Which power place is calling you now? Power places are those sacred lands that are connected to our soul story over many incarnations. Places that awaken a remembrance within us, and hold unique gifts and power for us now.

Some stories need time to be told, as they steep and infuse our deepest being for months or years. This is one of them for me. I’d been journeying with Sophia for about a year, as she came to me in visions and shamanic journeys. Now, I knew she was calling, physically.

Today I’d like to share five books with you that have been foundational on my Feminine Awakening journey, and that I recommend regularly to friends and to the women I work with.

If these times mark the re-emergence of the sacred feminine, they also herald the return of the benevolent, sensual magician, and his marvelous generative, alchemical capacities in service to life.

Dewi Danu is the primordial water goddess in Balinese Hinduism, and she and her ceremonial shrine are the highest on the island. Danu, a word connected to primeval waters in many traditions, is also the name of an ancient Celtic mother goddess.

The wave of post-apocalyptic movies over the past decade brings up the question: are we collectively fearing something that could happen to humanity at the apex of some great devolution, or are we remembering something that’s already happened to us long ago?

For my birthday, we set off for an adventure I'd been dreaming of for years. When I first came to Bali in 2016, I heard of a small village nestled in the mountains, across a lake and only accessible by boat, where a mystical tree stood, under which the villagers kept their dead.

Today, I invite you to have a feel into an amazing, forgotten feminine archetype: Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld. Ereshkigal represents our shadow self, our exiled self, and our disowned shadows and wounds.

Our family of origin holds many of the keys to our spiritual destiny. By choosing to be a guardian of our lineage, we offer up our life and our womb as a chalice of love, where the wounds, disappointments, lost dreams, and heartbreaks of the past can be heard, felt, alchemized, and healed.

When I was 17, I met a Buddhist monk who changed my life. I was in the middle of an enormous heartbreak, so devastating it seemed I would never recover. My family and I were invited to a weekend meditation retreat in the countryside, under the guidance of this monk.

Flashback to Isla Mujeres, Mexico, when my friend Nadley and I had been desperately trying to dance the night away — alas, the party was nowhere to be found. And instead, across from where we parked our golf cart, there was this gorgeous mural.

The priestess invites us into our deep spiritual power — how much can we listen to our womb intuition? An amazing power resides within the womb-heart of every woman. Beyond logic or intellect, beyond the patriarchal energies or chaos of the world.

Dare to follow the tracks. To that mystery land that’s calling you across the world. To that temple door inside your heart that tells you of forgotten love stories. To the dreams that others have long forsaken or refuse to believe in.

My biggest initiation has been to let my red river flow. To accept to lose friends, lovers, validation, and safety in the process. To let go of money, status, 'fitting in’, and of a secure path that society can recognize and praise.

In the Feminine Mysteries, wells are deeply significant. They symbolize the passageway into the Womb mysteries, into the Cosmic Womb, where the Unknowable awaits.

Three years ago I sat in a car on the side of the road feeling like I was dying. I was driving cross country after leaving a love I thought could never end. A hell ride of a trauma-bonded love myth that had awakened every forgotten piece of my soul, my essence, my sexuality and dreams of union.

‘Dragons’ refer to cosmic and earthly creative intelligences — the birthing powers at the heart of our universe. In today’s article, I’d like to explore the elemental aspect of the dragons with you, and identify which dragon holds your home element.

There is a massive movement happening worldwide, revealing the predatory abuse and misuse of power that have run rampant among some of the most influential companies and organizations. It’s equally important for us to understand how the same energies operate in spiritual circles.

Along all spiritual journeys comes a point, a sacred threshold where all externals give way to a magnetic call asking us to go inside, beckoning us to move deep within our core. It may feel like a nameless longing for something ancient we once knew, or like being thrown into the breathtaking unknown.
