Emerging with Wonder

It is such magic to paint with friends halfway across the globe - I'm so enjoying our Wonder Woman journey with Dr Jessica Enovald-Duncan, who lives in Karlskrona, Sweden. (Our class was in English!)

Dr Jess and her husband own and run the Gefion Guest house. I *met* Jessica (online) during her Color of Woman in 2016. Jessica was one of the students under my wing, as their *Reader,* and I enjoy watching her blossom! 

Inktense journal process

In our Wonder Woman journey, we are identifying our Super Powers - both how we access them, and some of our weaknesses, so we can fly higher!

Some of the inquiries:

• what needs to change?
• what are some of my superpowers, magical tools and qualities?
• how will I develop and access them?

Emerging in the early 1940s, Wonder Woman was a new role model for girls and women, at a time these roles and opportunities were rapidly changing. She was brave, and fought oppression. Strong and beautiful, she was a natural leader, who redefined everyday qualities.

The child of an Amazon and a demi-God, Wonder Woman still inspires and invites us to tap our own superpowers and our humanity.

• She has a Lasso of truth
• Speaks all languages - how do i communicate/receive information?
• Magic bracelets to defend herself - how do I do this, with least harm to others?
• Liberation - approach each mission unencumbered by past experiences - but with the wisdom gleaned from them.
• Theme Song to engage power
• What to Wear Dare - what reminds me my own superpowers? 

We've been exploring our symbols of power, our allies and mission, good and "bad" angels/behaviours we want to explore, and ones which no longer serve. 

We began with dipping string (red thread) in paint, and putting nadis/ lay lines on our canvas (I love round canvases, and chose to use one for my WW.) I invited my students to begin this way in our Gaia class, it's a wonderful way to connect with the energy!
