COURAGEOUS DREAMING

"We all have the potential to dream a sacred and courageous dream, one that goes beyond serving our personal desires and brings beauty to the world..."
Alberto Villoldo, Courageous Dreaming

What is your sacred and courageous dream?

My dream is to a lead people, especially women, on sacred journeys and pilgrimages. This spring, I will walk and travel my own pilgrimage of initiation. I will walk the last 100 miles of the El Camino de Santiago in Spain and then, with my 15-year old daughter, will continue to explore a sacred configuration of seven pre-Christian sites, from Santiago de Compostela, Spain, up through France to Rosslyn, Scotland. This sacred configuration formed the route of a pilgrimage of initiation used by the Druids and Christian mystics in their search for true knowledge and enlightenment.
I am calling this journey "La Camina". It embodies for me the sacred feminine and the hidden streams of spirituality that flow beneath the surface, connecting all of life, rooted in the body of the Earth and the ancient wisdom traditions.

This is my sacred journey. This is my sacred dream.

What is your sacred and courageous dream?

I believe we all have a sacred and courageous dream, whether we are conscious of it or not - or even whether we can give ourselves permission to have the dream. It takes courage to allow ourselves to dream, and not to wait until it's more convenient, the kids are older, or you have enough money.

"Whatever you can do or dream, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
-Johann Wolfgang van Goethe
