Why do we need a Wise Women's Circle?
I came to the realization last year after years of coaching women from ages 24-72, and years healing myself that most of us have never been mothered.
Yes we were raised by women that loved us deeply, fed and clothed us and taught us life skills.
But they didn’t teach us the basics about primal needs, about our design, about our bodies and our feminine nature.
They didn’t know them, so they couldn’t impart that to us.
When I look at the animal kingdom, I see a complex and yet so simple educational system of mothering taking place.
Females get pregnant.
They grow offspring in their body.
When it comes time for said offspring to emerge and become semi-independent beings outside of their mother, the mother eats a lot of food, makes a nest/finds a quiet lonely spot, enters into a trance-like state, labors all alone with no other animals around to help, assist or interfere and brings forth life.
Yes, some of the offspring die, but most of them survive and are up and moving around and nursing on their mother in no time.
In the coming months (if not interfered with) the female, now turned mother, will fulfill all the basic needs for her progeny.
She will nurse them, protect them, create and find shelter for them and keep them close.
She doesn’t want anyone else to come near.
She is protective of her space and her children.
When she needs food and or water, she brings her children with her to find it, or she goes without.
She is already teaching them so many things like how to mother, how to let her body do what it’s designed to do and how to aggressively protect her babies and not interfere with the natural life cycle of which she participates.
She uses her surroundings, the threat of predators, climate and food presence or scarcity to help her teach her babies (it “takes a village”), but she is in control of their learning experience.
She grunts and moves her children whenever its time to come close, be safe, eat, or sleep.
In time she will also teach her babies to forage for food, she will allow for nearby playtime amongst siblings and perhaps demonstrate trust for a human caretaker, should they merit that trust .
But she is certain of one thing, no one else can do her job to her satisfaction.
Animals that are not mothered by their natural animal mother do not learn survival skills and can not be just released into the wild, if underprepared for what waits for them there, they will die.
Mothers that are interfered with during their pregnancy and or birth experience often don’t nurse their babies and abandon them altogether.
When it comes time to give birth, animal mother’s don’t question their abilities to do so.
They know the signs of birth.
They know what they need to do.
They just do it.
But humans.
Human mothers for the past 4-6 decades have NOT exhibited such confidence in birth OR child-rearing.
They/we have been taught that they don’t know how to do it, that we need LOADS of interference (I’m not talking about support here, support is someone that comes alongside to help strengthen you while leaving the reigns in YOUR hands, not taking them from you and communicating your redundancy.)
Who taught us how to be women?
Who taught us about our moon cycles? That we are only fertile 5 days out of the month and therefore have NO need for toxic cancer-causing gut-disrupting hormones?
Who taught us to cherish and protect our sexuality and ONLY share it with the man that will provide for us?
Who taught us that plants can heal us?
That prayer should be our FIRST course of action in all things normal and emergency?
That makeup and hair dye and tight clothes and hang-ups about our bodies are form the enemy trying to distort beauty and relationship to our body?
That we can birth our own babies?
Who taught us to forage? Who taught us what REAL danger looks like both in ourselves and in others?
Who taught us to flow in our feminine strength?
Who taught us that we have what we need to mother our children and ready them for the world?
Who taught us that NOURISHMENT of the mind, body and soul is PARAMOUNT when it comes to healing all health issues, balancing hormones, curing anxiety, and looking and feeling our best?
No one did.
Because no one taught them.
Somewhere along the timeline of the past 100 years, the serpent snuck in and convinced our ancestors to trade their birthrights as women for convenience, culture and the copying men.
We were tricked into believing that to have VALUE and strength, relevance and security in this world we needed to abandon our true femininity and become men.
And so we have.
We live like men.
We train to look like men.
We let manmade organizations take away our roles as mothers, nurtures and matriarchs in this world and we question what we even have to offer our families, our children the world at large.
We struggle to be BOTH, the provider making a difference in the world AND the nurturer, making a difference in our homes.
And we fail because it’s too much.
The game is fixed and we are running ourselves ragged.
We have the adrenal fatigue, prolapse and posture to prove it.
THAT is why we need a Wise Women’s Circle.
This is a place where we will inspire each other to return to God’s design for us as feminine creatures while living on this earth.
This is a circle for women to learn, share and exercise God given wisdom.
A place where I endeavor to share the scripture and revelations the Lord has shared with me about returning to Him and His design for us!
This is a place where we can RETURN to the art of MOTHERING, where we can discover what it is that we need to feel in order to be once again connected to our Divine Design.
This is a place for wise women
I’m so glad you’re here.
