Alphedia Arara was invited to take part in a conference exploring the Sacredness of the Divine Feminine run by the Edinburgh International Centre for Spirituality and Peace on Saturday 14 may 2016.
This event drew together spiritual practitioners, scholars and the wider public regarding the nature of spirituality and sacredness of the Divine Feminine in Scotland. Throughout the day and evening different presenters and speakers explored different topics. Alphedia Arara presented a ceremony of connecting to the Divine Feminine and the landscape at 2.15pm.
In this short ceremony Alphedia channelled the Goddess Bride, who is known as the Goddess of Scotland, to connect participants to the energy of the landscape of Scotland. This also allowed them to receive wisdom and guidance about their path and skills participants as a soul held to aid with earth healing.
