“I am the first and the last. I am she who is honored and she who is scorned. I am the whore and the holy woman. I am the wife and the virgin. I am the bride and the bridegroom. I am she, the Lord.
—The Thunder Perfect Mind 1 : 5 - 10
Uncover, liberate and celebrate the feminine mystery within you
This offering is available through the framework of either coaching or psychotherapy.
Through my own healing journey, I have come to find that much of my wounding stems from a larger collective cultural wound: our disconnect from the feminine aspects of life. When I talk about the feminine, I do not mean what we have been taught to believe about this word—pink, frilly, girly, sweet, pleasant, submissive, agreeable. Rather, I am referring to the characteristics of the feminine that have been hidden, controlled, subdued, ridiculed, rejected or worse, for fear of their power.
The feminine I speak of is Dark. It is The Earth. It is the rich, black, fertile soil. It is The body. It is water. wildness. sexuality. sensuality. pleasure. collaboration. care. emotion. intuition. wisdom. mystery. stillness. softness. roundness. depth. healing. Creativity. change. cycles. birth. death. rebirth. Even life itself.
For centuries, we have been glorifying the masculine, and not the true, healthy masculine, but a twisted, dominating, over-productive, exploitative, power-hungry version of it. Our relationship to the masculine must also heal. I have found that this process emerges naturally once we learn to embrace our forgotten feminine selves. When I talk about masculine and feminine qualities, I am not associating them with men and women specifically. Ideally, all genders are able to experience their own unique balance and draw on both energies as needed.
While it may seem a foreign concept at first, there are countless simple ways to connect with our inner feminine. For example, learning what it means to truly nurture ourselves—remembering how to rest, how to slow down, connecting with our bodies and the Earth, embracing emotion and intuition as our allies, moving toward pleasure, tapping into our innate wisdom and creativity, becoming our own healer.
