095 | Female Pleasure & Releasing Sexual Shame with Alexxa Latta

53m · Published 14 Feb 14:00

*Enrollment is Open for the Rising Women Leaders Priestess Initiation ~ we begin March 11, 2020 and there are still a few spots left in the Wild Heart Retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii, April 17 - 22, 2020. We hope you can join us!

Did you know that almost every person on this planet, has experienced shame around their sexuality at some point in their lives? Shame makes an imprint on our sexuality, whether we realize it or not.  Our shame story creates conscious and subconscious blocks within us, disconnecting us from our precious, sensitive and sacred sexuality. When we’re disconnected from our sacred sexuality, we disconnect from our truest love and acceptance of Self. 

Our guest today, Alexxa Latta helps people clear these blocks. She helps them access their sensuality; come alive through the senses, activate passion, healing, and connection to themselves and their partners.

This episode is full with feminine wisdom, as well as an invitation to fully claim the gifts we each have to bring to this world (as taboo or scary they may seem!)

In this episode we discussed:

  • Female pleasure and orgasm-and why so many women are “pre-orgasmic”(haven’t had an orgasm), can only orgasm by themselves or with a vibrator, and/or are numb or feel pain internally

  • How to awaken internal sensation to orgasm

  • How Alexxa overcame shame and fear to begin sharing this work publicly

  • The cultural and ancestral shame around the female body and female pleasure/sex - which is a huge reason so many women feel shut down or numb sexually 

  • Desire/libido in long term relationships- why it goes away and how to get it back!

  • PMS/PMDD, hormones, cycle syncing, and balancing hormones

  • Sexual wound/trauma healing with the yoni egg

  • G-Spot and Cervical orgasms and how to have them!

  • Building sexual and sensual confidence

*Enrollment is Now Open for the Rising Women Leaders Priestess Initiation ~ we begin March 11, 2020 and there are still a few spots left in the Wild Heart Retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii, April 17 - 22, 2020. We hope you can join us!

Since having this conversation with Halo I have shown up first thing in the morning to my meditation seat for 20 minutes a day. Something about her presence, devotion and knowledge of Taoism and Tantra re-inspired me into a consistent daily practice. (Thank you Halo!!)

In this conversation we discussed feminine and masculine polarity, as well as how to harness those energies for greater balance, ease and grace. When we set in place a structure (the masculine), our more feminine qualities can be more fully expressed... This conversation is full of gems, especially if you wish to deepen on a devotional path.

 

In this episode we discussed:

  • How Halo was led to the path of Taoism and Temple Dance

  • What is Tantra? And how does it apply to our Modern World

  • Halo’s Daily Sadhana

  • Devotion & Discipline and the Value of Both

  • The Role of the Priestess

  • How to Activate Your Inner King and Queen 

  • Halo’s upcoming India retreat and online programs

Halo Seronko is the founder and lead instructor of the international and online school Shakti Temple Arts; a school with the mission to re-awaken the feminine traditions of spiritual pursuit such as Temple Dance, Classical Tantra Yoga and the Taoist Feminine Arts.

Living between the holy land of India and the USA for the past 10 years, Halo has been bridging the worlds by bringing ancient traditions of Shakti embodiment to the West. While in India she studies Classical Indian Temple Dance, Tantra, Yoga and goes on extensive pilgrimages to sacred sites of the Goddess. The mysteries of the feminine and of the womb have been her guiding lights upon her quest for deeper and deeper embodied understanding of the Goddess, and thus she has been diving deep into ancient practices of Shakti cultivation from various traditions for the past decade.

Shakti Temple Arts is Halo’s offering to the rise of the Divine Feminine. Through time tested lineages of embodiment, consciousness, health and beauty practices, Shakti Temple Arts offers keys to unlocking the soul's yearning for expression of it's innate divinity in THIS life, and in THIS body.

Halo believes that Temple is a vessel for the divine be it an ancient architectural structure, or our very bodies, breath and consciousness. Temple is a way of life that acknowledges the sacred in all that is, and offers reverence and awe in the form of beauty, and the cultivation of awareness.

Halo has brought these sacred arts around the globe online and in live retreats in India, Guatemala, Australia, Greece, Costa Rica and the West coast of the USA.

