All the Hemispheres
Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out
Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadow and shores and hills.
Open up to the Roof.
Make a new watermark on your excitement
And love.
Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.
Change rooms in your mind for a day.
All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.
Greet Yourself
In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back home.
All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire
Chatting
While stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.

"The five days I spent at Esalen with the lovely women of Matrilumina were truly some of the most inspiring, rejuvenating and memorable days of my whole year. I left feeling rested, deeply nurtured and strongly connected to what now feels like a brand new family of some of the most amazing people I have ever met. What a gift." ~Flora Bowley, Artist, Author and Workshop Leader
