Quote
When we have the courage to claim space for ourselves. When we risk creativity. When we relish our sensuality. When we honor our lives and their experiences as valuable. When we create from a female body, expressing ourselves in a woman’s voice, using a woman’s language. We begin to bloom.

Quote
May yours be the sparkle of light on the ocean,The whisper of foam on the sea,The warm sand guiding your feet safely home,A pebble in your pocket from me.Some sea glass, a starfish, some driftwood, a whelk,Treasures washed up on the shore.A flower, a feather, an urchin, a pearl,Keep your eyes open for more.May you know yourself held in the palm of Her hand,Blessed by the waves wild and free,Blown by the wind, anointed with salt,Beloved of She of the Sea.

Where do you go when your body is broken? Who can you call on when your mind is shattered into a thousand pieces, your skin is on fire and your soul lies crumpled on the floor?

Quote
You are the medicine, woman,If you dare to embody your healing,If you step out of the life you had, The life they tell you that you must lead,And step with shaking faith, onto another path,A path of healing,Defined by your boundaries and needs.If you are prepared to step out of our sick cultureYou will step into the healing place.

Quote
Somewhere I lost myself.I lost the beat of my heart as my own drum.I have a sense that it was the same time I lost Medicine Woman. One day my soul slipped out of my body. Or maybe it was pulled too hard. Or shocked away. I don’t know.But I know that I lost Her. And have been sick ever since. An orphaned child In a world that does not feel like home.

We are learning that before the body can become a temple, it first must become our home.

Quote
One of the lies of patriarchy is that the sickness is our fault as individuals. That sickness is shameful and should be suffered in silence, so as not to bring others down. When in truth sickness is all around us all the time. It runs down family lines, it runs through communities, it runs along rivers, it is carried in the air, by touch. Illness, mental or physical, is very, very rarely an individual thing. The shame and fear we carry in silence is a burden to our healing.

Quote
Who is She? She is your power, your Feminine source. Big Mama. The Goddess. The Great Mystery. The web-weaver. The life force. The first time, the twentieth time you may not recognize her. Or pretend not to hear. As she fills your body with ripples of terror and delight.But when she calls you will know you’ve been called. Then it is up to you to decide if you will answer.
