Sponsored by the Global Mother Divine Organization, and the MUM Women’s Institute at Maharishi University of Management

We warmly invite all the women of our community to enjoy a most memorable Mother’s Day this Sunday by coming together with a truly renaissance woman—Ann Mortifee—to celebrate being, “In Love With the Mystery.”
This event continues the theme of the October 2010 event with the Indigenous Grandmothers: powerful, nourishing, wise women and cultural visionaries—whose work upholds and unfolds the beauty, power and mystery of the creative, evolutionary force of Almighty Nature—coming together with the women of our community to enliven this divinely nourishing quality in the heart of each of us….

Come spend an afternoon with a truly Renaissance Woman! Ann Mortifee is a unique, award-winning performing artist, singer, songwriter, and author. Ann and her husband, world-renowned flautist, Paul Horn, are coming to share with our community their artistic genius.

In this special event for women, Ann will:

  • Share with us her journey into the divine, creative, feminine principle
  • Transport us with her unique musical performance
  • Inspire us with stories of her work with indigenous women shamans and musicians
  • Engage us with her poetic prose that expresses the mystery that resides in the depths of our Being

…all illuminated by Maharishi’s piercing insights into the “reality of the far beyond.”

Upcoming Workshop at Esalen

This workshop originally scheduled for the Week of October 24-29, 2010, has been cancelled.

Sacred Union: A Merging of Opposites

Paul Horn and Ann Mortifee

Cultures throughout the world have used the wheel to symbolize unity, stillness, and movement through the cycles of renewal, including the Buddhist wheel of life, the Native American medicine wheel, and the Hindu mandala, among others. Based on Ann Mortifee’s upcoming book, The Wheel of Integration, this workshop creates a map to help identify where we need to focus our attention if we wish to become more balanced and integrated as individuals.

Join jazz musician Paul Horn and Canadian vocalist and arts-and-culture leader Ann Mortifee as they bring together their unique and shared life experiences as husband and wife.

“To become fully alive in all our humanness and vibrant in our spiritual essence, a merging of opposites needs to occur,” write Ann and Paul. “Strength with vulnerability, active with receptive, known with unknown. Through music, story, improvisation, meditation, and work with the wheel, the intention for this workshop will be to stabilize and free the body, expand yet focus the mind, and awaken and embody the spirit.”

Come ready to dive deep and to have a lot of fun along the way.
