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!

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)

(Girl)Do you think I'm pretty?
(Boy)NO
(Girl)Do you want to be with me forever
(Boy)NO...
(Girl)Would you cry if I walked away?
(Boy)No
...she heard enough and was hurt, she walked away
tears ran down her face.

The boy grabbed her arm and
said:
(Boy)- You're not pretty, you're BEAUTIFUL
(Boy)- I don't want to be with you ...forever, I NEED to be with you forever...
(Boy)- and I wouldn't cry if you walked away... I would DIE!!!!
(Boy whispers)- Please stay with me...
(Girl whispers)- I will...
