Mary Marzo

As a leader of workshops and sacred healing circles, Mary guides groups to honour the Great Mother Goddess, Mother Earth and the Goddess within through a unique offering of rituals, blessings, meditations, prayers, songs, visualizations and more.
For example:

Mary's ‘Goddess Alive 8 Point Celebration Workshops’ honour Her annual wheel of seasonal festivals (Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Spring Equinox, Beltaine, Summer Solstice, Lammas, Autumn Equinox) bringing together people in a sacred circle to share, participate and celebrate the significance of that special time. These workshops bring forth a sense of spiritual regeneration, inclusivity, safety, healing and community.

Goddess Alive 8 Point Wheel of Celebrations

In these times of great shifts and changes, celebrating the ancient Goddess Festivals and honouring the Earth's cycles connects us to an inclusive life-affirming force that aids the process of healing ourselves, each other and Mother Earth. These safe circles celebrate the sacred points on HER Wheel of Celebration.

Quotes:

“Mary has a genuine gift for manifesting beautiful rituals." ~ PJ Birosik, Musik International

"This workshop was the deepest, most profound experience I've had in a healing circle. I felt so very connected to the power of the Divine Feminine - on so many levels. The sacred space created was like walking into a mist of safety - a place of incredible possibilities - a place of acceptance for where I am in this time in my life. Thank you, Mary. Your workshop was deep, powerful, strong, sad, joyous and very timely for me." ~ B.M.P.

"I loved the sharing. I loved the history and getting educated on the old stories of the Goddess. I soaked that right up. Also, being with women in a healing circle that you created was fantastic - very empowering. Thank you." ~ J.Z.

"Every time I come to one of your workshops its different - different women from different walks of life. Yet, the workshop always feels so very inclusive. Its a very wonderful experience for me - being able to connect in ways I don't have in my everyday life. Thank you." ~ H.B.

The act of meditating is an empowering experience and when it is shared with someone close to you, it becomes a process of deep bonding that increases our level of understanding, empathy, and love for each other. Whether it is between couples, friends, parent-child or groups, it can be a powerful experience that strengthens the ties of the relationship.

Goddess Equinox Meditation
with Mary Marzo, Sept 22, 2005 , 7:00 – 8:30 , donation, Snow Lion www.snowlioncanada.com
The Equinox is a special time that reflects the balance of dark and light and has been celebrated for centuries. This equilibrium consists of the energies of female and male, death and rebirth, known and unknown and is part of the changing rhythms and seasons of the Earth. It represents one of the points celebrated in the Wheel of the Year. During this session there will be a chanting of the Sri Yantra mantra – a chant based on one of the oldest mandalas on earth. This mantra invokes balance and helps us restore our wholeness and connectiveness to these energies within and all around.
