Margaret

BIO

Margaret was born in Far North Queensland in 1963 and as child of the 60’s resolutely started on a life of questioning and quite rebellion for the rest of her life. As a young mother of three daughters she has been involved in every parent run co-operative known to mankind and spent much of her free time doing voluntary work for various social justice or environmental causes. As boredom set in- some time after her second child- she turned her thirst for questioning into a relentless pursuit of knowledge which has resulted in the acquisition of a couple of degrees. She has a Bachelor of Secondary Education, a Graduate Diploma in Women’s Studies, and a Masters in Criminology.

By the time she had started her Post Doctoral Thesis, for which she received an Australian Post Graduate Award, she realised that Academia held little in the way of honest action or interest for her. This coincided with the breakdown of her marriage and a very forceful visit from spirit…which was to remind her that she is here for a reason. Twelve months after spirits first visit she was introduced to the Psychedelic Trance Community and the first steps in her spiritual liberation began, via the medium of  mind-altering substances, transcendental, spiritual healing and tribal living. At her third outdoor party after a massive dose of LSD (who knew those tiny bits of paper could do that??) she fell into a three -hour trance dance that ultimately lead to her first transcendent experience which showed her that she was connected to every thing everywhere, That was 6 years ago.

Today she helps run Shamanic circles and is about to attend the 2nd Ayahuasca Conference in Iqutios Peru, followed by training and healing work with a Traditional Shaman many, many, kilometres up the Amazon. She is also embarking on a course of learning with the Daughters of the Greening, who are a global collective of women healers working on healing Mother Gaia. Ultimately her life has been about service for all and the understanding that dreams do in fact come true.

Medicine Women: Sacred Plants/Sacred Duty: The role of the Divine Feminine

FORMAT

Discussion

For the girls...As the topic of our discussioncenters around the divine fiminie and medicine work we will becreating a Mesa which will express aspects of the divine feminine. The Mesa will be constructed as part of the discussion. We welcome all women to bring a symbolic object which captures for them an aspect of the goddess. Maybe its a part of the goddess that is wounded in you, or the shadow in you or the part you celebrate the most, maybe its your intitution, or your heartspace, power, sexuality etc...etc. This Mesa is a sacred altar for medicne work and healing. If we are to aid this world all our medicine work begins within...the altar is a good way to transform that which no longer serves us. Phe is also going to join us and we can discuss dreaming and plant work...because we see more and more each day that the dream is a natural domain of plants and women.
