[Upbeat Music Starts]
Hey it's Lauren Avriel here at VAE Network
and we're here at Love Long Beach Festival
here in California, right out on the water
We're gonna go hang out with some goddesses today,
You should come with us...
[Music plays]
It was a beautiful day of fun in the sun
and of course Goddess Workshops were happenin'
...Women's Circle
But that's not the only reason we came out today
You're probably wondering why I brought you here
Given that there's so much tragic news
and important debates going on right now in the country
But the reason is to remind you
that having fun and taking time out of your life to play
is actually just as important for your overall well-being
We're not just here
to work and pay bills and worry about the economy and die
We need to remember what it's all for
ya know, you're here
to enjoy yourself.
Don't be afraid ....a lot of us feel afraid
or guilty about having fun
So I'm just here to remind you that
having fun and connecting with people
is one of the most powerful ways that
you can raise your energy, have more energy to give
feel better, raise the vibration of the planet
and also help create the world that we want to see
that's more joyful, and fun and connected
So don't be afraid to play!
That is the rule of the day
Now let's go hang out with some goddesses!
Hi!!! Hellooo!!!
I am here with the Priestess of Play!
And Goddesses of Gaia
And Sun Dancer!
Goddesses of Gaia!
We are here with Goddesses of Gaia, Hello ladies!
Hello!
Goddesses of Gaia is a sisterhood
It's a bonding of a tribe of women
that holds space together for healing for themselves
and for Mama Gaia, the Earth, the planet
We come together in sisterhood and we share wisdom,
we share our gifts
we hold space for women to really come together
and realize their Godd-essence
Their truest potential as natural authority
shamans of the earth
Ase!
One of the deepest intentions for me in starting Goddesses of Gaia
is to remind everybody that we are gods and goddesses of earth
that we already are in heaven on earth
And so with each gathering we really hold that vibration,
of just like we're whole, we're perfect, we're divine
And every person I interact with I just really hold that intention of
I hope...I hope that you feel loved
I hope that you feel seen, I hope that you feel honored when you come to our gatherings
because we are all family, we are all soul tribe
You're a goddess, you're a goddess, you're a goddess, you're a goddess!
The more than we can be in that essence
and remember our divinity
it's like you know....life doesn't feel so heavy anymore
What I'm finding really incredible about this entire movement
this entire goddess consciousness
is that it is not centrally located in one
place
I'm finding women circles popping everywhere
because collectively we're waking up
And by the sheer nature of the feminine essence
we collaborate, we don't compete,
we urge each other to grow
We create platforms together that are
cooperative, communicative,
collective and totally sharing
And that is probably the most juicy kernel
about feminine based spaces, this
goddess movement , this revival
is the we have enough.
We have enough to share, we
have enough to eat, we have enough to give
We have enough to teach each other
so that we can all elevate
I think it's so incredible and important that
we have a group of women surrounding us
this like Goddess energy to hold, to know that you have people holding that space around you
Just this group of beings inviting everyone in
to play games, and beautify and drink tea
and just spread love and knowledge
So a lot of men see the the rise of the feminine that we're seeing now with all these goddesses everywhere
and they maybe get a little bit nervous
So I wanted to see what the goddesses' take was on this worldwide Rise of the Feminine
that we're seeing and how that balances with the masculine?
The patriarchal rule lasted about 2,000 years or so- before that was a matriarchal rule
There's been a transformation of this planet from the 3D world to the 5D
and in that time and space in order to heal Mama Gaia, our earth, our home
in the 5D world as heaven on earth right now,
we are in need of healing,  right?
So we are the caretakers,
naturally we've been born with a womb that births ideas,
it births human beings,
it births.....whole new worlds!
This time and space right now the Women are coming back
to balance out the energies on earth,
to dissolve away ego and competition
We're here to hold space and love and that's what it's about
So the boys don't have anything to be worried about?
Petra you got anything?
No! Absolutely not,
For me, the coming back into the Feminine
is also coming back into our intuition and our innate knowing
I grew up just very much in the mind you know
Very much about like staying in line
Being in status quo is a very masculine way of thinking and being
and it was never really encouraged to explore who I am on the inside
What are your unique gifts?
It's like you got to be this way or it's not going to work out
And I see now that the world is awakening to our unique gifts
and our ability to create things like
looking at all the young entrepreneurs
look at how the Internet has changed self-expression
and we're coming back into our intuition
ya know, it's everything
because we're all connected and
acknowledging the beautiful feminine aspects of ourselves
whether you're a man or a woman brings
us back into wholeness
and into feeling
to being connected to the earth, the plants, the sky and eachother
from a heart space... not just from a mental space
because that's what causes the problems, the war, the lack mentality
If we really tune into our feminine body, the Yin, whatever you want to call it
That space that's a lot of times ignored
It's all within us
I think it's beautiful that men and women can both have masculine and feminine energy
goddess and god energy
and being open to exploring whatever's out there
There's men here today,
and there's men around always who are able to be open
It's so beautiful to see all these men come out as well
shining their feminine
no longer suppressing the feminine and
seeing our emotional health as something unimportant
Why was that so ashamed for so long?
That you can't talk about your feelings,
You have to be the man of the household?
That's old paradigm! You can be whatever you want to be
And it's so amazing when men are connected to that
They honor women better, they honor their mothers better,
they communicate better
Themselves...better
They honor themselves better, they understand themselves better
And they're hot! I want to add that
They're SO HOT!!! YASSS!!!
Feminine men....come on down! Woo!
Ya heard it from the Goddesses here first!
Anything else? To add to that?
Oh Natasha hello!!
I think a powerful piece about coming back to that intuition
that innate nature that we all carry,
as men and women, feminine masculine, complete balanced whole integrated beings
is that it really opens up a space for us to come into
the power of our uniqueness
and I think that really supports the dissolution, the transformation
of that competition, manipulation, one
thing is better than the other...
I fit into this box / I don't fit into this box
from that innate feeling place of just pure nature
not one tree is like another tree, not one pinecomb
is going to be exactly like another pinecomb
That space to just come into our own unique diversity
Yea!
[Music]
I feel that my my mission here is to remember that
all of life is play
that it doesn't have to be so serious and so heavy
We're just havin' a good time
and it's so important to play because
we lose our humaness when we don't
we lose our youth, we lose sight of ourselves
When really we're just beings that love to love
and share and enjoy
So we host monthly women circles. We also host retreats
called Wild Women's Weekend
and that is an opportunity to experience sisterhood like never before
and why I say that is because every retreat is so unique
because the people coming are unique,
everyone shares a gift that's never gonna be the same
We just really get to drop in and be ourselves
and we're just connecting back with our essence
connecting back with Mother Gaia
playing, singing, healing, supporting eachother...
Getting raw, wild and free!
[Waw!]
We can ask for a Goddess presence in public spaces now
We don't have to hide and it feels good
It feels really good to see women
growing into that incredible power that is so innate within them
And I think Goddesses of Gaia has created a loving platform for me to share my gifts
and that's really really special about this collective
Oh my gosh! Get in on this!! Get in on this!
[Chanting] We Are The Goddesses of Gaia!
We Are The Goddesses of Gaia!
