Womb Alchemy: Leading From Your Full, Female Self

“Attending to personal fate during planetary war is a guerrilla skill and collective endeavor. Nothing is truly personal. We are a compound dream, cohering. I have not found a difference between outside and inside—war is everywhere, and we can’t estimate the impact of our efforts toward integrity.” - Erin Langley

Dear Women,

A new time is rising. 

So many of us have been raped, shackled, silenced, confused, isolated, abused. And yet we are still here, so fiercely alive in this moment of reckoning. Your presence is integral to a greater unfolding. It is time we gather around our abundant and formidable strengths. 

You know this.

Let us ready ourselves to transmute patriarchy’s presence. 

I dreamed this circle up in a community of women, and in conversations with friends who are survivors, as we gape, gobsmacked at the enormity of the Epstein, Pelicot, and Chavez revelations. It feels good to be in this unfolding…when we are together. I want to be in it with you. Because each time I try for the edges of my mind and how I show up, I am most buoyed by being seen, heard, and held by other women. 

We are being called into the ancient technology of circling.

I warmly invite you to join us in a multi-sensory round of bodies who will gather, virtually, for 12 weeks. 

We will move closer to the body of our mother earth.

We will love and listen to one another.

We will deepen our presence. 

We will likely cry, and we will most certainly laugh.

We will know our specificities – feeling the overlaps, as well as the divergences.

We will inhabit our own minds and bodies more fully.

We will hold the injustice and tension of our times together. 

We will make vows to ourselves, in glorious concert.

We will reshape our world.

It might just bring you closer to your whole self than you’ve ever been.

I will provide a facilitated space for us to:

• use writing and somatic tools for accessing the wisdom of of our bodies

• practice deep listening - to ourselves, and one another

• set deeply personal goals for how we engage in justice work

• build unity, accountability, and power alongside one another as we face the opportunity/peril of living in these times

• train our attention on what makes us feel most alive and joyful so we can stay juicy and connected to something larger than ourselves in this ongoing work

• move from confusion to clarity, from paralysis to power, personally and collectively  

• and finally, we will be joined by some powerful guest facilitators, so stay tuned!
