Elder Talk
“The Wisdom of Grandmother Whale”
In this ninety-minute session, Bridget will share her own unexpected and adventurous call to work with water as a vehicle of consciousness and quantum healing. Through a Shamanic Journey writing exercise participants can dive deep into the Wisdom of Grandmother Whale, the power of gratitude practices, and the true meaning of giving and receiving. For those who wish, you will also be given an opportunity to bless and be blessed with water that has been collected from holy sites and sacred wells on seven different continents—including the Womb of the World, the highest mountain in Costa Rica, Diamante’, the only mountain that sends it waters to two oceans.
