The Ministry of Maåt needs your support. What does it mean to lead a committed life? When you contribute to our organization you immediately join a circle of hundreds of vibrant and caring women whose commitment to inner growth and world peace and harmony has been ongoing for 12 years. In that time, the Ministry, already building upon 15 years of Women's Mysteries Trainings has accomplished much. Following Ione's two initial trips to Egypt and Morocco as a journalist, there have been six Egyptian journeys during which women re-created ancient rituals and communed with the sacred sites. In addition, we have traveled together to Greece, Crete, Hawaii, New Mexico, Canada and France, seeding our message of harmony in each land and receiving the deep blessings of the earth.

 

Dear Friends: 

 

The Ministry of Maåt is asking for your support.

 My original vision for the Ministry was that women of all ages and cultures could find ways of reclaiming our inherent wisdom while creating community with each other---  that tender creative selves could be nurtured and supported---that our intuitive and healing abilities could be honored---that we would move into the world, taking our own healing out to others.

 I believe the Ministry is living up to that vision. 

When you contribute to our organization you are supporting the vision of world wide peace and harmony. 

 How does that happen? 

One woman at a time! 

This year, Women’s Mysteries, the largest program of the Ministry, celebrates its 20th anniversary.  It was in 1988/89 that the first two groups of women, one in New York City and one in upstate New York completed their work and journeyed to Egypt together for Initiation.  We spent a wonderful New Year’s Eve together there.

WHY DONATE?

When you contribute, you automatically become a part of a circle of hundreds of vibrant and caring women whose commitment to inner growth and world peace and harmony has been ongoing for 12 years.  In that time, the Ministry, already building upon 15 years of Women’s Mysteries Trainings has accomplished much.

My two initial trips to Egypt and Morocco as a journalist, there have been six Egyptian journeys during which women re-created ancient rituals and communed with the sacred sites.  In addition, we have traveled together to Greece, Crete, Hawaii, New Mexico, Canada and France, seeding our message of harmony in each land and receiving the deep blessings of the earth.  Workshops and Retreats in France have begun to happen regularly.

 

 We have just completed the four seasonal Women’s Mysteries retreats of 2008.   Woman of Truth, Woman of Flame, Woman of the Stars, and Woman of the Duat.
