OUR LADY UNDER EARTH
JOURNEYING WITH THE BLACK MADONNA

A 3-week online journey into the heart of sacred darkness, fierce love, and transformative mystery

She rises from the depths—face black as the fertile soil, eyes steady with compassion and truth. She is the Black Madonna: ancient, fierce, and tender. Not a sky-bound saviour, but a rooted presence, Our Lady Under Earth calls us down into the dark caves of becoming, to strip away illusion and meet what is real.

Join this soul-centred series to walk with the Black Madonna as guide, teacher, and mirror. Rooted in mythology, ancient goddess lineages, and modern mysticism, we will explore her stories and symbols, her altars and waters, her truth giving gaze, her constancy and presence.

Together, we’ll engage in deep meditation journeys, prayer and creative expression, that awakens courage, self-trust, and renewal through the loving heart of the dark mother. This is a journey for those ready to enter the fertile dark, to listen, release, and remember what is holy, whole, and hidden within.

Our journey themes:

The Cave of Initiation & the Ancient Mothers
The Dark Face of the Goddess: Descent & Alchemy
Waters of Renewal: Release, Rebirth, and Sacred Vision

Let the Black Madonna show you the way through the dark—into the depth of your own power and grace.

Week 2 July 17, 7-8.30pm – Descent into Her Womb: Shadow, Loss, and Alchemy

The arising of courage, enfolded in Grace as you enter her womb - a space of stillness, transformation, and the clearing of illusion. Creating an anointing oil of deliverance.
