I’m having a FULL CIRCLE moment!
A return to a beginning. And yet the start of something entirely new.
I’m buzzing with energy after having an EXHILARATING conversation with one of my mentors the other morning.
We’re collaborating!
More on that soon… but first, let me tell you a story.
It’s a story of a young woman recovering from low self-esteem, lost in her cultural programming to please others yet hungry to find herself.
It’s a story of young woman waking up to the whispers of something more… idealist in her principles and tenacious in her search for a new way.
YES. That woman is me.
I was 25. I was finishing my BA at Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. Fascinated with “human performance” and what made people succeed (or not), my studies led me to Experiential Education.
I became a ropes course facilitator. This equipped me with the skills to lead groups through outdoor experiential exercises and obstacles for team and community development.
Little did I know that that was really the GATEWAY for something else.
(Life is like that sometimes. You think you’re preparing for one thing, when really it’s a step to something else.)
One day I was contacted by a group of women who were going to hold a sacred gathering. I thought I was going to lead them through a ropes course.
Instead, I was CRACKED OPEN to a new world. I was synchronistically brought together with a community of women, a path of being and my spiritual mentor.
Those who know me well and clients who have heard me speak have listened to me emotionally declare (at least once) how this way of being – deeply grounded in the Divine Feminine – made me who I am today.
I would not be who I am if it had not been for the impeccable presence and teaching of this woman, Connor Sauer.
(This is a picture of us in Bali in 2011.)
There is so much more to the story. It will continue to be told. It will continue to unfold.
For now I want to celebrate a vision becoming manifest, as well as what it means for more women.
I had dreamed that one day, I’d get to collaborate with her. That one day, our skills and talents would come together in service to women in a bigger way.
One of her teachings is that there’s a responsibility to leadership and to holding medicine. There’s a process that includes a maturation and readiness to be the vehicle for it.
(That’s why some people have such a hard time with manifesting. They just want the “thing”, and don’t tend to the “becoming” needed to be ready for it. Anyway….)
The time had to be right for us to come together in a powerful alliance. That time has arrived.
I can see now how I’ve been preparing for this. Even the intense challenges I’ve faced this year are starting to reveal a new meaning! (Thank God/Goddess!)
And so…
…it is my honor to have her be one of my featured speakers for Wealthy Goddess LIVE 2016!
And to let you women know who are called … that you are in for an epic treat!
OK, LIFE! I’m open and listening in trust.
With all that I am,
Kendra E Thornbury, MA
ps. This is the best time to secure your spot for the event.
The EARLY EARLY Bird Special is the lowest it will be.
pps. Connor is a pioneer, an elder and way shower who carries a rare depth of wisdom. You will love her!
