On 5th/6th of June this week the astrological transit of Venus is happening. This means that the planet Venus passes directly between the sun and earth. The next time this will happen will be in 2117!! The transit occurs in pairs 8 years apart, so the first part of the transit happened in 2004. So why am I telling you this you may wonder!?The transit of Venus also represents the return of the Goddess and the sacred feminine to the planet. This is a time to really allow our inner goddess to shine and to honour the feminine within ourselves and the pure feminine energy of LOVE.
In this week’s video I share with you why women need to learn the Feminine Art of Listening:
Watch the vid to learn:
- Why most women have ‘forgotton’ how to listen to their own cycles and rhythm
- Why connecting to nature and the natural world brings us back into our rhythm
- What the Feminine Art of Listening really means
- Why Nature and Creative tools help us to listen to our Feminine Wisdom

A Workshop retreat with Jane Cormack (Rhythm In Colour) and Marielle van Dop.
It’s time to book ahead before the 20th June to receive the early booking discount!
13-15th July 2012, The Netherlands
The lost ‘Feminine Art of Listening’ is gradually re-emerging in the world and it’s time for you to learn HOW to listen and to listen more deeply.
Nature and Creativity are complimentary gifts and tools that we can use to access and open our hearts. This is no small feat and vital to the evolution of humanity! By accepting and expressing our deepest feminine qualities, we learn to listen to our feminine bodies, intuition and to access the deeply integrated wisdom that is contained within. A major aspect of this retreat is about connecting with and experiencing the purity, energy and intelligence of nature. This can radically change our vitality, perception, energy, hearts and minds. We experience what it feels like to truly listen to ourselves. We witness how this transformation affects our energy to create and express ourselves through the arts; in joy with music, dance, paint and more.
Join us for this magical, joyful

Jane Cormack (from Scotland) has been facilitating creative workshops for women for over two years in Scotland, Hawaii and The Netherlands. She began her company ‘Rhythm In Colour’ – Cultivating Courage in Women to Shine through Creativity in late 2009. Jane works with the expressive arts of music, voice, sound, movement, dance, colour, painting, writing, poetry and intuitive nature connection to support women in expressing spontaneously more of who they are, to shine and to experience JOY. Jane is also a writer, painter, poet and designer.
About Rhythm In Colour- We support women to find and connect with their own inner rhythm, unique expression and their inner source through creative ‘tools’ of colour, art, music, writing, movement, dance, breath and voice as well as nature connection. We support women to open their hearts, be spontaneous, go deep, be courageous, communicate clearly and find what it is they want, right now, using these marvellous, expressive tools.
Marielle van Dop(from The Netherlands) has been facilitating nature-awareness workshops for over 10 years. And for even longer she has been a dedicated intuitive coach. Her main-drive is helping women who feel stuck or lost in their lives to reconnect to their own inner nature and power, so that they can face anything in life with as much joy as possible. Her deep connection with the earth sustains her in all the aspects of her work. That includes working with energy-readings and healing for both humans and animals, feminine presence work, body-movements, heart-intelligence, earth-circles, and phyto-therapy. Marielle is also a professional nature-photographer. She is currently writing a book about ‘Earthwoman’. To find more about Marielle, read www.mariellevandop.nl (in dutch).
Until next time………Keep Creating & Connecting…
