info_outline"what is the difference between
your experience of existence and that of a saint?
the saint knows that the spiritual path
is a sublime chess game with god
and that the beloved has just made such a fantastic move
that the saint is now continually tripping over joy,
and bursting out in laughter, and saying, 'I Surrender!'
whereas you, my dear...
i am afraid you still think
you have a thousand serious moves."

this episide is my magical quest toward more deeply understanding and embodying the truth + power of my **feminine essence**
it's quite the heroine's journey!
...here are some highlights--
- unraveling our definition of what it means to be a "successful woman"
- listening to our feminine BIOLOGY over our societally programmed IDEOLOGY
- reclaiming feminine well-being (aka- BEING the WELLspring) from the drought of over-doing
- harnessing the power of feminine magnetism to >>attract<< our desires in an organic, pleasureful, deeply generative way
- dismantling our (masculinized) impulse of going to battle with life in attempt to !conquer! our desires
- the art of feminine submission (to a much greater will)
- why impeccability with our feelings is THE most effective + efficient use of feminine energy
- increasing our literal + metaphorical fertility (our ability to CONCIEVE of our own dreams and creations)
- how to become radically responsible for OUR OWN TURN ON
- why it is so profoundly rewarding for the entire family unit to have the woman/ mother in her deepest pleasure and joy
- one of the single greatest threats to our feminine essence = RUSHING (aka- time scarcity)
- the power of relinquishing decision-making (getting good at being LED)
- cultivating ecstaty~joy~love~abundance from scratch (and mastering the EXPANSE and INTENSIFICATION of them when they're present)
- and sooo much more <3
