A great number of us who are on the journey of re-connecting with the Divine Feminine have first gone through the process of rejecting the feminine all together.

I had always thought I was an anomaly, having mostly male friends – as hanging around with women most times meant conversations revolving around gossip, jealousy, competitiveness, passive aggressiveness etc. Spending time with male friends was just simpler and less draining.
When I began sitting in women’s circles through – and hearing from other women – I was surprised to discover that many of them had actually felt the same at some stage.
Spending some time mulling this over I have pieced together why it makes so much sense.
Demolish the Old to build the New
I believe that to build something new you first have to demolish the old. Unbeknown to me, I had to fully reject this Feminine (the Shadow side of the feminine) to be able to come full circle to find and then accept this Feminine – the authentic or Divine Feminine.
Hundreds of years of toxic patriarchal programming has so heavily ingrained competition onto our female psyche, that it takes a bit of time to re-calibrate to any other way. So, walking away from it all together (to get away from that toxicity) and then slowly finding a way back (that embraces a new way of being feminine) is a journey many of us are taking.
True Feminine Energy
True feminine energy is receptive energy, it’s about connection and understanding. True feminine energy is nurturing, supportive and encouraging.
Many of us have been feeling this call to connect with other women in a space that honours these true feminine qualities. We have been feeling the sheer exhaustion of living in a world of competition with our sisters, of bitchiness, backstabbing and gossip.
Deep within us there is a longing to sit with our sisters, to feel safe to bare our hearts, speak out loud our stories and wounds. A safe space to take off the mask and be authentic and vulnerable, without being judged.
Let’s throw off those masks and be vulnerable!
We need to start now, living by example, to create a new way of being for our daughters and granddaughters.
The change starts with you sister.
