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 the author's 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 is available at the Women's Meditations and at the Women's Retreats.

2020 Winter Solstice Ceremony
Goddesses & Archetypes
A sacred Winter Solstice Ceremony was held Dec. 21st at Lido Beach in Sarasota. 13 Goddesses and Archetypes were summoned to hold the Visions for 2021. The women said goodbye to Covid and 2020. The Great Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction was recognized as the start of the Age of Aquarius where spiritual ideals would be affirmed in human consciousness.
This Video below represents the highlights of the ceremony. Everyone was masked and socially distanced as we kept the ceremony sacred. The Reiki Box names were burned and released into the Gulf in a processional. The music of Robert Boyd, a dear friend who passed in 2019, was used to overlay the sounds of the drum and ocean.
