Embracing the Red Queen: Women, Competition, Cooperation, and Co-Creation

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Lasára Allen

EMBRACING THE RED QUEEN

Women, Competition, Cooperation, and Co-Creation

Autumnal Equinox,
September 20 – 22, 2013

Join your sisters for this powerful autumn equinox weekend retreat, and bring your whole self to the circle. Bring yourself in all your sexy, sweet, angry, tired, envious, joyful, powerful glory. Bring your whole range of experience and voice. In this sacred container nothing is true or untrue, and everything is open to interpretation, reinterpretation, and re-envisioning.

Embracing the Red Queen offers the opportunity to explore our power as women, and the ways we wield it. We will hold a space where it is safe to confront envy and shame, as well as the fragile feeling of becoming vulnerable.

In confronting the part that power plays in our relationships as women, we will help to liberate ourselves and each other from the chains of jealousy, envy, and disempowerment. We will empower ourselves and each other to greater strength by witnessing the evolution from competition to co-creation.

Your Facilitators
Lasara Firefox Allen, assisted by Jenya Turner Beachy, will take you deep into the process of gaining your full range of expression, owning your center, and sharing your authentic self with your sisters. Through opportunities for expressive and transparent communication, games and playful challenges, and lots of heartfelt sharing, Lasara and Jenya will guide you in this process of deepening, enlivening, and enlightening.

Isis Oasis is an animal rescue sanctuary. You may interact with the animals in the sanctuary or not, as you choose.

Meals

Additional Info
Our retreat will include yoga sessions, time for meditation, relaxation, and massage. And time for open socializing, playing in the pool, and getting to know one another. As well as multiple opportunities to dive deep into our shared experience of womanhood.

We request an hour (or more if you’re inspired) of your time as seva (selfless-service) to be offered sometime throughout the weekend. You can let us know your preference for seva (kitchen help, massage, clean up, set-up, elder-support…) at registration.

A Mystic’s Lent: A Guide to Holy Observation

Posted on February 11, 2013 by Lasára Allen

Reprinted from Elephant Journal; first publication 3/8/11
Reprinted from LasaraAllen.com; second publication 3/11
Updated and printed here, 2/5/2012
Update, 2/11/2013

I am not, nor have I ever been, your typical Christian. Most wouldn’t even call me Christian, though I would say my spiritual reality is very catholic (small “c” intentional) and I do have my own special relationship with Christ.

I am in no way claiming to be your spiritual adviser in these things. As a Mystic, you most likely draw from many faiths as I do, finding merit in each. Religion is a veil gracing the heart of what prayer and spiritual practice offer. (You say thief, I say liberator!)

As a Mystic you are also your own Priest, and therefore vested with the power to administer your own sacramentals. (I say Mystic, you say heretic!)

As with any spiritual under taking, intention is everything. So in choosing the way you want to observe Lent, remember that it’s not the destination that matters, but the journey. In other words, it’s not about “making it to Easter”, it’s about learning from the experience.

1. Basics of Lent: Lent is the roughly 40-day period between Ash Wednesday (in this case, February 13, 2013) and Holy Thursday (March 28). Holy Thursday is the end of Lent, and the beginning of the three holy days of Easter.

2. Three Pillars: There are three pillars of Lent in traditional Catholicism. The pillars are fasting, prayer, and alms-giving. The basic premise of these spiritual undertakings;

a. Fasting isn’t really about not eating, it’s about what you learn from not eating, or how you allow not eating to alter your perception. It can also be about allowing yourself temporary liberation from the cycle of eat-or-be-eaten, getting really high on just your breath, or allowing yourself the space to allow for worship to become a higher order of priority than bodily needs. Spiritual fasting is a varied experience. People do it for all kinds of reasons, and get all kinds of results. I recommend that as you fast, you noticing your hunger. Experience your hunger as the hunger of that Rumi had for conversation with Shamz. That Teresa of Avila had for Christ.

b. Prayer is an adjunct to spiritual fasting that makes the whole more than the sum of its parts. When the energy of hunger is turned to a fevered devotion, prayer becomes a love song to God.

c. Alms-giving is a way to make the concept of sacrifice foundational and interactive. What are you willing to give up in order to benefit the lives of those around you? In your chosen hunger are you willing to feed with your food those who don’t choose hunger? Are you willing to offer your time, energy and intention to putting the words “love your neighbor” into action?

