Western Mysticism, Symbolism and Mythology with Mira Riddiford

Wealth, Passion, Freedom and Energy – Aphrodite Meditation Series

The divine masculine and feminine.

A six week meditation series exploring key life subjects as wealth, passion, freedom and energy.

15th Feb until to 22nd of March

Three options for participation: 

  1. In person
  2. Online live
  3. View recording of class

For centuries, Western Mystical traditions have taught ways of working with key life concerns, providing help and understanding for thriving in daily life.

Throughout time, spiritual traditions have recognised the value in humanising and personifying subjects that are challenging to work with.

For instance, the Greek Civilisation honoured Aphrodite as a way of acknowledging how nourishing the qualities of love, beauty and pleasure can be.

In these classes, we will experience how Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Norse civilisations have supported their societies to meet challenging periods in their lives with grace and wisdom.

Anyone with a love of classics, art history or even mythological themed movies will find this subject matter fascinating to meditate on and these symbols and archetypes are very much still present and alive in modern culture.
