Feminine Mysteries Oracle Dear friends, I was listening to some reporting on the radio about Linsday Clancey and how this is bringing forward the conversation about maternal mental health. My friend Rachel used the word revenant which is generally defined as someone who returns (to life). That she "returned" to expose an invisible but systemic flaw so that we might root out the problem. In the radio piece the expert said that this highlights the fact that there is nothing specific in the DSM...

Feminine Mysteries Oracle Dear friends, [from Dawn] I’ve started writing emails to you a few times in the last couple of weeks and every time I get stuck because there’s something that needs to be said at the outset, but it feels like a hard thing to say because I could easily be misunderstood. I ask you to hear this with an open mind because I am saying it with an open heart. I’ve listened to a lot of people that I respect on this topic and I’ve tuned in to my inner sense of truth. I’m...

Feminine Mysteries Oracle Dear friends, Today, we will introduce you to Veronica: I’m Veronica, though some know me as Nomadic Oracle, Veronica Monique. I first picked up a tarot deck when I was seventeen out of pure curiosity. What I didn’t realize at the time was that tarot would become one of the tools that helped me better understand myself and the world around me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been deeply sensitive to the emotions and energies of others. Tarot helped me develop...

Feminine Mysteries Oracle Dear friends, We are honored that you are here! That you're curious enough about this project to stick around through my changes. Many of you have known me (Dawn) for some time. Some of you know me just though my emails and maybe you've attended a class or workshop with me. But you may only know this sliver of me (well, actually it is a big part of me, but not the only part). So I want to take you all back a step, and re-introduce myself. And Veronica. I'm Dawn...

Dear friends, As you know, my work through Sacred Rhythms over the last 11 years has been primarily about birth. The initial impetus was my empowered home birth which led me first to becoming a doula which then opened the floodgates of information and practices surrounding women's bodies, women's power and women's spirituality. It is endless. And yet. Birth inevitably leads to death. And I'm a good starter, but not such a good finisher. Which sometimes means that I've overstayed my welcome....

Dear friends, Well, here I am again. Trying to sell you something that should be free and accessible to everyone! Trying to sell you community care, feminine wisdom and skills learned though living life with conscious awareness. Why should you have to pay to sit around with other women when you could just go catch up at the coffee shop or go for a walk together? Why should you pay to have someone give you journal prompts when you could sit at home in your pjs to write? Why should you pay to...

Dear friends, To all the wonderful women who attended the Skills & Practices class this weekend, I am so grateful for your presence! Thank you all for attending and for opening up. If you missed the class, there will always be more opportunities to gather together for free. When we come together with strangers, I know that sharing can be a big lift. And you might ask, why do it. Why share my personal life with someone I don't really know? We could ask, who is the sharing for? It is not...

Dear friends, I have a gift for you: While you read this, place your hands somewhere on your body. Maybe press your palms together, or give yourself a light hug, or place your hands on your thighs. Take a breath in and a breath out. Connect with the sensations in your hands. With each breath, feel from your hands the sensation of your body, and feel from your body, the sensation of your hands. Take another breath. Go. Do that now. I'll wait. (Eyes closed heightens the experience if that is...

Dear friends, When you walk into a room full of strangers, and your body has a response that is instantaneous, sometimes subtle and totally out of the control of your rational mind, do you feel confident? Or terrified? Or like you WANT to ACT confident, but you just can't get yourself to approach a group of women standing and laughing together? What about when you walk into your favorite coffee shop and the barista greets you by name? That has a totally different feel! When I say its about...