3. How-To, for the Mystic:

a. Ash Wednesday: “Remember, O man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.” —Genesis 3:19.

Ash Wednesday is the day when you see Catholics walking around with ash crosses on their foreheads. You, as your own Priest, will want to prepare a mixture of ash and oil. If you’d like, the ash can be from a piece of paper with a “sin” you’d like to eradicate written on it.

Once cool take the ash, make the paste, and paint a cross on your forehead with the ash, recognizing your willingness to bow before the Will of the power greater than yourself.

b. Build Your Lent: How much do you want to fast? What do you want to abstain from? What are you willing to tithe or offer up? Will you fast with water only? Bread and water? One single meal in a day instead of three? Any of these options, or even less stringent undertakings such as eating lightly, forgoing meat, or forgoing other foods you enjoy. Or even foods you just eat habitually.

How do you want to enact the teachings of Christ?

This is not about the sacrifice that Christ made, but about the sacrifices you are willing to make in order to become more Christ-like. What actions can you surrender, and what actions can you commit to, that will allow the light of Christ to flourish within you?

c. Holy Thursday, aka Thursday of Mysteries. Now it’s about Christ. This is a commemoration of the Last Supper.

After the last super was that night under the olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane. “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Reflect upon the Sacrifice that Christ was facing. What cup of poison are you shying away from? Will you take the cup, or will you flee?

Spend this night in reflection of what’s being asked of you by God.

d. Holy Friday is a commemoration of the crucifixion of Christ. Traditionally this is a day of fasting and mourning. If you really want to go for it you could spend Friday dressed in sack-cloth and covered in ashes, or taking a more direct and experiential connection with the Passion of the Christ, spend the night in a cave wrapped in nothing but a shroud.

e. The Easter Vigil begins Saturday evening. You may take Saturday as another fasting day, clearing the ash and dust from your soul, until evening which is the officially the beginning of Holy Sunday, otherwise known as…

f. Resurrection Day! You’ve made it! What an amazing day. What have you been reborn to, aside from the love of Christ? Or, in addition to it? Eat, drink, and be merry, bathed in the Light of Love and Rebirth!

I hope you have enjoyed your journey through this Mystic’s guide to Lent. May it provide good food – and fast – for thought.

Amen.

The Sexy Witch Teleclass series…
back by popular demand!

This series is open to ALL women. Guys, you may know women who would be interested. Invite them!

“This witty and smart, well-researched gem of a book has the power to transform the feminist movement at the radical roots – women’s bodies and their sexuality. For any woman who wants to understand, enhance, reclaim or heal her sexuality, this book is a must. It will serve to liberate your sisters as well as the men and women who love them.”
-Anodea Judith, Ph.D., author of Wheels of Life and Eastern Body, Western Mind.

The book Sexy Witch is part self-help guidebook, part self-esteem workbook, and part mystery initiation into the hidden secrets of Self Empowerment. Addressing self-referential sexual and spiritual power, Sexy Witch promises to bring you home to your deepest truth.

This nine-week course is based on the book Sexy Witch, and lead by the author, Lasara Firefox Allen.

“LaSara Firefox is a genius! You couldn’t ask for a better guide to take you on this emboldening and engaging adventure. Whether or not you consider yourself a witch, Sexy Witch is a fabulous book full of serious fun.”
-Ariel Gore, author of Bluebird: Women and the New Psychology of Happiness.

We’ll work and play our way through Sexy Witch chapter by chapter. The series is 9 weeks long, and includes weekly teleclasses, an interactive e-group, recorded meditations, a “Sister-System”, and more.

The course is starting Sunday, January 27, 2013. Teleclasses are from 1 – 2:30 weekly. The Sexy Witch course is a great way to kick off a new calendar year. Make a commitment to you!

