So begin by being aware of the space around you.
And now call in Mother Earth.
So open the space,
Make that invitation.
Call Mother Earth into the space in front of you,
In this our practice space.
And notice how she chooses to manifest to you today.
How does she look?
Does she remind you of anyone?
Or of any part of yourself?
Or does she appear different?
How much space does she take up?
Are there any sounds or aromas associated with her?
How do you feel inside as she shows herself here in the practice space?
And whatever you are feeling,
Whatever is going on,
Just sit with it for a moment.
Allowing yourself to feel.
Allowing all your emotions to be valid.
Aware of the presence of Mother Earth who came when you called.
Aware of the presence of all our community sharing this practice.
Reminding yourself of your grounding,
Your deep rootedness from which you draw the strength to do this work.
And allow yourself to meet the eye of Mother Earth.
And as you look at her,
You might see that she changes.
She might take on aspects of any or all of the women and mothers you know or have known.
And if you have experience as a woman or a mother,
You may see yourself in her as well.
Step into the space with Mother Earth and take some moments to relate with her.
So you might talk or listen,
She may have something to say to you or you to her.
You might laugh or dance or weep or rage together.
Whatever arises naturally,
Just allow yourself this space of relation with Mother Earth.
And now,
Acknowledging this time you have spent together as part of a relationship that is ever evolving,
Look Mother Earth in the eye and affirm the following.
I am an adult.
I recognize that I am part of a community of beings.
I choose to act responsibly within my community.
I choose to respect and resource all those in my community.
I choose to respect and resource women and girls in my community.
I choose to respect and resource mothers in my community.
I choose to respect and resource myself by my actions.
I choose to respect and resource Mother Earth.
And then getting ready to close the practice.
Letting go of any visualization.
Allowing any sound to quieten down.
Giving thanks to and wishing peace upon Mother Earth.
Thank you so much for sharing this practice today.
