The time is now...
...and Gather the Women is your opportunity to join in a global movement to harness the power and wisdom of women for the benefit of all life.
Gather the Women Is...
...much more than a single event or a single day to focus on women -- it is a global movement and a structure that can support and connect women worldwide. One aspect of Gather the Women is our focus on March 8 -- International Women's Day as declared by the United Nations. Many countries in the world have a rich tradition of celebrating this day with a variety of events to recognize and honor women. Gather the Women is a grassroots movement to build more recognition and participation so this can truly be a global women's event, to link the women participating through a unique interactive Internet website www.gatherthewomen.org  and to establish a unifying goal of creating purposeful action through each event which can help to address the real problems facing our planet.
During the week of March 3-9, 2003 women around the world (including Mystic Goddess) were invited to create thousands of local, regional and national women's gatherings. Thousands of women heard the call to participate in this global women's retreat by creating unique events around the world.  These events enabled women to participate in a global conversation and to support one another in creating positive change through collaborative action.
In 2004 our Gather the Women week will begin on Monday, March 8 and culminate on Saturday and Sunday, March 13-14. 
We encourage you to begin planning to participate NOW. 
One of the greatest gifts women bring to the world is their creativity, and we encourage you to use this gift in producing a gathering that is right for you and your community. 
Some women will gather in quiet prayer in the context of their faith; others will gather in large rallies to hear speeches and music. Some will express their concern in public forums. 
Some will gather for silent vigils, quiet contemplation or conversation. 
Some will include experiential activities like music, movement, ritual or poetry. Some gatherings will be as small as three women meeting in a home; others will be large and organized in stadiums. 
Each gathering will be unique and will reflect the values, skills and interests of the women involved.


International Women's Day has been celebrated for almost 90 years. The U.N. began sponsoring IWD in 1975.
At the very pivotal time in our history, women of the earth are being called to bring balance to our leadership and peace to our world. We are experiencing this call individually and collectively.
 Here at Mystic Goddess and Temple of Mystic Light we are gathering to 
honor women and the Divine Feminine within. 
We are welcoming and encouraging men to come and support us as well as connect with their own "feminine side". 
We will have speakers, a labyrinth, live entertainment, author booksigning, meditation, sacred fire, ceremony, and a "Wise Women Network" of professionals offering services and information in our community. 
"If ever the world sees a time when women shall come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a power such as the world has never known." Matthew Arnold, British Poet, 1822-1888.
And in the spirit of the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya sisterhood 
we invite you to please wear Your YA-YA HAT!

Labyrinth:     
Compliments of Denise Mueller of Inner Healings & Associates in Brandon
Walking the Sacred Path: Walking the Labyrinth has reemerged today as a metaphor for the spiritual journey and a powerful tool for transformation. This walking meditation is an archetype, a mystical ritual found in all religious traditions. It quiets the mind and opens the soul, evoking a feeling of wholeness.
Denise is a graduate of SunCoast Center for Natural Health. She is certified in Swedish Massage and CoreMassage. She is trained in NeuroMuscular Therapy, Dr. Chikly's Lymph Drainage, Dr Vodder's Manual Lymph Drainage, Active Isolated Stretching: The Mattes Method. Denise is also a certified Reiki Master/Teacher.
