Dear Beloveds!

     Over the last five years, there have been many changes. In the coming years, more changes await us to align with our higher consciousness of sublime devotion to one another.

     Ning has requested some changes which we are still reviewing. Rest assured that we have your email addresses, if you submitted them, and will update you in the coming weeks.

     We count on your submitting your comments, suggestions, questions, and feedback to re-ignite this community. Honoring the Feminine is a noble endeavor. Blending Love & Spirituality is a soothing approach to the many changes we all experience.

     Meanwhile, you may keep in contact with us via our GoddessRising.netwebsite.

Our programs support those who are in relationship as well as those who are not. But in each one, we celebrate both the Divine Masculine as well as the Divine Feminine. Over the last several years, you may have noticed a shift in the collective consciousness for those on this journey. Men and women are finding more balance. Men are rising in a more evolved masculinity. Women are softening in their innate feminine sensibilities.

     Whether you join us in person in our favorite spots for workshops & retreats in Maui, San Diego, Marin, Sonoma, or the Mid-Atlantic, or elsewhere, as well as online here through our Ning portal, you will discover that you are aligned with the next leap in evolutionary consciousness. As a collective, we have needed these catalysts for our awakening. As a result, our hearts are better able to love more purely and our voices are able to communicate more clearly.

     However, the evolutionary journey is infinite & eternal; so we will pace ourselves for optimum synergy. Remember to cultivate your individual spiritual practices so you may enjoy navigating forward with more grace & dignity. Every time you gaze into the eyes of someone, sense the energies behind & through those windows of the soul. Feel your being respond & guide you with poise & clarity. This is a practice unto itself.

      Though we may travel back & forth though these coming changes, remember, we are here to support you in your awakening & path to the Beloved. Soon we may meet again in the reflection of Love's gaze. Be good to yourself & care for every person who crosses your path. We are indeed walking each other home.

     With much Love & Grace,

     Teresa

Reviewing our members, it's clear that we have a few hundred members who come from so many countries! Perhaps I should add groups for specific regions...

Happy New Year to YOU!

We bring you this message to celebrate the forward motion of our collective evolution.
These last two years have brought challenges for many of our friends & family, if not ourselves.

May this message uplift & inspire you...!

During the course of one's Life, it is natural to need a sabbatical. 
Perhaps you may view these last couple of years as such for you...?
Or, you can just look forward now & deepen your vision & commitment to your Life!

This GODDESS RISING community began decades ago!
We discovered that Honoring the Sacred Feminine is indeed a path to spiritual liberation,
for men as well as women.

First, the Goddess Handbook emerged, from the heart-centered White Tantra teachings
of our PATH to the BELOVED workshops & social events. Each year, a deeper focus
evolved for sincere hearts wanting more meaningful love relationships.

Many people will agree that "modern societies" tend to be hyper-cerebral, so a
return to the Heart is very balancing, very quickly. But this requires intention,
focus, time, and support, in various forms to suit individual sensibilities.

We know that "sex sells" and many women, not all, have resorted to sex work or
have been brought into prostitution or sex trafficking because they lacked self-respect.
I experienced people thinking I was doing sex work because I was so comfortable
in my own skin, in my Vision, and my Goddess journey of self-realization.

While the coming year & further may require even more grounded, navigational skills,
we will benefit even more from heart-centered practices. GODDESS RISING, for our
purposes, is a practice of spiritual liberation, emotional healing, and physical rejuvenation.

Honoring the Sacred Feminine means recognizing the wisdom of "heart-consciousness"
and the sacredness of the feminine soul. Of course this means practicing kindness,
compassion, forgiveness, and practicing a sublime tenderness toward our Beloveds.
How refreshing to drop into our Hearts! Feel how quickly you regain a sense of balance.

If your heart is not finding this too easy, here is a lovely Heart Healing Meditation I
recommend...it's just over an hour & very soothing to heal & welcome your Heart's Love.
The tenderness required for sublime ecstasy requires each of us to be comfortable in
our own hearts.