"There's something about being with a woman giving birth that just doesn't even compare to performing on stage in front of thousands of people"

 

In this episode we discussed: 

  • Hope’s first experience attending a birth at 19 years old 

  • Her journey to becoming a midwife and experience of attending births

  • The benefits of water birth 

  • How Hope first felt called to the drum

  • Hope’s journey to becoming a mother and giving birth to her daughter at home in water

Hope is a creative force. 
Following spirit and serving humanity as her guides, Hope has walked many paths flowing from & returning to the same source.
Hands in the dirt, beating drumskin, brushing color across canvas, holding a newborn babe, or gathering the tribe; Hope thrives when steeped in raw, fresh energy pulsing around her. She is a visionary who sees the positive direction she wants the world to move toward, and takes the steps she can to manifest it.


Touring Internationally and playing drums with Nahko and Medicine for the People
 since they were first heard of, Hope and Nahko shared a chemistry and frequency which catalyzed Medicine for the People to catapult from busking in the streets to performing in front of well over a hundred thousand people in a few short years. Nahko's music has a message that served as a call to the global conscious community for justice, truth talking, and positive social change.   We were a part of a very special movement. Our music was bringing people together who were healing and wanting to make the world better. 
To Hope, that was one more step in her journey. 

Before that, Hope was a midwife, assisting over 450 births, primarily holistic home and water births, in Africa, Bali, and the US.  Protecting the next generation has always been sacred and close to her heart.  Birth is the moment a fresh soul enters the world and a woman transforms though an extraordinary rite of passage to become a mother.  Hope has always felt honored to spend endless hours by a woman's side in her most primal and powerful birthing moments.  The humility and awe in holding humanity in its first breaths have given Hope a deeper connection, compassion, and grounding in life. 
 This has inspired her to work to raise awareness about families' birth options and the importance of their choices.  Hope created Artemis Healing Arts education program and taught natural birth classes in Peru, Brazil, Bali and at Findhorn Ecovillage, in Scotland, as well as in the US.  

For Hope, the drum has always been a tool of spirit.   Her first teacher was Babatunde Olatunje, who encouraged her to keep playing, and to always play with love.  Drums have taken her around the world; Hope studied with teachers in Brazil, Peru, and West Africa.  She shared the drum with children in India and taught rhythm to youth groups in Guatemala.  Hope has taught over 2,500 students of all ages;  she uses drums to facilitate empowering women's voices in workshops and confidence building with at-risk youth groups.   Drums are a powerful connection to our ancestors.  As ancient healers have always known, when infused with positive vibrations & intentions, drums are potent medicine. 

Hope's connection to nature began as a child and continues to flourish.  Hope co-founded an 
urban non-profit  permaculture education site, Tryon Life Community Farm.  Hope coordinated the education program for years, teaching sustainability techniques such as natural building, permaculture gardening, social ecology, and the arts.  Hope participated in the Global peace walk for 8 years.  She later served for 3 years on the Board of Directors of Honor the Earth, the environmental justice non-profit protecting indigenous lands in North America, founded by Winona La Duke and supported by the Indigo Girls.  Most recently, Hope has allied with the protectors of Mauna Kea, who currently have been standing in peaceful protest for months to prevent development on sacred indigenous land in Hawaii. 

Much of her passion is expressed in rich color and paint.  Painting since she was a child, Hope has experimented with nearly every artistic medium she could get her hands on.  As a result, many of her works are mixed media, often incorporating wood, feather, stone, metal, pencil, marker, watercolor, and acrylic - integrating them into delicate lines and powerful bold swaths of color to tell a story of women's power, strength and beauty.  Creating images of empowered women has been a life long devotion;  in response to being raised in a world where women have not been treated fairly or equally to men, and the earth has been ravaged due to this imbalance between masculine and feminine forces..   Her art is currently shown at the beautiful Wild Heartist Gallery in Hilo, Hawaii. 

Hope's Musical Journey continues forward, she has recorded 3 solo albums, and her sound has been described as 'hypnotic world beat with maternal soul'. Recently when Hope evacuated Hawaii in the 2018 lava flow, she temporarily relocated to 
the Blue Ridge Mountains where she began a new musical project, a trio of women called CedarWing, described as 'world soul folk with a groove'.  CedarWing recently recorded their first album which has not yet been released! ...wait for it!! 

