I had an amazing time in NY talking at Mama Gena\’s School of Womanly Arts. It was my third year speaking there, sharing on Unleashing the Goddess Within Through Style. As I was getting ready to speak at this event, I remembered when I contacted this organisation 6 years ago: I found their website and fell in love with them. I thought: \”This is my tribe\”. I contacted them right away and received the standard response: \”Thank you for contacting us and we will keep your application on file.\”
3 years later, I received a phone call from Beth at Mama Gena: she had asked around about a stylist and my name had come up a few times, she wanted to be a guest speaker at their next Fashion Night. OMG!!!! I roar with pleasure. Ecstatic.
As I am reflecting on my journey since I first came across this school, I realise that when I connected with them the first time, I wasn\’t ready. The women enrolled in the course are fearless, hungry for a vibrant life, rediscovering pleasure, awakening in their power, reviving the sacred feminine life force that lies in their wombs. Wild, wise and free.
When they contacted me to speak at their event 3 years ago, I was a different woman, I had crawled in the valley of despair, lost after my divorce. I had explored the darkness of my soul, facing my demons. I had been in teacher training feeling the vibration of the feminine getting together, carrying each other, I had taught classes helping other women drop in their bodies, ground their energy into the earth, open up to their emotions and surrender to their truth. I was raw, primal, emotional, daring, ravaged, revived. I was ready.
As I have spent the last 7 years rediscovering my truth, exploring my feminine essence and releasing my drama, and using my learning and knowledge to serve other women, this is what I can say:
Within each one of us, there\’s a wild, wise and free creature. Once we access her, we can surrender to the magic within and around us and savour life with passion, pleasure and purpose.
Where to start? DANCE
Your body. It has so much to offer: answers, knowing, wisdom. Start listening.
The picture below captures the surreal show the women in the NY studio put together in honour of Mother Earth. As I was watching them move, I could feel the primal energy and raw emotions in their movement: it was magical.
\”Every morning, I start my day the same way: I dance naked for 10 minutes. Two full songs on my playlist. Every morning. Even when I don’t want to — especially when I don’t want to – I dance.
Why? Well, a woman’s body LOVES to move. In order to unlock the legend that lives inside her, a woman’s body needs to move.\” Mama Gena
\”SHAKTI is a Sanskrit term used in Tantra that means feminine power and sacred life force energy. You cannot awaken your Shakti by just thinking about it, you have to move, dive into your body, feel your heart, listen to your soul, get your toes in the mud. That’s where the feminine lives.\” Lisa Schroeder
