Today, I want to speak to the women in our community…
Ladies, we have a challenge set before us. Are you up for it?
Since the end of 2016, Iâve been positioning myself to answer the call to create a global sisterhood. Through private events at the Sanctuary (my home in Asheville) like The Goddess Vision Quest, my private coaching practice, several of our programs such as Sleep Your Fat Away or the Full Moon Spell Book + Ritual, and the upcoming Goddess Renaissance Retreat, weâve had a collection of women rise to join us in the feminine movement.
There is no doubt that The Feminine is rising. Women from all over the world are beginning to step into their power and remember the truth of who they are. Itâs happening on a deep, personal level for each of us, but itâs also being showcased on a bigger scale.
You can see it in the countless female characters being showcased in movies & on TV and in the increasing amount of women taking on the roles of business owners and CEOs. Sure, there is still a lot of room for us to grow, but the movement is happening.
ButâŠ
What Iâve come to realize is that there is a key piece of this revolution that needs some work⊠sisterhood!
Definition of sisterhood: the state of being a sister – âA sisterly relationshipâ and âA community or society of sisters (especially as a society of a religious order)â
I donât see us as being a religious order, but rather a society of empowered women.
We women were built to be in community with one another and weâre actually designed to flourish and thrive in the love, honor and support of other women.
But when you think of two or more women coming together, what comes to mind?
More often than not, when we think of women coming together, we think of the fantasies of men. We think of gossip, backstabbing, competition, and. DRAMA. We also think of our pains and traumas from our own mothers, aunts, grandmothers and sisters.
Weâve been conditioned and patterned to believe that being vulnerable and open in front of other women is unsafe. The truth is, for our personal evolution to be complete (or to truly ever start!), we must enter into conscious sisterhood.
âThe truth is, for our personal evolution to be complete (or to truly ever start!), we must enter into a conscious sisterhood.â
In conscious sisterhood, our divine feminine is able to be mirrored and reflected back to us. Through the women we choose to be in community with we are able to see our beauty, our gifts, and our strengths reflected back to us. And, weâre able to see our shadow mirrored in a safe, loving way so that we are able to step even more fully into the greatest version of ourselves.
The challenge we face then is not only do we choose to enter into conscious sisterhood but HOW.
What is the first step to entering into Conscious Sisterhood?
The women that make up our sisterhood spread all over the globe – from Italy to Germany to the U.S, to Russia, to China and beyond. Each of these women is coming from different backgrounds, religions, with all kinds of different life stories and triggers, and their own baggage and emotions that each one of them brings to the table.
Itâs beautiful but at the same time, itâs also challenging because we have to see – behind all of these different beliefs that we have going on, and all these different things we may be bringing to the table – what do all of us women actually have in common?
This whole sisterhood movement that we have is about a common demeanour that we have, and that common demeanour is our sacred sexuality, that feminine energy that we are. No matter what separates us and makes us feel different, us women must come together to realize that we are one.
When I look at the work that I do with women all over the world, whether theyâre my clients, or my students in a workshop, or my friends, I can see that the issues we all struggle with are the same.
If I look at the red flags of women that I am in contact with the most, these are the four groups that they seem to fall into – see if you resonate with any of them:
âI am struggling.âI have this group of women who are right now saying, âI am strugglingâ – with relationships, with health concerns, with messy break ups, depression, etc. Theyâre struggling with a major life change, or a major transition in their lives and itâs intense. Itâs rough, itâs raw, and they need help.
âI want to be of service.âAnother group says, âI wanna be of service, I wanna contribute, but how I can be of service? How can I put myself out there and have a great life? I just donât know where to start.â Itâs also that kind of woman who feels lost in the maze of possibility⊠âShould I do this? Should I do that? I donât know.â
âMy life is toxic.âThe third group Iâve identified are those who are currently immersed in a toxic environment. These are women who are noticing that theyâre in an environment that doesnât support them. They feel lonely, disconnected like theyâre alone and not in a place where they can really spread their wings and fly.
âIâm depleted.â(the go-go-goers)The fourth group is women who are so used to constantly going. These are women who are usually successful in what theyâre doing. Theyâre high achievers, very ambitious women, and they’re actually at the brink of a burnout. These are the ones of us who feel depleted, numb, stressed, and it feels so chronic that itâs become a daily state.If you can see yourself represented in one of these four groups, raise your hand.Know that you are NOT alone.There are women raising their hands to you all over the world.
Now, about that challengeâŠAre you ready to step into Conscious Sisterhood?
If youâre ready, leave us a comment here on Facebook.
In the coming weeks and months, Iâll be sharing more about sisterhood and what it takes to be in conscious community with other women. Iâll be sharing more about healing our past wounds with the feminine, compassionate communication, and how to go from one of these four groups mentioned above into thriving women. If thereâs a topic youâre extra excited to learn more about, Iâd love to hear about it! Leave us a comment on Facebook.
