The Divine Feminine in
Contemplative Spirituality
May 9, 2026
Presented by Rev. Marybeth Redmond
Online contemplative mini-retreat
The Divine Feminine in Contemplative Spirituality | 90-minute mini-retreat
The Divine Feminine is not something we acquire – it is something we consent to inhabit. It is the receptive, relational, generative dimension of Divine Love already alive within us and woven through the natural world. Through contemplative practice, especially Centering Prayer, we learn to rest in this deeper current of Wisdom and allow it to shape our living. In this final workshop of the series, we will discover how the contemplative path opens us to the Sacred Feminine and the profound interrelatedness of all life. Participants will:
Engage in embodied contemplative practices that awaken relational, intuitive ways of knowing
Receive the wild, wise voices of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Mirabai Starr, and Sue Monk Kidd for fresh takes on the Divine Feminine
Deepen their felt sense of connection with the Earth and the sacred web of life
This is an invitation to rest, to be held, and to know ourselves as part of the great web of sacred life.
