This life-altering trip to France will focus on the sacred teachings of Mary Magdalene through the 7 spiritual principles of her Goddess Mystery School™ Teachings which were received by Joan Clark through her channeled work with Mary Magdalene on one of her own pilgrimages to France years ago.
The Sacred Seven GMS™ Teachings of - Humility, Forgiveness, Compassion, Trust, Love, Ecstatic Joy and Oneness are the cornerstones of this pilgrimage. We will work with one of the teachings at each site we visit in order to to gain a more intimate understanding from the heart of what they mean, for each one of us at this moment in our lives, as well as collectively.
While working with the GMS™ Teachings we will also be supported by the 7 different anointing oils and aromatic tinctures that align with these teaching to help open, integrate and align with the inner alchemy of the GMS™ Teachings.
For those interested in a spiritual pilgrimage it is necessary to remind you that— this is not a tour but a soul-calling. At each site there is something awaiting you. If you feel the call, come. I personally can attest— It will be a transforming experience.
"I am awaiting your return." —MM
"You will not find any tours or classes anywhere like Joan's. And you will meet very few individuals as special. She simply carries a much higher intention; is always well- prepared; cares deeply and compassionately about intuitively managing the energy of the group; delivers so many special touches; and shares the most clear and evolved information masterfully and egolessly."
"She has taken me so far… on the journey back to myself. I would follow her anywhere!"

This year's Moon Goddess retreat is a pilgrimage to France where we will visit sacred sites where the Goddess was received and honored. Many of the sites are now churches but were once Temples dedicated to the Goddess. It is in these places we will do our work to raise and awaken the original intention of the presence and essence of the Divine Feminine. This year's trip will be dedicated to working with the Goddess Mystery School Teachings™ which were received by Joan from her inner work with Mary Magdalene.

Full Moon Blessings!

