MEDICINE WOMAN - a journey of conscious descent to meet with the Shadow Self: An Initiation.
Our signature seven day process offers a necessary rite of passage that supports healing and integration in order to come into conversation with one’s internal landscape, particularly the aspects still largely occupied by the archetypal maiden, or inner child, who is thirsty for spiritual nourishment and yearning to step into authentic maturation and her deep Self.
Young 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 widely accepted ‘measure’ for maturation neglects the crucial inner process of a woman’s development, specifically her psychological, emotional and spiritual evolution.
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 gifts in order to adapt and fit into the celebrated yang-culture, leading to disharmony and dis-regulation in mind, body and psyche.
During our seven days together we undertake a journey to retrieve, integrate and renew lost modes of consciousness that have exiled themselves into the unconscious terrain, commonly as a result of unprocessed trauma.
Locked in a state of stagnation, powerlessness, voicelessness, inaction and dissociation, trauma can have debilitating effects on our capacity to step into our whole selves, to feel fully alive and in our bodies, emotionally literate and to move through our days with a sense of creative inspiration and agency. These shut-down and exiled parts are at the root of our individual and collective dis-ease, and in an increasingly disjointed society that devalues spiritual healthfulness, it is a revolutionary act to tend to the language of the soul.
You will be invited inwards to a state of deep listening and restoration of the feminine principle, to retrieve what has been collectively banished through the generations. A journey that holds unquestionable potency when experienced at the embodied cellular level – a work that is not for the faint of heart.
Our only prerequisite is that participants arrive with a sense of curiosity to dive into the full mystery of the parts of themselves they are willing to let die in order to be reborn on the other side of this initiation.
Join us, if you feel so called.
