Why do I choose to focus on the health and well being of women when we ALL need so much help and healing right now?
Because I believe women hold a powerful place as the center of our homes, families and communities,
and for far too long the importance of that place has been dishonored, degraded and diminished.
We live within a patriarchal culture. A culture that is all too often violent, aggressive and deadly. Especially towards women.
We all carry the scars from it, they just manifest in different ways. Depression, anxiety, low self esteem, health issues, illness and trauma keep us down. Try to keep us quiet, invisible and tucked away. Keep us from our true selves, our true callings, and happiness. Keep us from being empowered.
But we can help each other heal. We can listen to one another, support each other, work together, and rise up.
We can be mighty, and we can lead our culture towards an existence that no longer inflicts pain,
but encourages healing.
We can transform that which is broken,
into something whole.
Each session I am blessed to have with you is a chance to connect, a chance to share, a chance to listen,
a chance to teach.
So that you can go forward to others and listen and share and connect and teach.
And that’s how we can change. How we can heal. How we can join together. How we can rise up.
We can learn the wise woman skills that allow us to take care of ourselves, our families, and our communities.
The world.
Just like women used to do, just like we do now, just like we always will.
United, courageous, and strong.
Womenfolk.
Yes that is what we are.
Love,
Natasha