A flower does not open before it is ready….
Today as I was looking outside my bathroom window watching the rain pour down I noticed that the tulips in the front garden were tightly closed. A voice inside my head said, “a flower does not open before it is ready. It knows deep within itself the precise moment in which it will bloom. This is also true for you as well. You must trust the universal process”.
This was the exact message that I needed to receive today. For I have been going through so many changes and felt that I must take action or else something (what I do not know) is going to happen. It’s like a deep anxiety I feel and if I don’t hurry up and make a decision-- than something is going to happen. Ever feel this?
In these moments of great change not only in our own lives but in the world around us I believe we feel that to take action is part of the soul-ution. This has always been the conditioned response to change. Take action – some action to get things moving. However, what I am coming to understand at a deeper level is– that non-action is action because unless we are truly in alignment with body, mind, soul and spirit acting in harmonious union we may be acting from a place of fear and not at all in aligment with source energy -- divine timing.
The image today really impacted as the best soul-ution in the mist of change is to remember the flowers that are not yet blooming but are in the process – and waiting for the perfect moment when everything is in divine alignment.
If you are like me, many things are changing – there is a sense of urgency on some things and other things seem to be put on the back burner. This sense of urgency is a reminder not a demand – and as we breathe into our wisdom we will recognize that we are in the process of change and when the decision to move forward and take action is right it will be in perfect alignment with everything around it.
This is what we can trust and this is what we pray for the wisdom to be in alignment with. This process is preparing us to move forward. To respond not react and to allow things to unfold in divine right order for everything has the perfect moment.
God give me the serenity to accept the things I can not change To change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
There is that perfect moment and in that all else will unfold as it aligns with the will of our soul and the good that is always waiting for us.
In this full moon in Scorpio - I invite you to call forth that wisdom. That wisdom that lies deep within the core of your soul - and to trust it. It is for you and will guide you. In changing times we need this wisdom so that we come from a new place of love instead of the old pattern of fear and powerlessness.
We are moving from our primodial thinking to evolved consciousness and so the fight and flight energy that we use to be hooked into no longer serves the path ahead.
Think of the flowers....are you in the process of opening, awakening, manifesting change and waiting for the divine moment - then be in your joy - be present and have faith in the natural rhythm and alignment of the energy within and around you.
Trust that everything will work out for your highest good - when you align body, mind, soul and spirit and await your own flowering at the exact moment where you are in alignment with love's consciousness and able to accept and receive all that is awaiting your highest good. Divine Timing is a gift to cherish!
Full Moon Blessings!
Love,
Joan ]]>http://www.joanclark.com/blog/article.php/__show_article/_a000578-000015.htm2009-05-08T15:12:51Z2009-05-08T15:12:51ZAging Pets & AromatherapySpirit le Fleur….
Your so handsome….I can’t stand it.
Our 12 year old dog, Spirit le Fleur is aging and each day I see him struggle with little things that use to come so easy to him. I watch him and I wonder--does he know what is happening? Is he aware of things changing?
I do all ...Your so handsome….I can’t stand it.
Our 12 year old dog, Spirit le Fleur is aging and each day I see him struggle with little things that use to come so easy to him. I watch him and I wonder--does he know what is happening? Is he aware of things changing?
I do all the things I know how to make him comfortable, but the fact remains – he is aging and I must accept this--as difficult as it is--so I can be there for him in a positive and uplifting way--as he has always been there for me.
I understand the emotional connection between owner and pet and I realize it is my reactions, attitudes, emotions that he responds to. It is my feelings towards his aging process that will create how he handles it. I pray each day to be strong and brave and I use my own aroamtic products to assist me in feeling calm, centered and balanced as we walk through this next stage our our realtionship together.
I believe our pets are very much intune and connected to our emotions and they can feel when we worry about them. They even at times try to make us feel better and do things that may be uncomfortable for them, just so we won’t worry about them.
I have seen many pets-- from working with my pet clients-- who are ill try to stay strong for their owners. They love us so much and sometimes they hold on longer just so we can adjust to what is happening.
Today on our walk Spirit fell a few times. His little legs are getting weak and arthritis has set in. As he fell each time he looked up at me as to say, “hey mom what is happening to me”---and at the same time he was waiting to see how I was going to respond.
I knew it was important for me to assure him it was okay, and so I said, “you are so handsome--- I can’t stand it”. I have told him that from the time I first laid eyes on him. A tiny little one pound rescue lying in a cold cage waiting to be put to sleep.
He loves it when I say that to him. It is our love banter between one another. It makes his eyes light up and his tail begins to wag and he knows---I am crazy about him. Then I always say to him “you are strong and healthy”. Words he has come to trust and that supports him to affirm his own life force. I also say this when I am pampmering him with his aromatic treatments.
Within a moment of hearing these words and feeling that I am okay he starts again.
There are so many things we as pet owners can do to assist our pets as they age. I believe the first thing is to begin with our own fears and attitudes towards the aging process of our pets. It is important we handle our emotions so we do not project them onto our pets. We have to find ways to stay strong and positive and keep the energy uplifted so our pets can age gracefully with our full and positive support.
I know that I am the one who has to adjust – not him. Pets have a way of understanding the life and death cycle--- the natural order of life.
I also believe that we can ease the aging process with natural products that can support the different ailments that begin to appear as our pets grow older.
That is why I created the Pet Alchemist – as a preventative and supportive system to assist pets staying healthy and to address the day to day conditions that may occur along the way.
As my beloved stands in front of me waiting for his nightly aromatic massage so he can settle in and have a more restful sleep – I feel grateful. How lucky I am to have him in my life. How much more I have experienced about the power of love because he is in my life.
I want to treasure every moment – so each day I support him with aromatic products to keep his immune system healthy, and to assit him as his body changes from one stage of life to another.
You too can empower your beloved companions health by taking a few moments each day to create an aromatic ritual that will improve his/her quality of life --naturally.
I believe that the power of aromatherapy has helped Spirit to have the quality of life that he has had - since he has always been a high risk dog. I am grateful for the plants and herbs of the earth -- and I am ever in awe of thier potential to assist us in being healthy.
As many of you know, I am madly in love with Spirit and all of our pets. Each day when I tell my little guy - "he's so handsome I can't stand it" I feel so blessed and full of joy - as well as grateful that he is still with me and I contribute alot of it to the power of plant spirit medicine.
I invite you to begin an aromatic journey with your pet/s. It's a beautiful experience and one that will create many beautiful moments of bonding for a life time of memories.
Our compelte line is available at www.joanclark.com
Check out:
Essential Oils good for supporting the immune system. Peppermint Black Pepper Eucalyptus Cajeput Ravensara Thyme
Pet Aromatic Massage for Supporting the Immune System
Place a few drops of your immune system blend in the palm of your hand and rub it into your pet’s coat first up the spinal area. Then gently massage outward. I like working the pads of the feet as well and he front of the chest area.
It takes just a few moments and the more consistent you are the better the results. ]]>http://www.joanclark.com/blog/article.php/__show_article/_a000578-000014.htm2009-05-07T15:56:17Z2009-05-08T14:54:27Z