In the coming months & years, we look forward to hearing from you:
What do you want from this group? This brief intake form will quickly help us plan
for the community building events & resources to assist YOU on your PATH to the BELOVED.
Please complete this at your earliest convenience. Thank you!!!

Honoring the Sacred Feminine leads to sublime subspace for many couples, where men
learn to honor the Divine Masculine, practice speaking their truth & preparing themselves
to truly be allies of the Sacred Feminine in all women. For couples this is essential.

Although contemporary norms in many cultures seemingly allow women free rein in their
lives, we like to stay mindful of the women everywhere who really need support to reclaim
their innocence & safety. Imagine a world where wise women are more prevalent.
Imagine a world where most men grow into noble warriors for  truth & justice.

In this community, we weave together wisdom from every culture, for our global village is
becoming more integrated and we recognize the value of studying Goddess Worship as
a path to liberation for both men & women. Perhaps you've already experienced this?

When a woman feels safe & secure in her body & her home, in her psyche & in her vision,
she attracts a higher quality of man to be her Life Partner. Long-term compatibility requires 
a multi-faceted approach to building trust, respect & having fun. Communication & self-
awareness on the part of both men & women is paramount.

Consider what you need to manifest your True Beloved & live from the Vision as if he or
she is already in your Life, consciously co-creating with you. Dream a bigger Dream, tell
a new story, dare to be happy, and prepare for the advance class in Conscious Loving.

We look forward to hearing from you!!

Dear Awakening Beings!

We are delighted to announce our workshops for the next six months will be in the Carlsbad area of San Diego County in California! Here we will host workshops & retreats at Foxhaven Carlsbad, one of our three wellness centers in the USA. The other two are in Tiburon, CA in Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the other in Towson, MD, in Baltimore County. We have events in Marin, as well as the Eastern Shore, and hopefully, in Europe next Summer.

This coming weekend, we'll be offering an afternoon meditation workshop for women, to help dissolve the armor and allow their radiance to shine forth. With an array of techniques, we'll encourage women to feel their soul shining through and enhance their well-being. As we nourish our hearts and souls, we help make this world a better place, for we are more equipped  to be of  service to others when we are well-cared for ourselves.

Greeting Beloveds!

We are now up to almost 200 members here! On Facebook, we have many more. This group gives us more dedicated online space to cultivate our conversations and learn how to further this romantic paradigm & lifestyle that celebrate the sacred, mystical feminine wisdom which nourishes the heart & soul as we innovate Love in the 21st Century. On this PATH to the BELOVED, we must first find our inner divinity. From there, we can more clearly see That in others. As we explore our soul's essence, we learn to better articulate our needs and wants in a heart-based way. This nurtures our fulfillment in Love.

As we progress on this Path, we discover the many options for Ecstatic Lifestyles. Some of us celebrating the rising feminine in our lives still crave masculine leadership, some prefer more feminine leadership, and others want both, in varying proportions.

Keep exploring! Life is change. Evolution happens as innovative necessities. As we continue exploring, we do our shadow work to dissolve the old wounds, and make room for our birthright of Bliss. Sometimes, we need to first grow as individuals before we can successfully attract & keep our Life Mate. Everyone is different. Your path is your path!

Some enjoy exploring their shadow healing with power play. This can be a dedicated FLR or MLR or switch between the two. As we grow more comfortable with more joyful lives, we discover the sublime found as Angels Rising. As a community of conscious, heart-based men and women, we are pioneers in this realm of loving relationships.

During this last year, I've taken a sabbatical to go within and process the transition of my Beloved Mother, who taught me so much about FLR Tantra, though she would never have called it that.

Now I'm back to further this work in the world.

The Sacred Feminine is a most precious gift to our ever-evolving world. We are the expanding Universe, as we innovate choices & options in our lives, given the desires and insights which arise through our daily lives.

I'm eager to hear from you again, to hear your ideas, your challenges, and learn what's been working for you in the area of your interpersonal romantic relationships, with regards to "Honoring the Feminine".

As you may know, GODDESS RISING is not only Female Led Relationships, but a fundamental desire to Honor the Sacred Feminine in each and every human being: the yin essence which deepens our compassion, forgiveness, and tenderness, as well as the feisty, primal, sensuous shakti essence which dances so effortlessly with the kundalini energy.

