Today I Danced Naked

I have just returned from a weeklong intensive with 10 other beautiful women..... All I can say is.... WOW... What an awesome, life-changing week!

We laughed and cried and danced, shared our stories and our pain, and championed each other to see the beauty in our Selves. It wasn't always easy, comfortable, or fun. But we all did it. And we all emerged as changed women... more confident, more loving toward ourselves, more whole.

I highly recommend this experience to every female person on the planet. (see link for more info below)

This morning I wrote this poem in honor of those 10 women and our week together. And I dedicate it to all women everywhere.

Today I danced naked

in celebration of my beautiful sisters who taught me to love my body;

Who saw the beauty in me when I could not

and held up a mirror in a way that I could see too...

and believe.

Today I danced naked

for all the times I could not dance

and the times I couldn't even stand naked;

For all the women who are still afraid to dance

and for those who still hide from their True Femininity...

and Power.

Today I danced naked

for all the pain and abuse we have lived in this lifetime

and in lifetimes past;

For all my sisters everywhere who still live in pain and oppression

in that dungeon of fear...

and self-loathing.

Today I danced naked

to bring forth better times and a deeper understanding

of who we are as Sacred Sisters;

To call in the beauty and wholeness and wisdom

of the Goddess Energy in all of us...

our Divine Feminine.

In celebration of my Self,

I dance naked today and tomorrow

and into Eternity;

For the beautiful, luscious, juicy, sensual Women that we are,

that our Light may shine brightly and courageously as we go forth and live...

our Truth.

Here's to continuing the journey.... dancing, loving, healing.... honoring ourselves and the gifts we embody.
