When women gather, we share stories, and we heal. I learned that braiding together of myth, magic and herbal medicine are natural agents of change, and wake up a soul’s remembering in the hearts of women. Here’s why. . .

We have forgotten the value of inner beauty and the wealth of knowledge and well-earned wisdom only a long life well lived can offer.

This is the gift of the archetype of The Crone.

She is a wise woman who has wisdom deeply embedded harvested from her own life experience. She has traversed all the other archetypes, and she finds herself as an elder in her final chapter of life. This is her final ferment, full of taste, flavor, depth, and richness.

There comes a time in a woman’s life when her heart breaks.

Perhaps she gave the deepest part of herself to another person and it was not reciprocated or held with care. Or perhaps it was held with care to the best of that person’s ability, but we’re human and we all make mistakes. The truth is, we are tender, vulnerable and fragile beings. We never learned how to properly love and navigate the complexities of the heart.

The Mother can show up in our lives in many forms: the woman who birthed us, the women who nurture us, and the beautiful earth that provides home and endless bounty.

Perhaps we have been wounded by the Mother — either abandoned and neglected, or suffocated and smothered. So many of us have experienced a disconnect, a severing from the deepest relationship we know.

We are collectively healing our wounds and restoring our trust and devotion to the Big Love.

When we wake up, our brains are in the brainwave states of alpha and theta, the states of calm, receptivity and creative attunement. This is the time when intuition is heightened, and natural insight is at its most pure. It’s here in this subtle space where the bridge between you and your subconscious mind is most accessible. 

Your brainwave states are operating at the optimal frequency for visualizing and actualizing what you most deeply desire in life first thing in the morning.

The phase after shedding the skin is a miraculous one. We begin to see what was already present from a renewed state of awe and beauty. The more we let go of what WAS we candiscover what IS. This is the goal of returning to your Throne, to see yourself in your divine birthright before you accumulated the layers of masks, lies, experiences, titles... all the things that have kept you from connecting with your true nature.

The journey back to YOU begins with peeling back the layers that are covering up your greatness. The lies, the experiences, the trauma, the emotional instability, the roles you’ve acquired, all the things that behave as masks, covering up The Atman, your True Authentic Self. You know when you've outgrown the paradigms and cycles that have kept you feeling small. It’s almost as if you’re no longer comfortable in your own skin and the mirror projects this obscured reflection you no longer recognize.

The golden thread of remembrance travels far back within blood and bone, further than what is comprehensible within linear time. This thread stretches through generations and generations, it is with thousands of Ancestors who have stories of struggle, stories of victory, and stories of a life tending to the Temple. This is the echo of a story of the Temple Keepers of the Great Mystery.

After we explore our senses and drink in the wisdom of the living masters, it is then time to set it all down, and empty the center. Just like the contents of a bowl that is being filled, that bowl will eventually also have to be emptied. If the contents were to stay there, eventually stagnation would occur and those contents would become fetid and sour. By emptying the vessel, we complete the cycle, integrating what we can and then setting it all down and beginning again.

In this space we are joined by the ancients, 4 living masters. These wisdom keepers as old as time, who are continuously shaping the world we live in, shaping our bodies, breathing life into us, and bestowing onto us the manifested magic of the Divine.

Plants are one of the purest forms of divine intelligence and carry the purest energetic imprint of elemental energy. Each plant has its own unique signature, drawing down its connection and imprint from the astral realm.

As we continue to wake up and remember our ancient ways, our connection to these times of offerings and devotion, how do we make space to tune into this ancient archetype that has been hidden away for so long?
