What an absolutely mystical and magical flame presence and the timing of which sounds very powerful and meaningful indeed!
I’m so excited for your course and looking forward to delving deep into it all! I do hope to join the live conversations as well. Thank you for this beautiful and abundantly overflowing offering! I can’t wait! xox
Such wonders, Sylvia. Don't think I'll take this course but I wanted to offer my blessings to it. I'm just sad and afraid and crying all the time these days. This recent American election isn't about what it's about on the surface- I believe it's about an old patriarchal fear of losing control, and so a rather patriarchal shadow has been roaring across the world in figures like Putin and Bolsanaro and Orban and Trump and so many guys in Africa with guns. Dangerous men with guns, actually scared boys afraid what will happen if they put down their clubs. And it feels like it's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. Oh Lord why us why now?
You are the hope. Your work is acting as a light to the world. An ongoing Resurrection. It will feed life. Life will return. And for those folks who think most men love what's happening to the Earth and to women these days, let me speak up for us who would rather be the guardians of the red tent and not the ones destroying it. I don't vote for these overgrown middle school bully boys..... but just like in 8th grade they seem to offer a "poisoned thread" that has appeal.
Your work offers the thread of medicine and healing. God love you. You bring smiles to my many tears.
This course simply sang to my heart EVERY single class offered. It was the medicine and balm for the spirit that was needed……..I loved every part of this work presented and pray there is more in the works 🩷
Sylvia, can you tell me, for the live sessions, what are the dates/times in US CST or PST, if that is easier for you? I am seeing conflicting times on the site and on the email.
Hi Sherry-- sorry for the confusion on Advaya's emails/ site-- the live calls are all at 10 am PST for me here in California, 6 pm GMT in England. So lovely you will be there! xx
On the women who gave birth to babes and bear cubs: there is a story by Anne Cameron in Daughters of Copper Woman that tells of a she-wolf who gave birth to four cubs that became children, and she became Woman. Your quick overview of the women who married bears and bore both reminds me of this — perhaps a connection?
Thank you so much Rose... And how interesting about the animal-human mother transformations in Daughters of Copper Woman... I'll have to revisit that book! xox
This work resonates down to my bones. I have been needing help with getting down deep in my own soul, thank you so much, it feels like the most potent medicine I could never have imagined. I imagine it’s just the same for so many. You are channeling a deep remembrance at just the moment it is due. I’m so excited for this course. 🙏🏼
This is beyond exciting. I am torn because on the one hand its like this course is made for me and speaks to that ancestoral and familial wound that is with me always. An orphan trying to write herself back into her lineage or some such. On the other hand I wasn't anticipating making more space for study in this vein so soon. It feels both luxurious and essential. This timing, really? Now? Me? Superb offering Sophia truly Superb.
Sylvia the flame the flame- how you captured so much in the flickering completion and birthing of when women were the land.
I both felt the heat the dripping wax and the humor as I cracked up having done this myself -mesmerized by fire nearly burning down the house or my hair….
Oh Sylvia-I’m saddened to have missed your exquisite course.
Will you be teaching it Live again in the near future?
I’d love to take a course live with you especially this one.
And I agree your holding down the Red tent or the invisible cloak that we all as women can wear as the world seems to be both crumbling dismembering and strangely getting fortified.
As the light grows brighter (the flame bigger ha!) so too the shadow.

Keeping the flame going along side you sister(s).
Let me know when you’re offering live courses again.
I loved loved reading this, thank you, I so resonate with your story. I was born in South Africa with French Cathar origins, my ancestors were some of the first European refugees to flee religious persecution... and then we became Afrikaans colonials... Complex always this question of land and belonging and home... I wanted to know if you will do this course again live or not? If not, I am feeling called to join anyway as I imagine all that we need is pre-recorded anyway? Thank you for your work xxx

Your writing is anam cara to my own soul~ I wish you every blessing on this exquisite course. It is so needed. 🙏🏼
Bless you, that is so kind. x
Cant Wait for this course <3
Sounds like such an incredible course that I will definitely ponder joining. Oh and I’ve always loved the art of Viera Bombová.
Would love to have you there Mirabella! And -- I've just discovered Viera Bombová's work. Oh my goodness. I'm in awe.

Thank you Sylvia! See you in a few hours!
So beautiful a read.

Always a joy to read your work Sylvia.
