Journey Woman |
Journeyman - A man who served his apprenticeship in a trade and worked as a fully qualified employee. The term originated in the regulations of the medieval trade guilds; it derives from the French journée (‘a day’) because journeymen were paid daily.
Each guild normally recognized three grades of worker – apprentices, journeymen, and masters. As a qualified tradesman, a journeyman might have become a master with his own business but most remained employees.
In parts of Europe, as in later medieval Germany, spending time as a journeyman, moving from one town to another to gain experience of different workshops, was an important part of the training of an aspirant master.
We would like the word JourneyWoman to evoke a feeling of adventure, however, unlike our journeyman ancestors we have no masters to guide us during our journey, to the point where some of us appear to have forgotten that life is a journey, one where you don’t have to constantly be worrying about the travel arrangements or the destination! A wise Welsh woman once said to me, “when I reach my deathbed am I going to be thinking I’d rather have more time with my friends and family, more time with my animals, more time learning, reading, broadening my horizons – or am I going to be thinking I’d rather have spent more time doing the housework, worrying about the bills, what so and so at work said about me behind my back..” doesn’t take a genius, does it?! We are all – after all – heading for the same destination, we have no control over that. What we can control is the manner and events of our journey…
So welcome to the part of the Yummy Mummy Jobs website that is dedicated to bringing together apprentices, journeywomen and masters, a place to start or enrich your personal journey. We will share our journey and the journeys of others, so you can add their knowledge to your own. All of us can learn from the masters and it is the responsibility of the journeywoman to share her experience so to inspire others!
Each month return for new articles, product reviews, book review, workshops and community.
The team here intend to develop a range of online courses and workshops so people can benefit from learning in their own home at their own space. Where we will differ though is our belief in personal contact and all our courses will come complete with a weekly chat with your course leader, be they a Reiki master or an NLP Master Practitioner.
