GODDESS DIPPING & AVEBURY PILGRIMAGE

22nd March, Spring Equinox Celebration

A COLD WATER CEREMONY AND
SACRED SITE
PILGRIMAGE FOR
WOMEN

My Why…

Cold Water was the first spiritual teacher I ever had, and my first experience of her introduced me to myself for the first time. The cold goddess held me as I met myself, the true me, not the version of me I presented to the outside world at the time, I met this truly peaceful part of me that wasn’t in any pain, I met my highest self.

So I keep going back, to meet that part of me every time, to sit with her, to gain clarity from her, for her to show me the way.

I don’t in any way shape or form claim to have invented cold healing, this is a method our global ancestors have used for millennia. But over the years I have built a loving and reverent relationship with this wise healer and I have seen how she can heal not just our aching bodies and knocked immune systems, but she clears the distracted and chaotic mind, she releases emotions, and the spirit in her connects us to the spirit in us.

I can honestly share that entering the portal of the cold transformed me on every level possible, human and spirit. So I invite you with a full and inspired heart to come and join me in a day of learning how to love and work with this beautiful teacher! I intend to create the space to enable her to pass on the same empowerment and knowledge that she gifted me.

The Cold Goddess:

  • I believe the spirit of water is feminine as she has a thousand faces, temperates and temperaments.

  • I call cold water, the cold goddess as I believe when we work with her in ceremony we enter a portal of alchemy. This is where goddess dipping was born.

  • A day of goddess dipping is a day of working with cold water in ceremony and reverence, it’s not like other cold plunging experiences and is based on the workings of the feminine. Oh and… it’s a women-only affair. Cold plunge is male-dominated and can be intimidating to women, so this event is for us ladies.

  • You need no prior experience, you don’t even have to like the cold, all you need is your curious heart and to listen to the whispers of the feminine from the deep….

  • I will take each woman to the water for a 1:1 experience to work with her intention for the retreat.

  • You will have the opportunity to book an extra 1:1 Mini-reading with Arizona Smith whilst others are experiencing the water to help you with your intention for the day.

AveburyPilgrimage

I believe humans are stewards of the land, the ancients knew this and built sacred sites to work with and honour the flow of life force that runs through our beautiful earth. When returning to sacred sites, you are returning to an ally, a friend who helps you remember why your wondering spirit is here and how it can help in the healing of our planet. On Spring Equinox we will spend our afternoon travelling to Avebury Stone Circle to hold a blessing ritual at this beloved site. This ceremony will offer gratitude to the goddess of winter and welcome in the goddess of spring, of new life, new visions and new dreams.

  • The session with Alice was truly out of this world. For anyone feeling stuck, struggling with old belief systems and outdated patterns and in need of assistance healing, Alice works magic!

    Sarah Kalmeta - Founder Pivot Point, Success Coach

  • Alice is one of the most extraordinary people I have ever met. The session itself was fascinating as my world unfolded and immediately I could feel a deeper sense of belonging and knowing in who I am. I loved the whole experience and have found I have such a deep sense of inner peace within me. I have noticed a number of shifts within myself and my presence in all areas of my life.

I have felt big shifts since working with her and would recommend her services to anyone who is open to personal growth and understanding. Alice has a beautiful and generous soul - I feel honoured to know her.
