made in her image

“the  primary relationship between women is the relationship of mother and  daughter. this relationship is the birthplace of a woman’s ego identity,  her sense of security in the world, her feelings about her self, her  body, and other women. from her mother, a woman receives her first  impression of how to be a woman and what being a woman means. she also  receives her first access to at least some aspects of the archetypal  mother, the great mother, and to an experience of the feminine self.” – kathie carlson

many of us have experienced symptoms of what is known as mother hunger: the longing and heartbreak from not receiving the maternal nurturance, protection, or guidance that we needed. in addition to this, we often lack an adequate spiritual image and healthy relationship with god the mother. as a result, we've become dismembered in mind. body. heart. and spirit. which further creates a deep individual and collective mother wound. and like that of a physical wound, when the mother wound is not tended to properly, it  greatly impacts one’s well-being, one's empowerment, as well as one's relationships.

it's time for women to re-member.

to reclaim. return to. reacquaint ourselves.

with our bodies.

with our hearts + wombs.

with our old ways (practices, medicines, etc.).

with the great mother. with the mother within ourselves + the mother within others

(deep, healthy relationships with mutual investment and accountability).

made in her image is a 5-week series designed to support individuals in understanding the mother wound, the pain it causes, and how it manifests in our relationship with ourselves and others. participants will leave this series with practical tools and indigenous practices that will support them in healing the mother wound (individual and collective), embodying the power of the divine feminine and healing our relationship with the divine masculine, and living a life rooted in love and soul-alignment. classes will be held online via zoom each thursday beginning october 20, 2022 at 7:00 pm est and will conclude on november 17, 2022. each session is intended to be interactive and attended live. please come prepared to share and engage in conversation. in the event that you must miss a session, the recording will be made available for viewing the following day for a limited time to preserve the sacredness of this space. if you are not able to attend the majority of the sessions, it is recommended that you wait to participate and join us at a later time that better aligns with your schedule.
