Women's Spiritual Quests
 
The WSQ GATE staff invites you to join us on our feminist and spiritual quests.
 
Our programs are designed for those:
  • who are seeking spiritual renewal;
  • who are concerned about Mother Earth, her renewing Mystery and her sacred challenge for our times;
  • whose desire is to stand with women in the affirmation of feminine wisdom and power;
  • who look to embrace an inclusive personlity.
Our programs are built on ancient images and myths in order to understand the struggles of the present:
 
        Hear with the heart.
        See with the soul.
        Experience a creation-centered cosmology.
        Stand with women who struggle for justice.
 
Locations
 
Mexico Quest  
Mexico Quest is based on the historic and contemporary culture of the Central Basin of Mexico.  It is an adventure which takes you to sacred sites, presents the principal goddess myths and engages participants in cross-cultural explorations of Female Power and Divine Presence.    
 
Tonantzin, Mexico
Join other women artists to learn about Goddess mythology of Central Mexico, travel to ancient sacred sites, meet and share with contemporary Mexican women and celebrate the experience through sharing, ritual and days for creating art.
 
Central France
Who is she?  What does she represent? Join us in pilgrimage to the ancient sites of Vezelay, Riom, Marsat, Clermont-Frerrand, Le Puy, Rocamadour and Chartres in search of the miraculous Black Madonna.  Beginning in Paris, track her roots and the shadow of her presence in the wood, stone, and paint.  Experience who and what she represents as we listen to her and to each other with a pilgrim's heart.
