these children had more pressing concerns on their minds. They asked that "There be no more school shootings - that animals are protected - that the oceans remain clean - and adults figure out what to do."
Visions collected from the gathering were more personl. In 2020 they asked to "remove my limiting beliefs - to find my birth mother - that my son stop drugs - that I become pregnant - that I am able to forgive - that peace comes in my lifetime - that people stop hating each other." Into The Field we place those Visions - expecting them to become!
To seal the ceremony, a Mandala of stones collected from around the world was assembled. To end the ceremony the men, women and children sang the visionary anthem of John Lennon - IMAGINE.
