The Goddess Association In Australia ~ G.A.I.A. 

 

‘Women remembering’

Celebrating the Goddess of Memory

 

And we wish to say THANK YOU!

 

The heart and the magic this year’s Australian Goddess weaved was truly beautiful, and was manifest because of the amazing essence of the women who gathered. G.A.I.A. would therefore like to make special thanks to these glorious individuals…

 

Speakers and Presenters

 

We were all truly blessed by the wisdom, power and unique character of each of the women who presented at this year’s conference. In sharing their own perspectives and gifts, which were so diverse yet all steeped in Her timeless grace, the entire collective of women benefited. Each of us were gifted with the special moments and tools of strength and purpose to walk forward, more deeply connected and grateful than before.

 

And so to…

 

Our Elders thea Gaia, Marye Ann Azzarello and Shekhinah Morgan for their wisdom, courage and heart

 

Patricia Corner for her enduring commitment to weaving and leading potent ritual

 

Anita Ryan for her sense of play and the scope of her Goddess vision

 

Alicia Sherwood for so passionately retelling the ancient stories

 

Kellie Gough for bringing the seeds from their dark womb home to the light

 

Jane Meredith for helping us experience and embody the weaving of fragments and wholeness

 

Julie Walton for singing the Goddess to life in our hearts and helping us voice our own praise for Her

 

Justine Ward for her effervescent vision and strength of direction

 

Dr Patricia Rose for tempting us to understand and create our own tapestry of Goddess

A great  deal of organizing and hard work was also necessary for the Saturday nigh concert to be brought to birth. In particular, we would like to thank Future Native and Tim Fairless for their equipment, expertise and musical talent!

 

There were also many key women who made sure many tasks we managed well, so that the  conference ran smoothly,

 

Lena Barnard [for her beautiful altars especially]

Caroline Moon

Chaise Robertson

Danielle Harris

Mina Hunt

Belinda Smith

 

Your dedication to attend to anything that needed doing is greatly appreciated

 

Thank You...

 

 

Lastly, we save a very special thankyou to every, single woman who attended the conference. The gift of each woman only began with submitting their registration form and arriving at Tugun Hall. The greatest gift was their participation…even if they were at times challenged, or wary of what was unveiling during the conference. The depth of emotion and experience is always in the hands of Goddess and of each woman. A full and honest heart, courage and commitment to self/Her meant that the Australian Goddess Conference 2006 was indeed a success.

 

Thankyou…
