THE 1ST SISTERHOOD EMPOWERMENT RING GATHERING
MONDAY, JANUARY 15TH, 2007, SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND
"My Sisters, you are a necessary part of creation. Without you, there would be a void in the world. Your energy, space and time on this planet is worthful!"
- Angelique Shofar
The 1st Official Sisterhood Empowerment Gathering was a celebration of our greatness and a loving success!! Over 25 women gathered together in pursuit of love, wisdom, courage, friendship, support and a renewal that each of us so deeply desire. Their presence spoke of their commitment, active participation and aspiration to live a more prosperous, weathly, peaceful and wholesome life!
With self-acknowledgment, determination and the support of each other, we are realizing and manifesting our dreams. I envision the success and happiness of all my dear Sisters! My success is theirs and their success is mine!
You are a GODDESS!! You are a QUEEN reclaiming her throne! Hold your self in the highest esteem and the world will bow at your feet.
Woman it is time to once again honor the seasons and cycle of nature, as did our ancestors! The return to a consciousness where Mother Nature is respected, loved, revered and celebrated is now! Each seasonal transition can initiate a unique understanding of you, your body and your relations. Through this connection and the natural cycles of the Earth, Sun, Moon and stars, we deepen our understanding of life HERSELF. If you pay close attention and observe how the body of the Earth is transforming throughout the year, SHE will speak to you, as SHE did to our ancestors, and SHE can guide you towards the rituals that create and celebrate love and life!