Hope co-founded MAnaFest music, arts & education festival in Hawaii i
n 2015, inspired by the transition from touring full time with Nahko, to giving birth to her daughter.  While playing at festivals across the world, Hope recognized the imbalance of the number professional male performers to female.  She is committed to helping women find their voice and share it!  MAnaFest is a festival that honors the sacred feminine; it is run by women, featuring over 25 female performers, 25 workshops led by women, 5 female live artists, dancers, ceremony, red tent, grandmothers council and more- all on the beautiful grounds of  tropical permaculture retreat center and spa! MAnaFest is inclusive of all people, everyone is welcome.  There is a grandfathers council and purple tent to honor men and gender fluid community.  2020 Clear Vision is the theme of this upcoming 5th annual MAnaFest Jan 24, 25 & 26 - Join us! (manafestival.org) 

Hope loves to teach 
and give back to her community.  Join her on the Big Island of Hawaii for one of her upcoming juicy workshops:  

Raising Our Voices - 3 day music empowerment workshop, teaching alongside professional songstresses Mama Crow and Mary Isis,  Jan 28, 29 & 30 (starting after MAnaFest)

088 | Healing the Womb with Meredith Rom

20m · Published 14 Nov 02:25

Available for a Limited Time: Healing the Womb: 1:1 Sessions to Heal the Past and Activate Your Manifestation Power: http://www.risingwomenleaders.com/womb

A few weeks ago I visited Maui, considered the Sacral Chakra of the islands and heard the voice of Gaia say, “Heal their wombs to heal the planet.”

And I realized there’s a skill I have that I haven’t been sharing with you.

When I began offering somatic healing modalities in my work, I discovered almost all the women I was working with had experienced some form of sexual abuse or trauma related to the womb in their life.

I saw how when we addressed those old wounds and brought love and healing to the memories, these women were so much more confident, excited and ready to move forward with their dreams.

Over the past three years I’ve worked with women who’ve experienced traumatic hospital birth experiences, abortion, miscarriage, and physical or sexual abuse. As we healed these memories, both big and small, I watched as they began to shine ever more brightly.

I now know 1 out of every 2 women has experienced some form of sexual abuse or womb violation in her life.

These experiences directly affect our ability to feel like we matter, we are worthy, and that what we have to say is of importance. It hinders our self-esteem, makes us want to play small and hide away from the world.

As a certified Matrix Re-imprinting practitioner, EFT facilitator, trained coach, initiated Priestess and compassionate listener, it is my mission to reach more women who are holding on to these difficult memories that are holding them back from taking courageous steps and living at their highest potential.

Some challenges you may be experiencing if you you’ve had a violation:

  • not able to hold boundaries
  • not feeling like your voice matters
  • unable to charge what you’re really worth
  • questioning and doubting your creative projects
  • feeling stuck or stagnant
  • disconnected from the energy of creation and your inherent power

When the womb is violated and we feel a trauma we often disconnect from this sacred power center because there is just too much pain or shame.

Do you struggle with feeling safe to receive or experience pleasure?

Do you yearn to feel more confident?

To have better boundaries?

To tap into your feminine power of creation?

To deeply believe in yourself?

In the month of November I’m offering 1:1 sessions to

087 | The Way of Tea, Meditation & Liberation with Baelyn Elspeth

1h 4m · Published 11 Oct 16:00

How often have you created a whole conversation in your mind ~ a conversation that hasn’t even happened?

In this episode, Baelyn and I talk about the craziness of the mind. In particular, the fear, the illusions and projections we create that so often lead to separation.

To move from a thought to an action, the nature of the mind can create such a drain of our energy. That’s why Baelyn begins every morning with meditation and tea ceremony.

In this week’s episode we talk about Cha Dao, or The Way of Tea, a way of being ~ slowing down, finding clarity and intention while living with devotion, discipline and focus.

We discuss what it takes to cut through the chatter of the mind and remember true stillness. Baelyn also shares how she navigates work relationships, sisterhood and vulnerability. This conversation is truly full of so many gems… we hope you enjoy tuning in!

