I am very happy to have the privilege of co-leading a two day workshop next fall with incredible singer, artist, Ann Mortifee, titled “The Mystery and Power of the Divine Feminine.” Ann’s presence, voice and music have been very healing and powerful for me since first hearing her perform at the Royal York Hotel in the mid-80’s.

If you have been in one of my workshops over the years, you probably heard her music.
She is coming to Emmanuel college to do a two day event. The registration is now open at the link below. Registration is limited and there is an early-bird pricing until the end of June.

  • Date: Friday, October 19 & Saturday, October 20, 2018
  • Time: 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
  • Location: Emmanuel College, 75 Queen’s Park Cres. E., Toronto, ON,    Chapel (EM 319)
Women hold the wisdom and mystery of the Divine Feminine in their bodies.  Through music, story, conversation and ritual, this workshop will inspire participants to move beyond perfectionism and duty into our body-selves.  There we will be encouraged to trust the deeper journey of unfolding where the small self dissolves and we touch the essential self for which we yearn.  This is the time to breathe in the mysterious possibility that life now offers and our world needs.  This workshop will be of interest to women from any religious tradition who wishes to move beyond the confines of patriarchy.
