**JULY CIRCLE - Sister Wound – The Practice of Unlearning Internal Misogyny**
We’ve got our work cut out for us this month as we do a deep dive into the sister wound and explore our internal misogyny.
What does this mean?
Internalised misogyny is the learned conditioning of sexism, usually unconscious, where we live out and reinforce sexism, limiting our success and freedom and pitting us against other women.
The thing about internalised misogyny is that it runs deep and shows up as low self-esteem and confidence and can place us in situations where we are more willing to tolerate abusive or unhealthy behaviours and engage in condemning and censuring other women. In fact, most relationships have a ton of internal misogyny operating unconsciously. Internalised misogyny means that we limit our self-expression and our success. We self-regulate our behaviours and police other women’s behaviours. We make ourselves small and curtail our dreams.
What we are doing in this workshop?
Through guided somatic practices and reflections, we go inside to identify our internalised misogynistic beliefs and behaviours and bring awareness to those parts of ourselves that live out and limit freedom and authenticity. We discuss the root of these learned behaviours. We do this to bring more freedom and space to live from a more authentic place, write new narratives and open to more expansive futures.
Until we do this work, those unconscious parts of ourselves with continue to show up repeatedly no matter what we do to try and 'fix' them. Instead, we invite you, with grace and grit, to tenderly tend to your internalised misogyny. The only thing is - that you need to show up because it's time!