This group is a forum for singles and couples, men and women, who want to learn more about the divine in us all, through the sacred feminine, evolving masculine, and the social, sustainable innovations resulting from our pioneering work.

Please take some time to reflect on your relationship history, your heart's desires moving forward, and how you can be best supported on your journey. We are planning live retreats in major cities which are closest to the largest GODDESS RISING members. Let us know your preferences for topics, formats, and such as we send out surveys to help us help you!

Meanwhile, enjoy these last precious weeks of Summer and prepare for the deeper meditations which loom on the horizon.

Together we are making this world a better place. Our mission is to help men become their best S'elves, while honoring women to become ecstatic, mystical, & luminous Goddesses.

Each couple must learn to cultivate agreements based on their respective values & understanding. We are here to help with that. Whether you are leaning toward female-led, male-led, or 50-50 models of romantic relationships, we have the resources to help you navigate this circuitous Path to the Beloved.

All roads lead to OM!

Honoring the Sacred Feminine & the Divine Masculine brings Joy, Sanity, and stronger families and communities to our world.

Blessed Be Forever!

In a world where Love is most needed, this group welcomes men & women wanting to cultivate more fulfilling, conscious love relationships.

Some people ask, Why must you use the word, Goddess? The answer is that Goddess as a word, endeavors to express the highest potential for the sacred feminine. Both the sacred & the feminine are paramount to this Path to the Beloved, where Relationship is a Spiritual Practice.

Others ask, but what about honoring Masculine Wisdom? In response to that, let's first review the best information regarding how to best end oppression. The general consensus is that four majors oppressions plague this world: adultism (oppression of young people), racism (prejudice against skin color), classism (economic oppression), and sexism (prejudice against gender). Most of the problems between men & women, it can be said, boils down to male-female misunderstandings. Henry Higgins, in My Fair Lady, asks, "Why can't a woman be more like a man?" Many men today still wish women were more like a man. Conversely, women can often rail against their partners for not being more sensitive, considerate, and attentive.

To help this, let's take a historical view & see how women have been denied some basic human & civil rights for millennia, around the world. Not everywhere, but in the majority of locations, women have suffered violence & oppression simply because they are women. This sexism has led to unhappy homes for everyone, especially children who suffer multiple divorces. I'm sure if you have divorced parents, you learned some valuable social skills that you might not have otherwise, but divorce is rarely a happy occasion. Yes, it can be a tremendous relief, but once we love someone, we usually do not really stop loving them.

So, in this era of ecological sustainability, we now ponder how we might approach social sustainability. Shunning someone from our lives who we once held near & dear seems counter-productive, though we often need some breathing room when we're not bringing out the best in one another. Yet, blended families today are finding ways to grow their families and thus heal the very disruptive emotional wounding of men & women not getting what they want from one another.

Do you know what you want from your beloved? Do you recognize that you are on a Path to the Beloved? With insights from Honoring the Feminine, men are learning the dance of Evolving the Masculine. The undeniable Alchemy of Attraction reflects the potency of polarities. Awakened Aware Spiritual Singles as well as Conscious Couples Co-Creating agree, as a women discovers her Goddess Bliss, both partners become happier. Men want to love & be loved. Men want to conscious co-create fulfilling love relationships. Women learning to express their wishes find very eager partners, usually. And when their partner is not eager, the healing which wants to happen usually leads to a very grateful partner who then becomes eager to conscious co-create.

Whether you are looking for dating or relationship advice, marriage counseling or a dating coach, I have dedicated most of my Life now to helping men & women cultivate sublime lives of loving ecstasy.

There is the Maui Mermaid Tribe for mer-men & mer-women, as well as their admirers. The Maui Goddess Women's Retreats. Eagle Medicine Leadership Retreats, Path to the Beloved: Relationship as Spiritual Practice Retreats, Goddess Bliss Retreats to deepen feminine ecstasy, and many others.

