The Goddess Association in Australia (G.A.I.A.) is delighted to announce the 2008 Australian Goddess Conference honouring Goddess Gaia and the celebration of the wisdom and magic that is Earth Alchemy… |
|
|
The conference will begin with an Open Day on Friday 10th October, with educational talks relating to Goddess, her history and spirituality, and the Goddess market stalls. We will also have the pleasure of hearing some inspiring musical offerings! A community ritual for both women and men will follow on the Friday evening from 6:00 – 8:30 pm. Our sacred woman’s Journey then stretches over the two days of Saturday and Sunday, the 11th & 12th October, with a truly magical array of group ritual, keynote speakers, workshops and market stalls to delight your deep heart and deepen your connection to our sacred Earth. |
|
|
It is both our task and our joy to reinvigorate the waters of the Rivers which connect us…
Earth Alchemy is the shamanic initiation of the rising Earth Serpent…uncovered in the secrets of the cave and around the labyrinth. This magic of the Great She is a part of every woman, reclaimed in order that she may return to her life- and heal.
Come home to Her beauty, dear women…
Be nourished, honour your connection to this land and our Great Mother, spinner of the web of life, love and enchantment.
We look forward to welcoming you there!

GODDESS MARKET STALLS
In 2008 GAIA will manifest a new initiative in association with the Australian Goddess Conference; an Open Day for the community will be held on Friday 10th October preceding the 2-day, women’s only Goddess Conference. GAIA will offer educational talks relating to Goddess, her history and spirituality and musical offerings. The Goddess Marketplace will also be a draw card and we feel that it will benefit the public with the wonderful array of products. It also gives the stallholder an opportunity to showcase their craft.
This year the marketplace will need to be set up on Thursday afternoon and remain until the close of the conference on Sunday 12th October at 6.15pm. Stalls will be offered to 3 day conference participants only, who are committed to the stallholders agreement.
The cost of the stall is only $60.00 for ONE table space for the 3 days [the tables are provided]. The stalls are on a first in, first served basis as our space is limited.
Please indicate your interest when filling in your Conference Registration Form and a Stallholders Agreement will be sent out to you. If you have any question please feel free to contact us at Market Place Coordinator
