Jae -- I invite You to Join Us

     Over the last 30 years, by myself and with others I have designed and built well over a dozen houses and other buildings for women in five states.  These structures range from our four beautiful passive solar adobe houses at Outland to cordwoor to frame to post & beam to a pair of amazing 3-living-spaces-in-each-building houses. (See photos)

     Like so many things in a patriarchal society, construction is often mystified and is usually done the way men would do it, in ways appropriate for them but not for us as women.

     Every one of us can build if we most imp0ortantly just have the self-confidence, and then the opportunity, and finally a few basic concepts, tools and skills.

     I built my first house with a cheap circular saw, jig saw and drill. All I had ever built before was a bookshelf and I had no tool or building experience. I built because I needed a home-- true story.

     I have learned by observing, asking questions, researching and mostly by just pulling together my courage and doing it. Yet, I can design, plan, organize and build, as well as do plumbing and electric-- and do it all rather well. Every one of us can do the same.

     It is my intent to pass on some of the confidence I have gained as well as some of the hints, tricks, skills and general knowledge that I have picked up over these three decades.

     It is my intent that each woman goes home from this Workshop with an excitement, anticipation and confidence about herself and about building.

     I want us to leave the Workshop Experience feeling bigger in ourSelves and in our abilities. I want us to go home feeling less alone and less fearful, more prepared for any eventuality. I want us to go home more Connected to ourSelves with more sense of our Role in this Life.  I want us to return home feeling our Wholeness and with the creativity that flows when we feel our Bigness and Wholeness.

 

 

I Invite You 

To join us on this amazing Land

To expand your skills & confidence

To participate in activities that bring out

your biggest most authentic Self

To experience an invigorating combination of

Learning, Respite, Inspiration, Connection & Healing

 

Heal

    I believe that we are each intrinsically Whole. Our Healing comes from inside as we realign with our Wholeness. From and with Spirit, if you will.

     I believe that we live in a fear-based culture. When we fear we cannot Love or Connect or Create or Expand. Our fears remove us from our awareness of our intrinsic Wholeness.

     We have internalized fears on countless levels. Our fears learned in a society that too often dislikes or diminishes us as women. Fears of not being enough or not being right in a society that too often points out our perceived failings. Our fears of scarcity, there not being enough for everyone, learned in a culture that emphasizes competition and that defines who has access to what. Fears that if people know who we really are, they will not like us.

     We live afraid of what might happen, what danger lies waiting for us, what disease will strike. We fear we might fail.

     When we fear, we cannot love, cannot expand, cannot connect. When we fear, we get smaller-- contracting, we remove ourselves from our innate Connection with ourSelves, the Earth and each other.

     Healing is realigning ourSelves with our intrinsic Wholeness.

     A primary goal here at Outland is to provide an environment and activities to help draw every one of us into our Wholeness. Let's get BIG! 

     Our intent is that you leave here more Connected to the Earth, others and to yourSelf-- with a deeper understanding / Knowing of what you are in this life to do. With a more immediate recognition of the difference that you can and indeed DO make in this world.

    In order to build or do anything else fully and well, it is essential that we feel as close to our 'best' as possible, that we feel big, open, well, energized, confident and Whole.

     Our priority in this Workshop, as in every Woman, Earth & Spirit event, is an experience that motivates and expands us all on every level-- skills, personal development, creativity, friendship, Healing, and spiritually. 

    

     One of the special offerings at the New Mexico Women's GuestHouse, Retreat & Healing Center is the opportunity to focus on Healing on an amazing Land that in Herself draws us into Harmony, in an environment that encourages us into Wholeness. Therein lies true Healing.

     At the same time there is support to address specific dis-ease as you focus on Self-Healing.

     Sometimes it is helpful to have help. Here there is opportunity for Assisted-Healing working with a wondrous Healer who lives here on the land or with other Healers who are here periodically.

     We invite you to work with the several wondrous Healers who will be here through the Spring and Summer. They are available during free time and other hours every day for consultations and treatments. You will make consultation, treatment and payment arrangements with each Healer directly.

     Our Resident Healer, Dr. Karin Schaufele has been a Health Care Provider since 1986 and is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine trained and highly skilled in an impressively broad range of modalities-- Eastern, Alternative, Energetic, Western as well as Ritual and Ceremony. She is particularly gifted in her ability to address Our Wholeness physically, emotionally and spiritually.

     She is currently offering her work in Europe and will likely be here some part of the Workshop Season to work with you.  Karin directly. To learn more, click to visit Karin's website. Make appointment and payment arrangements with her when you arrive.

     Healing is about Wholeness-- physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Healing is being able to accept love fully, to love wholly.

     We encourage you to use this Workshop opportunity to move more into yourSelf, into Wellness, into Wholeness.