“Tea is a plant teacher, a spirit of Nature, manifested through this Leaf and awakened by hot water. Used in ceremony, it is a dance between the elements, a sensory exploration of presence, where everything is connected by space.” ~ Baelyn

In this episode we discussed:

  • Why Baelyn chooses to create offerings in collaboration

  • How Baelyn came to be on a spiritual path 

  • How tea found her (and not the other way around)

  • Her greatest insights and lessons from tea + silent meditation

  • Baelyn’s morning practice 

  • How Baelyn navigates the “stories” we create about other women (and how to handle jealousy and comparison in sisterhood) 

  • How to  create a space of healing and intimacy when you’re triggered

  • The truth about fear and how to navigate it

  • Baelyn’s upcoming Warrior Priestess training

Baelyn Elspeth grew up in Los Angeles studying dance from the time she was 4. This affinity with movement provided a doorway into her relationship with spirit, health and the body. She has since journeyed into deeper connections with Self through studying Yoga, Tea and Meditation. She is under the lineage and instruction of the Tea Sage Hut Center in Taiwan and works with Tea as a daily practice to cultivate stillness and presence.

Over the years, her path has evolved toward deepening her relationship to Mother Earth and the Sacred Feminine. Holding space with song and rhythm have also become key elements in her offerings. Whether serving traditional Tea Ceremonies, or holding ritual space through sound and drum, for her, all these paths are ways of being a vessel for spirit and consciousness.

Currently Baelyn travels and devotes her time to sharing and facilitating sacred spaces for communities all around the world, bringing the medicine of Tea and Ceremony wherever she goes. She primarily focuses on collaborative efforts and so along side the offerings of other practitioners, she holds retreats, workshops, and is a council member of the annual women’s gathering Spirit Weavers. She also curates and nurtures a permanent home for Tea, Ceremony, and the Sacred Arts at AY^AM in Playa Del Rey, CA and Santa Fe, NM.

50m · Published 27 Sep 16:00

Have you ever wondered why empaths and narcissists are often so attracted to each other? Or what it means when people talk about co-dependency?

In this conversation today with Leah Morris we dive into the topic of relationships - especially the kinds of unhealthy patterns so many of us can fall into. We discuss what they are, how to avoid them, and also how to attract the kind of love that is deep, true and long-lasting…

In this episode we discussed:

  • Leah’s journey after divorce and what it really meant to fall in love again - with relationships, career, life, and self

  • Co-dependency - what it is, how to know if you’re co-dependent

  • Leah’s experience of stepping into healthier relationships

  • Why narcissists end up with highly sensitive and empathic people

  • The power of language and a simple tool we can use to shift how we communicate with more confidence and authenticity

  • How to step OUT of a victim mindset

Leah Morris is a Relationship Transition Coach, founder of Life Remade, published writer, and speaker. She helps people to authentically  process their feelings, thoughts, and emotions in order to give them a deeper understanding of themselves and others. 

Her 1:1 work consists of 3 main areas: relationship trauma recovery, communication skills enhancement, and  empowered personal development.

She specializes in helping her clients gain a solid sense of Self Worth, develop unshakable intuitive Confidence, and heal after emotional Heartbreak so they can find the deep and meaningful connections that they’ve been yearning for.

From Leah: “Through my personal journey, I've experienced what brokenness feels like. It's dark and small. I lived a life of being "powerless," placing my self-worth in anything but myself, wanting others to love me more than I was loving me, giving up my whole life to play a supporting role in everyone else's... just to have it all fall apart. When I finally woke up, I found myself feeling exhausted, alone, and purposeless. It's here where I’ve gained insights that have allowed me to step into my own power, to trust myself so much that my actions reflect my truth, to know the value of deeply listening to my inner voice and finding connection with others, and to not let my fears lead my life.

When we lose touch with our instincts, everything else doesn't seem to make much sense. Through my creativity and innovative perspective, I help guide you to discover new ways to redirect you toward YOUR dreams. My ability to focus on you, read between the lines, ask the right questions and offer sincere advice and feedback comes from an insatiable curiosity and commitment to your personal development. I know how it feels to finally come out of the dark, and it's my life's passion to get you there too.”
