Awen

The Deep Well of Inspiration

Awen, the Gaelic term for inspiration, was the warp and weave of life for the ancient Celts, giving meaning to their eloquence, courage, love and joy. It was Awen that allowed them to flourish in creativity and to live full-on in every experience, imbuing the span and spectacle of life with soulful meaning and clarity of purpose.

This six month exploration in our online community is about finding a path of heart and soul in troubled and uncertain times by recognizing and cultivating wonder and awe in daily life.

Through writing, working with the mythic imagination, symbols, depth psychology, and universal spiritual teachings, Christina and Mary Angelon will navigate through six bhavas (moods) of wonder, taking us through doorways, along pathways, and sometimes down the back alleys of our human experience to awaken our relationship with Reality, as it is.

We will meet Wednesday evenings from 4:00-5:30 Pacific Time, organized around the Six Bhavas of Wonder:
