“Within the healing womb space of Annabel Du Boulay’s sacred art installation, we will drum journey with guided visualisation to meet Hecate – Mother of Loss, Lilith – Mother of Solitude, Brigit – Mother of Healing & Kuan Yin – Mother of Compassion. Bringing our wounding from the babes we have not birthed (through infertility, childlessness & abortion), the babes we have lost (through miscarriage, still-birth & death), and the babes we struggle to mother (both disabled & non-disabled), we will share our stories in circle whilst each creating a beautiful, healing veil to honour our personal journey.”

“Annabel was our guest speaker at Bath Positive Living Group on the evening of 23rd January 2012 with her talk, ‘The Serpent’s Tale: From Darkness to Light’. She gave a very memorable and touching account of her life so far – one that has provided some very big challenges to overcome – and how she gained strength from creatively transforming these difficulties into her book. Everybody that attended found it a very moving story – one that can truly inspire you to remember that even the most difficult circumstances in life can eventually be seen as positive and help us onward on our spiritual journey.”

Author and therapist Annabel Du Boulay shares the philosophy explored in her historical novel The Serpent’s Tale, which she developed during her recovery from depression and addiction, as well as the challenging experience of mothering two children born with life-threatening syndromes. This philosophy is based on the Myth of Sophia, which teaches us that darkness is not separate from light, and that it is within the darkest times of our lives, when we experience deep pain, loss and fear, that the light of rebirth can guide us towards greater wisdom, strength, love and compassion. It is a philosophy that helps us to accept and surrender to life’s challenges, trusting in ourselves and in life that every seemingly negative experience is an opportunity for us to heal, learn and grow. Following her talk, Annabel will lead the audience on a healing guided visualization to speak with the archetype of Wisdom-Sophia.

“…our speaker, Annabel Du Boulay, a local resident and author who spoke most movingly about women and their particular problems, their strengths and responsibilities, and read aloud passages from her book The Serpent’s Tale. She was heard in complete silence, the members obviously deeply moved by her words. Pam gave a moving vote of thanks and our long and warm applause for Annabel’s talk showed how much she had touched the hearts of everyone present.”
