Wanderland Iseum honors the eight seasonal Holy Days with Journeys to the Goddess led by Gwendolyn Endicott, author, storyteller, mythologist. These natural turning points in the Earth's cycle have been celebrated by people of many cultures throughout time. At these junctures, the energy alignment of sun, moon, and earth is particularly powerful. These seasonal cycles form the basis of myth, ritual, planting customs, and our understanding of birth, growth, death, and renewal. Honoring the continuous cycles of nature brings us into a closer relationship with the living Earth.
Each Journey focuses on a Goddess particularly connected to the season and includes Her Story, mythology, ritual, and reflection. For a more detailed description of a Holy Day Journey, check our calendar about four weeks prior to the date of the Holy Day.

SPRING EQUINOX JOURNEY TO THE GODDESS:
Quan Shi Yin
With Gwendolyn Endicott, author, story teller, mythologist
Saturday, March 20, 11-4
Tuition $55
On Spring Equinox, night and day are momentarily balanced. We celebrate the return of the sun, for after Spring Equinox, every day is brighter than the one before as Earth blossoms into spring. On this Holy Day, we will journey with the goddess Quan Yin, beloved by many as the goddess of compassion, the goddess of mercy, “She who hears the cries of the world.” She arises from the Primal Seas, carrying the “pearl of illumination” that lights all darkness. What are the gifts that She brings us on our path toward healing and light? Journey includes Her Story, meditation, ritual and time for reflection.
