Greetings, Sister,

The tide of the Divine Feminine is rising. She is making Her Return in big and small ways across the planet.

Did you happen to witness the holy spectacle of Beyonce in full-on Goddess Glory, taking center stage at the Grammy’s on Sunday?

The Great Mother in golden awesomeness proclaiming, “If we are going to heal, Let It Be Glorious.”

Yes.

More, please.

Since the election I’ve had an idea gestating inside of me.

As I watched the escalation of misogyny and entrenchment of the patriarchy… as the already repressive and archaic laws against women’s reproductive health and lives began to be targeted and ratcheted up by the new regime, my Ancient Source-eress began to stir.

The long dormant dragon wanting to Breathe Fire and burn it all down.

Ages and ages of silence and repression, abuse and oppression. The ignorance and violence unchecked and unfettered.

It is a lot to bear.

And this time there is more at stake than ever before.

We don’t have time for retribution.

Reparations can never be made for all We have lost. For the pain of what has come before.

At least not by those who have taken it from Us.

In our long winter of patriarchal submission, we have forgotten we are the Mistresses of our own Destiny.

Our Liberation lies in Our own hands, Our own hearts, Our own wombs.

We have been unwitting co-conspirators in our own captivity.

Holding signs of protests outside the capitol walls, while men legislate what will and won’t be done to bodies that don’t belong to them.

Cooking up punishments and admonishments meant to demean and control the wildness of the “loose" and “irresponsible" women who are clearly unable to govern themselves.

We’ve played that game long enough. Our learning has come to fruition.

It is time for Us to step back into our rightful place as stewards of All Of Life.

Claiming our throne of Creation AND Destruction.

Seating ourselves in Own-Her-Ship of the vessels of our bodies - and our Queendom of all that happens there.

On Wild Soul Medicine Radio this week, I convened a Wisdom Council of Beloved students of this work.

The work of The Goddess.

They are a radical stand for refusing to participate in their own enslavement.

They are committed to Coming Undone.

Over and over again.

They have laid themselves bare in service of liberation around their experiences of abortion.



Each of them has had one. Some more than one.

And we have been doing powerful healing work around those experiences.

Revolutionary Work.

I am endlessly moved by their courage and their commitment to Becoming.

When I invited them to share their stories with you, we were all more than a little nervous.

This is not something that is talked about in polite society. In fact, it is not something that is really talked about much anywhere.

Maybe with your therapist or your most intimate confidantes, but in general - no woman wants to add to her shameful/private/painful/liberating/sometimes traumatic experience of having gone through the abortion - by actually sharing that information with lots of other people.

The insidious vines of patriarchy run deep inside of us - even and especially into our yonis.

They have Us by the Womb. 

As we internalize the shame and the barely legal-ness of these “regrettable” circumstances, we play right into the hands of the dance.

Until we don’t.

Until we give ourselves permission to take ourselves off the sacrificial table.

Until we stand visibly and clearly in our own Truth.

Until we sit together in a Wisdom Council of women who know Us and ARE Us to share our experiences and support one another in making choices that support our own Soul’s path.

Until we Return to our connection to the Ways of nature and the cycle of life and how the universe ACTUALLY works.

Until we liberate our life force from repressing our own Selves through shame and guilt and secrecy.

Until Now.
I invite you to stand with Us this week as we open part one of a two part conversation with these Brave Souls.

Highlights to listen for:

(05:25) Are you leaking life force?

(11:40) Meet the Panel

(28:30) No harm, No foul

(35:30) Mistakes, Gifts, and Teachers

(42:00) Where patriarchy lives inside of Us

(58:10) “I thought for so many years... that everything was fine, I’d made a choice and that was that. But  when I ended up having a clearing around this, it was astonishing to me the amount of space that was cleared in my system.” - Kristi

If you’ve had an abortion, are considering an abortion, are a mother, a grandmother, a wife, a daughter, a girlfriend, a partner, a sister, a never had or never would have an abortioner, if you have a Yoni… you are welcome in this space.

This is Our business.

Come. Let’s See what’s True.

This is how We do it.

Together.
