Today we honor the mothers in our lives, the nurturers, the unconditional supporters and givers of love and compassion.
As with the grandmother archetype, the role of mother often does not strictly mean biological in nature.
The world is ready and yearning for our sacred leadership. All over the world women are rising to lead in a different way. Do you feel the call? A restless energy, a deep yearning to be of service to the transformation thatโs taking place around you?
As embodiments of the universal consciousness, the "Feminine Divine" (as Joseph Campbell so eloquently called it), we are being called forward to help birth this new world, based on what we have learned and continue to learn from healing our shadows and the wounds of the modern-day patriarchal systems. We are reclaiming our worth, our voices, and remembering our healing feminine gifts of intuition, vision, compassion, creativity, collaboration, and wisdom.

These past two years, with all the masks, and lockdowns and self-isolations, has made it difficult for us to play together, but as many of our elder grandmothers would say, this too shall pass. ---- We are about one week away from being with each other - learning about resilience practices and celebrating the wisdom within us all! It will be wonderful! It always is! **๐๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ง๐๐ฑ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฌ.
In our research about the yearโs theme, we have come across some most interesting articles about resilience.
Studies have shown that the ability to persevere through life's struggles gets easier the older we get, not because we as women have succumbed, but because some of us have learned how to turn setbacks into comebacks.
We are so grateful to have such funny, witty, caring, confident, and wise women among us - who know how to laugh and love with their whole heart!

The birthing of our worldโs new paradigm is in need of more midwives, elders and healers. Our circles of connection and the people and circumstances in our spheres of influence are starving for guidance and mentors. ---- We are so excited to explore this topic of resilience as spiritual practice during our gathering together. We will share more soon on the topic and how creative and collaborative communities can learn to adapt, respond and regenerate when working with and listening to our healing gifts.
Until next time, blessings and love!
