#105 | What I Learned About Womanhood from a Respected Elder

About This Episode

In this episode I dive into my experience after a women’s only temazcal (sweat lodge) experience that awakened something beautiful inside me. We got into maternal and paternal lineage, the female initiation of childbirth, vision quests, the sacred gifts men and women carry, and more.

I talk about women’s responsibility to pray for men, the double power of singing our prayers, and the art of revealing ourselves. I also explain in more detail the concept of holding space and how the Ancients knew all about what is now referred to as ‘parts’ work by psychotherapists.
