Workshop review "Find Your Goddes"

Last week I went to a Workshop from Susan Smit and Ibora Zant. Their workshop was about how to find your inner Goddess again. I experienced some wonderful things and I really wanted to share them with you.

The workshop had been arranged by Susan Smit who is a wonderful columnist from a dutch magazine called Happiness, she is also a spiritual writer, she writes about being a witch, but also novels.

Ibora Zant is a business coach who has a lot of amazing reviews, she wants people to start a business with their deepest passion so they are sure to have a successful business. She is also a hypnotherapist.

The spot where this workshop has been held was beautiful. A little old former church where more than 300 women came to discover where they could find their own power of the Goddess.

We started with a meditation, which was very strong and emotional. You could feel the energy of all the women present and united.

Their purpose with this workshop was to find who you really are and how to find your own strength.

There was a writing exercise, in this writing exercise, we had to describe the sides of our own character that didn't made us happy or the character sides of us we disliked the most. Then you needed to ask yourself why we experience those negative feelings and if you could find a way to turn it into something positive, to see the good sides  instead of putting the weight on the bad side.

It arose a lot of discussions. It is hard to allow yourself to be yourself and not to pay attention to what others think about it. There is nothing you have to be ashamed of. Every part of you is entitled to exist because they make you who you are.

But we all struggle with it and hide them behind a mask of defense and the result is that we do not feel fine because we do not present ourselves the way we really are.

The workshop had a beautiful subject but there was something that strokes us as not good: there was no binding between every member present. Lots of women stayed alone during the break and only the ones who already knew each other got together. This is a very painful issue that happens a lot in our nowadays society. But at an event like this, you do not expect it and it should not belong there.

The last meditation was about opening your heart. Many women were feeling tired after this long day and did not manage to focus properly.

To open your heart, unfortunately, it was not really manifested during this workshop.

Is it true that we all search for the place where we can stay safely and to exclude others we do not know. I wished that at a day like this, we, as woman, could just sit around one table and learning each other and really being one.

This was my first workshop, and besides that there was not really a connection with the woman's who were there, it was an amazing day and I really enjoyed it!

Big thanks to my mom who did write partly this post and helped me writing this post! 

Did you go to a workshop once? If yes, where? Would love to have a chat with you about it!

Lots of love
