Frankenstein--Belonging in the Divine Feminine
23m · PublishedIn this episode we wade into Frankenstein, looking to understand the consequences of severing ourselves from Mother Earth. The Divine Feminine and the natural world have been linked together for a long time, and we have made great strides to obscure our belonging to both. What are the ramifications? How can we heal from this colossal cultural imbalance? I'll be honest, I don't have all the answers. But Frankenstein might give us a place to start.

Updates and Transitions - A Note On Liminality

Echo and Narcissus: Shapeshifting and Survival
19m · Published"Inauthenticity itself can become part of our identity because knowing how to adapt in order to be loved, worthy, or accepted becomes the highest priority. When we feel like our relationships (especially with our caretakers) are conditional, being adaptable (or inauthentic) is paramount to survival."
This week we work through the story of Echo and Narcissus while discussing how to find our way back to who we are underneath all the things we've been in order to survive.
The Skeleton Woman: Loving Ourselves When We Feel Unlovable
18m · Published"As we cultivate compassion, and find a balance between action and rest, that wounded thing in us can sing itself back to life. It can regenerate, taking what it needs to find wholeness, to find partnership with us. It can become something that works in alignment with us to meet our needs instead of terrorizing us into spaces of neglect and lack."
This week an old Inuit tale teaches us how to pause and look deeply into the face of our fear, the face of our shadow, and find self-love when we feel unlovable.
