Celebrating the last full moon of summer and the lunar eclipse the evening before last…my daughter a little backpack on me down to the back door into the night in our nightshirts her last words before sleep slipped in mama don’t forget to wake me for the eclipse her only words beholding the moon somewhere past midnight, well it looks like any other moon. Ahh beloved daughter, beloved daughters of all daughters of all daughters that have ever, ever been…under ancient eternal skytide of cycles of infinity dance, yes, yes! So it is.

So she is.

Here a pic from this week, meditating a long while in the good clean moonlight, how mama moon always, always is my balm of calm.

I am SO EXCITED to share about expanding my central professional interest again, which has always been reclaiming the sacred feminine. I spent 2013 into the early part of 2015 researching stories of the sacred or divine feminine through the ages in order to create an applied praxis of this for therapeutic women’s embodiment. This was while attending Pacifica Graduate Institute for my Masters in Depth Counseling. My interests evolved after graduating and returning home to the east coast in the States into creating the nonprofit The Demarva Free School, where we do restorative mental health recovery and ecopsychology. We have a lovely women’s group and a successful applied practice of making Sacred Women’s Mysteries accessible in a hands on way.

Launching this Fall, I am seeking to expand our community into a virtual space on Substack:

https://wildwomenwisdom.substack.com

Paid Subscribers at any level will all be considered our founding members. The benefit of becoming a paid Subscriber will be access to Live Virtual Journeys with us.

For the sake of our work, I will call Journey the practice of going within specifically to explore Otherworlds of Psyche and realms of Sacred Imaginal (see Carl Jung)1. T

This Fall and Winter, journey with us. You are invited to explore the Underworld of shadow and swampland spaces (see James Hollis)2 to make allies in the dark with the Dark Mother or Dark Feminine.

The first 100 Subscribers are being offered this chance at $7 a month, or pay at once $56 for the year (which is a $28 discount).

All proceeds made from these subscriptions will directly support The Delmarva Free School and our Pay It Forward mission to bring trauma-informed restorative, nature-based mental health recovery to our little corner of the world.

Our first Journey will go live the week of the Fall Equinox and be a free teaser for anyone who wishes to join…Stay tuned, help us spread the word, and subscribe now!
