    We are excited to offer the opportunity for members to join and experience being  a member of a Wisdom Circle.  The Circle is not a Course or class but an on-going "open topic" discussion group. 

    The purpose is to connect with other women, build your self-awareness, find support and learn from the wisdom of the group.

    It is a chance to tell our stories, and to practice deep listening. 

    The Circle meets that same time each month. If you miss or can't make it, come back next time. 

    Register soon to hold a space.

    Come join us to play with words! Beginners welcome and encouraged. Don't be intimidated, there is a poetry style for every person.

    "All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling" ~ Oscar Wilde

    "Keep your face always toward the sunshine-and shadows will fall behind you" ~ Walt Whitman

    "If you never have your really should. These things are fun and fun is good!" ~ Dr. Suess

    This drop in class meets once a month to learn about poetry and share what we’ve written. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we find a lot of wisdom and joy in the process of creating and sharing. You may be a poet and just not know it!

    ALL MEMBER MEETING

    STAGES OF MYSELF: Exploring Our Journey with the Divine Feminine

    INVITATION:

    As the Spring Equinox approaches the Founders of Crone Awakening Wisdom invite all members to celebrate the “awakening” of Spring and with that, a call to“awaken our own wisdom together.”

    This meeting is the “launch” of the first in a series offered by our Wisdom Institute that will host monthly 2025 share-shops to explore the archetypes, ages and stages, powerful energies that are activated during the unfolding journey of women. This initial session will focus on the CRONE, the mystery, mythology, magic and power of elder Women. We will build a deeper understanding of how claiming CRONE in our lives now is more relevant that ever before.

    During April through October 2025, in one share-shop per month, we will engage to investigate the ages and stages of our lives with fresh eyes. We will share our wisdom and tell our stories. We will listen with open hearts to the experiences that have shaped us. We will laugh, cry, and extend our community connections.

    We will celebrate women and the journey of our becoming. We will do all this to frame answers to a most important question: What Now, what next?

    We invite you register NOW for this energizing first gathering. The full list of monthly meetings will be posted through the Institute. The following meetings are as always, optional and we recognize that your time, availability and interest might vary.

    At the end of this series, During October, we will host a “Celebration of the Journey “with special rituals for each of the ages and stages.

    Our next read for Bookshelf Treasures is:

    Bookshelf Treasures: The Art of Loving by Eric Fromm 

    The Art of Loving:  Erich Fromm published in 1956 is a slim volume that has lasted 69 years with a number of commemorative reprints.  What makes a book endure?  Perhaps it is the topic:  Love and how to love.  May's book read will have us take a look again at what is "Love"? Is Love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. Fromm was a critic of Freud early on.  Now Freud in many ways has come and gone.  So have a number of theories, medications and novel approaches. Fromm says "love defines us; it is "the answers to the problem of human existence." 

    He was one of the very first to bring evidence that "the love of my own self is inseparably connected to the  love of any other human being?  Sound familiar?  And then he goes about telling us how to do it!  Join us for a time travel adventure right back to now.

    Class Begins: Tuesday, May 20th

    Time:  6:00PM - 7:30PM (Mountain Time)

    Join us for the Second Regional In-Person CAW Gathering in Red Feather Lakes, CO.

    MESSAGES FROM THE ELEMENTS: Aligning with the Seasons, Directions, and Archetypes

    When: Thursday September 18th-Sunday September 21st 2025.

    Location:

    Drala Mountain Retreat Center

    151 Shambala Way, Red Feather Lakes, CO 80545

    www.dralamountain.org


    Please Join us in opening our hearts, minds, souls, and spirit to the messages from nature as we explore the natural alignment between the Elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth; the Four Seasons; and the Archetypes.

    We will explore how the ancient wisdom and energies of the Elements can guide us toward harmony and balance. These foundational energies of creation align with each of the Four Directions, the four Seasons, and the four Archetypes of the Feminine journey. They hold powerful insights and guidance that, when understood and integrated, help us tap into a greater sense of connection with our purpose, integrity, power, and inner peace.

    In this unique gathering in the beautiful mountains of Colorado, you’ll discover how each of the four Elements, Seasons, and Archetypes is aligned with one of the four core stages of a woman’s journey: Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, and Crone. We honor the wisdom embodied in each stage.

    We welcome you to join us as we awaken together the Wisdom of the Elements within the joy of connection and community.

    For those who have attended gatherings before, expect to see our old CAW/CC favorites - Storytelling, Wisdom Circles, Workshops, Honoring the Elders and our Follies. If you are new to us, we look forward to you experiencing these wonderful features for yourself!
