She is in All – and in both Man and Woman

Posted by Joy & filed under Being, Essence, Huna, Joyful Loving, Most Intimate, Secret Garden, Written Posts.

Why we sit in same gender circles in Secret Garden When we invite men and women to sit in circles of their own gender, it is because something is moving that asks for the particular holding and exploratory journeying of sisterhood and brotherhood, in the loose community we are always becoming anew (Secret Garden is not
