A spiritual journey of conscious descent to meet with the shadow self is not a mainstream event in today’s western culture. This is unfortunate, as it is the necessary rite of passage that supports and nurtures the psycho-spiritual process throughout pivotal stages of a woman’s life.

Women today are largely unguided through these major transitions and are equally conditioned to believe that womanhood is defined by reaching specific goal posts such as marriage, children and a successful career.

This misrepresentation conditions her to adopt a more masculine shape; she trades her intuitive knowing for intellectual knowledge, her cyclic nature for linear success. In other words, she abandons her innate feminine nature in order to adapt and fit into the celebrated yang-culture, leading to disharmony and dis-regulation in mind, body and psyche.

This widely accepted ‘measure’ for maturation neglects the crucial inner process of a woman’s development, specifically her psychological, emotional, sexual and spiritual evolution.

Arriving at her “destination”, she discovers that beneath her outward-facing persona her internal landscape is still largely occupied by the archetypal maiden, or the inner child, who is thirsty for spiritual nourishment and who yearns to step into her authentic maturation and deep Self.

The Medicine Process offers the space for this necessary and crucial rite of passage inorder to retrieve, integrate and renew lost modes of consciousness supporting her through the continual process of initiation and evolution.