“I did the Sexy Witch teleclass series with Lasára a few years ago and the impact it had on my life, my view of myself and my whole world was and is still profound. Going through it with a group gave it power I don’t think would have come from working the book individually. I am blessed and so grateful that I had the opportunity to do the Sexy Witch group.
-Sage Fae Wolf, social worker, CA

Class size is limited. Course rate is $275. A $95 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your registration, and the remaining amount is due before the first class.

FAQs:
Time commitment:

In between gatherings everyone does the work from the chapters of Sexy Witch. None of the exercises are compulsory, or required. You do the amount of work on each chapter that works for you.

Support:

You can have a Sexy Witch Sister with whom to share and receive support with as the course goes along. If you don’t join with someone you’re already close with, I will match you up with another participant.

Also, some of the meditations in the book are available as recordings to those who take the course.

“I worked through Sexy Witch with Lasara and a small group of women in 2008, and am so happy I did! The work I did, and we did together, still reverberates in my life years later. My relationship with my body and my partner is richer and clearer, and I feel much more certain about my communication with my kids about what love and beauty is in the world. Lasara’s book is more than an educational read, it’s an experience offered to know yourself on very deep levels. To work through this material with Lasara herself is an experience not to be missed.”
-Durga Fuller – TheCookAwakening.com, nutrition expert, coach, and mom, OR

“Lasára’s insightful work with Sexy Witch will stimulate you to question the reality within which you have chosen to live. In accepting her invitation to the path of transformation you can discover a rich reality which exists within.”
-Liesl, O.T.O Priestess, CA

“I was in the last class and it’s so much more than the book… And the group got together weekly on the bridge line and brought very thought provoking discussions to the table.”
-Apolla, Financial Systems Consultant, VA

Workshop Testimonials and Endorsements – Workshops with Lasara Firefox Allen

Posted on November 16, 2010 by Lasára Allen

“Thank you so much for your facilitation and for holding space for our group in the Sexy Witch course. You’re an amazing woman, with such a wide array of different experiences! I love how willing you are to keep asking the really tough questions, keep unearthing more and digging deeper and deeper (and deeper and deeper…). I love how you hold space for people to just be who they are, and how you really acknowledge and celebrate everyone’s unique gifts and different views of life. It seems apparent that you look at differing views not as divisive and oppositional – but instead, as an opportunity for growth and for greater understanding. Your unflinching commitment to personal/societal/global transformation is evident in your work, your speech, and your compassionate, informed, yet humble approach to working with groups. And the transformation is there! Things MOVE around you! Thank you! It’s been such a joy and a privilege and an inspiration to sit in (telephonic) circle when you lead.”
– Rhya Whaska, http://rhyawhaska.com/

“LaSara Allen is an amazing teacher. If you are afraid to learn more about yourself than you ever realized, then you need to steer clear. With one swift ‘all aboard’ she takes her students right into the gooey, gritting, insides of personal truth. Taking her subject matter seriously, and yet introspectively, LaSara is always looking both to get her students to go deeper into the emotions within the material, as well as re-checking her progress and her evolving truths. It was both a blessing and an honor to work with her, she is a real, authentic person on a journey guided by inner-truth. She has inspired by her example.”
– Giana Cicchelli

-Anodea Judith, Ph.D., author of Wheels of Life and Eastern Body, Western Mind.

This is one empowering book! While it may seem this book is for women only, as a man I found it informative and very practical. Some of the contents are specifically for women, including exercises that are guaranteed to both shock and delight readers. A quick look into the library of LaSara Firefox reveals that this is her first full blown book. I will definitely be looking out for more from this author. Sexy Witch is one of the most daring, revealing, and inspiring books I have ever read. The fact that a book like this can be published proves that free speech is still a reality! Although the book does have some roughness, I give it 5 stars for what a special and unique accomplishment it is. I doubt there is any book in existence that pushes the envelope like this one. I found myself laughing out loud, and crying at some of the startling historical information. A copy of Sexy Witch on your coffee table is guaranteed to strike up some interesting conversations with your guests. Based on its contents and graphic exercises I would not be surprised to see this book banned. Sexy Witch has the potential to empower anyone who reads it. I especially like the “media fast” exercise. We all need to do this one, for our health and sanity.
