The sacred union
Relationships are how we grow; they cradle and stretch us. Through connection and division, love and hurt, compassion and separation, they invite us to return again and again to the most important relationship we’ll ever have – the one with ourself, the sacred union that’s been waiting within.
Ancient mystery teachings whisper secrets of sacred unions: Hieros gamos (‘sacred marriage’) in early Christian mysticism and Kabbalah, sexual alchemy in ancient Egyptian teachings, and Yab-yum (‘father-mother’) in Tibetan Buddhism. We’re familiar with mystic couples such as Isis and Osiris, but we each have the sacred masculine and feminine within.
