I'd like to invite you to join me on a magical and nourishing adventure to...
❅ Rewrite your unconscious contracts with struggle so that you may flourish.
❅ Root into a sustainable source of love that is healing, grounding and pleasurable.
❅ Liberate the pathway to creativity, self love, deeper trust in life and soul fulfillment.
❅ Honor the totality of all that came before you so you can draw on the wisdom, resilience and magic of your mother line in order to transform your pain into a beautiful life.
The dark mother is nutritive to the bones of our soul. She is the benevolent resource we can access through times of change and uncertainty.
When the veils of our own illusions thin, we find her there ready to transmute the skeletons of limitations into the buds of new flowers.
She waters the heart from the very epicenter of the life-death-life-death process.
She is a holy stand for us entering into the crucible that alchemizes every painful experience into something life affirming and loving.
She wants us to flourish, for she is the nature of flourishing itself.
All we need to do is meet her there, at the crossroads of our deepest evolutionary potential.
❅
Our culture has a deep fear of change, of the unknown, so we are taught to fear going the internal crossroads that call us to stretch, let go, grieve, offer up prayers to the ceremonial fires and transmute our trauma into love.
Yet, these are the very roads we need to cross over in order to rewire survival and trauma culture into a life that honors the soul of all that is.
It is time to transmute the death mother, to liberate her energy back towards the erotic, loving mother.
The death mother pulls us towards death and stasis.
The death mother is the wife of the patriarchy.
She rules through oppression of the feminine, of the soul life. She pulls us away from anything life affirming.
She is a state of frozenness in the body. She pulls us out of creative flow. She feeds off of shame. She gorges on trauma, encourages the denial of trauma and lives in the heart of gaslighting, emotional and spiritual abuse.
She isn't just a personal expression through our personal mothers, but of the culture mother herself.
Patriarchy.
White supremacy.
Capitalism.
We internalize this death mother as a part of our internal representation of Mother which is why it is so hard for to love ourselves as deeply as we long too.
These very places we do not yet know how to love hold our power, our magic and the capacity to free us.
❅
Healing your relationship to love is a healing path of re-establishing roots in the great, nourishing, erotic and loving Mother herself.
The mature feminine.
She is seeking to rise, like a phoenix, through our collective healing of trauma transmitted through the mother line.
This is a time we are facing off with the Death Mother, calling on the fierce Grace of the Great Mother herself, in her loving form to assist us.
There is an unctuous quality to retreating into her nourishing womb that is required during times of death and rebirth, in order to consciously explore the tensions present, the tightness of breath, the whispers of the heart and the fears that accompany that soul driven energy that wants to transform all of it into something beautiful.
For, in her essence, that is who and what the dark mother is.
The one at the crossroads of mystery, the unknown, transitions, loss, in-betweens, deaths and rebirths.
She is the one who can nurture, nourish, tend to us and teach us how to transform what is being revealed to us into something more gloriously beautiful than we could possibly imagine.

Healing the Mother Line is a loving invitation to journey with me into the heart of Mother and bring long needed healing to our collective Mother line.
We will work with the Great Mother archetype to understand these energetic and psychospiritual principles and how they live within our daily experience.
Each session will be a ceremonial container in which there will be teaching transmission as well as space for a journey through active imagination for healing, guidance, wisdom and re-rooting ourselves in the sanity of the dark, nutritive mother we all long for.

Mother as the Ground of Self
Mother is our first experience of self and this reflection is how we internalize the feminine, love and relationships. This energy often underlies our unconscious attitudes towards ourselves, our deepest interior world and our experience of the world around us. We will explore Mother as our ground and our roots, from archetype to the inner mother as we prepare for our journey together.
The Great Mother Archetype, From Dark to Light
The Great Mother archetype spans the shadows to divine light. She also possess the qualities of the fertile darkness. We will distinguish between darkness as light and shadow. We will explore the nourishing, nurturing, earthly and liberating aspects of her energy, as well as how to tap into these qualities in our daily lives to support our healing.
Death Mother and Other Shadows of Mother
The shadow of the Mother is overlooked in a culture that diminishes her, yet uses her resources and is deeply hungry for her sustaining love. The wounded feminine forms around these shadow qualities, sometimes mistaken for the dark feminine or shoved deep into our psyches, rising up as addictions, codependency, difficulty with self love or trusting one’s own creative capacity that results in feeling stuck and self-judgement. We will explore the death mother and other shadows of the mother, including learning a potent practice for working with transforming this energy within us.
Healing the Mother Line
We are connected to Mother through our mother line, from our personal mother, our father’s mother, our cultural mother, the collective meaning of mother and the archetypal energies. We will identify our own mother line, trace these threads of wisdom and pain winding back through time, discover what aspects of the shadow and light archetypes thread their way to our hearts. We will complete contracts and make prayers to connect with the resilience, wisdom, strength and magic available to us through our ancestors.
Healing the Inner Mother
The inner mother is the aspect of our mother line that we have internalized in our own psyche as Mother. This energy is often the background attitude we have towards our self, the feminine, masculine, love and the source of life herself. The myth of Medusa is an archetypal story of the Inner mother and one we will use as we explore how she lives within us as we move towards forgiveness, first with ourselves, then the past and our ancestors.
Rooting into the Erotic Mother
Eros is the love of the divine feminine, the source of pleasure and love as she lives within our physical form, the matter…the mother of who we are. This is a very nourishing, healing and nurturing aspect of the Mother that allows us to feel good, to enjoy our own hearts and find pleasure in life while on the healing journey. She also supports the soul life and is a radical stand for a world that affirms life, love and flourishing. We will explore the Erotic Mother as a counter point to the death mother and explore what we’ve learned about her and how we can shift our relationship to her in service of healing our mother line.
Devotion as Path
We are often taught that discipline is required for spiritual practice and healing. However this is grounded in a paradigm that also equates discipline with getting into trouble and hardship. Devotion is the path of the heart, the path of the Great Mother. When we learn how to cultivate a devotional practice with the Great Mother, we heal our relationship with the earth, the love we long for and come home to ourselves.
Every class session includes a teaching transmission, ceremonial journey, Q&A and practices for integration.