There is a course & coaching program for Mystic Lovers, offering ancient secrets for modern lovers. Bhakti Tantra introduces you to Heart-Centered Relationship Skills, FLR Tantra explores what happens when a woman is fully in charge of what happens in her interactions or relationship with her beloved. As lovers become more in tune with themselves, the Divine & their beloveds, they become as Angels Rising.

Over the last few years, I've wanted to bring people together who want to celebrate the sacred feminine in their lives. Women who want to explore their femininity & sacredness will find support to assist them on their journey. Men who are longing for more information about attracting a Goddess into their lives will be delighted to find others doing the same thing. Singles will have a meeting place to chat & discuss relevant topics. And couples will find resources to nurture their love relationships. Together we are a growing number of people who are making this world a better place by Honoring the Feminine & the Masculine, exploring the wisdom of the masculine & feminine archetypes, thus honoring Gaia, our planet.

Bring your questions, comments, and suggestions! We're all listening...and curious to hear everyone's personal & collective vision. Creating safe space for both men & women is what this community is all about so they we may better explore ecstatic lifestyles.

Namaste forever!

Men have over the Millennia caused enough women to feel unsafe in their own homes, their villages, their world, that this group GODDESS RISING wants to honor the men here & everywhere who consciously or unconsciously live & make choices which serve women's physical, emotional, mental & spiritual safety.  There is an evolutionary trajectory unfurling which invites every heart & soul to shine its Divine Light.  As women become safe, they become more rational, playful & beautiful.  Watching a woman unfold her fabulous garments of Joy, Ecstasy, Radiance & Delight, is like watching a fragrant Rose open up to the Sun.  Namaste forever!

This is indeed one of the most sensual times of the Northern Hemisphere...when the long summer days filled with golden Light flood our days & carry us long into the evening hours. So much has been transpiring that I've barely had a chance to visit this site, but I've been working behind the scenes to create more & more opportunities & bring in more people to join us!

We now have 85 members! We may have to begin subscriptions or get a sponsor once we reach the 150 mark, so if you know of some business which would find it mutually beneficial to sponsor our group, the 150+ cost is only $20 a month total. As a community, we could have more well-known speakers with subscriptions or sponsors, too, as well as lovely retreats & socials. Right now we are found in many different countries. It's so lovely to see all of your faces! Be sure & review the groups & join the ones you most enjoy so we can see which special topics to focus on.

Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FLRTantra

I found the "goddessrising" twitter user & am hoping she'll let us have it as she's not used it in a couple years now. There are lots of conversations & celebrations about to unfold, so deepen your center & reach out to the infinite joy which breathes life into us all!

She heard him say, "I love you with my whole being...I've probably waited lifetimes to meet you." She then felt this must be the most profound thing anyone's ever said to her.

It’s clear: Magic begins in the Heart...so love your self, love your life, love what you love, love who you love, and then watch magic begin to unfold all around you...butterflies will appear to celebrate your victory! New ideas will manifest which will call you with delight. Life can be
easy & fun & rewarding & intoxicating...because Life is magical...but only because of Love...

Yesterday, a hummingbird flew right in front of her and stared deep into her eyes. She & that hummingbird held each other's gaze for several seconds, so curious about one another, his big eyes meeting her amazement.

So magical, he did a little dance, stared into her angelic eyes, and then flew
away. Hummingbirds often fly around her, but this one stared deep into her
child-like eyes. Perhaps a messenger, an angel, perhaps just a reminder, or one
of her family who's passed away coming to say hello?

Love doesn't mean perfection...it means being pulled deep into the Heart...often where words lose meaning & experience is everything...in the moments of awakening.

Namaste forever!

To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart. And to sing it to them when they have forgotten. (via Malia Laurelin)

We've a vast array of groups & hope you'll join every one of them which most appeals to you & your journey at this time...

Let's get the synergy to activate our group & spark more delight in each person's world. By joining the group, your presence alone will activate that consciousness & permeate out through not only our network but also the world.

This is a simple way of making a positive impact in your world while deepening your spiritual practice. The more conscious awareness you bring to this, the more everyone benefits.

You are SO loved!

Namaste
