In this journey we experience the potency of Yoruba ritual, the deepest grief of loss, the awakening of creativity and life purpose,the renewal of resolve and the transcendence of life threatening illness.
In this very special performance, feelings, dreams and memories emerge illuminating the often harrowing process of "Spell Breaking" that can lead to a special kind of satisfaction, the remembering of deep and essential "ways of being". This performance is a benefit toward creation of a permanent M.o.M. Sanctuary for Healing and Research, an International women's exchange program and scholarships for courses of study for the financially challenged. Women's Mysteries; For Women who want to go Deeper is a program of the Ministry of Maåt, Inc.
The 39 active members of this Kingston based Women's Mysteries community are currently spread throughout the world, encompassing the US, France, Italy, Egypt and Canada.

Ione, who launched the Women's Mysteries program 25 years ago in New York City, says:
"We are transforming worlds- one woman at a time! "

"Ione’s Spell Breaking; Remembered Ways of Being is exactly that!! Ione is a “spell breaker".
She leads us into deeper realities to help us realize our true nature. Through the stories of many women, Ione reminds us all of our awesome ancient mystery potential. In this way, she breaks age old social spells that have inhibited us, and thereby creates new communities. We loved reading the inspiring stories of freedom." - Amy and Arny Mindell, Process Work Center, Portland, Oregon
