Remember Reclaim & Revere the Sacred Feminine with SHE:Initiation

03/31/2023

Freedom 55 has a new meaning!!

On this day, the day I acknowledge completion of 55 trips around the sun as Catherine, I am freer than ever.

Thank you for all the lovely acknowledgements. I am far richer than any bank account will ever show.

I have only one birthday wish this year. And that’s for peace upon this Earth and in the hearts of all the beings who call Her Mother.

The way I have been called to take part is to help the Sacred Feminine be remembered, reclaimed, and revered.

If you share this wish with me, and feel called to acknowledge that alignment with a financial contribution to the SHE:Initiation sacred tipi healing space, please use one of these links (or private message me)

PayPal.me/SHEInitiation
Etransfer to SHEInitiation_FoundersCircle@protonmail.com

There is a very real $9,000 bill I need to pay for the Tipi I purchased to hold these sacred healings.

A series of three previous posts provides for all the backstory. Check them out if you haven’t already. 🤩

There will never be a fee to attend a healing circle or retreat in this space. EVER.

The Sisters (and the men who love them) who are moved to make a financial contribution to the cost of this Tipi, no matter the amount, will be inducted into the SHE:Initiation Founders Circle.

And with your permission, your name will be made public as Founding Members and we’ll find a way to etch it into the fabric of the Tipi itself so your generosity and your stand for the women in your lineage and on the planet can remain in perpetuity.

I, and SHE, are so heart-ful for your support and for the stand you are willing to take for the return of peace on this planet through reclamation of the Sacred Feminine. Thank you.
�May the women who need to find this sacred healing space make their way here with ease and grace.

… cont’d from previous post.

While I’ve come to understand that “free fall” is required before the resources show up, my mind is a wee bit queasy about it.

I now have a looming bill on my credit card in the amount of $9,000, due on April 6, 2023. Eeek!

This is where you come in.

If you, or someone you know, feel called to make a financial contribution to this sacred space, that will allow the healing of generations of women past, present, and future, please follow this link
paypal.me/SHEInitiation
(or etransfer to SHEInitiation_FoundersCircle@protonmail.com) and make a contribution.

Financial contributions are not linked to attendance. ATTENDANCE WILL ALWAYS BE FREE.

Needless to say, I said YES to that Tipi - and it was delivered the next day.
�I was lit up and sparkling like a fire cracker on Canada Day, and at the same time, my mind was pulling me back to more practical items like how I was going to pay for it. Eeek!

But then again, every single action I’ve already taken toward answering the Call to reconnect women to the Sacred Feminine has been met with ease. The only thing required for the resources to show up is my YES.�
Now, as if that’s not magical enough, for the record, if I were to go online now and order a Tipi, it wouldn’t arrive until later this year, or early next year (due to supply issues and sustainable harvesting of the poles that form its structure). So make no mistake.

Timing is everything. And so is the YES!�
SHE:Initiation circles will resume in their new home on this sacred land, in this sacred Tipi, in June 2023. (I’m so excited!)

Wait, there’s more….

While at the Elders & Indigenous Peoples Gathering, not only did I conjure up a Tipi, I also received confirmation that offering these Sacred Sisterhood Circles will be WITHOUT FEE to attendees. There will never be a fee to attend a healing circle or retreat in this space. EVER.

Now comes the trust.

It’s been a long time coming, and quite the journey to get here. I wouldn’t change a bit of it.

I am so happy to announce that SHE:Initiation has a new rural home, within a sacred forest near Bobcaygeon, Ontario, Canada that called me to love it back to Life.

After acquiring the property, we spent 7 months renovating the dwelling so we could live in it, and then spent another 12 months getting to know the land and establishing roots in our new Community.

I was patient while I waited for the vision for SHE:Initiation’s new home to reveal itself. Would it be a structure my son and I build? Would it be a yurt? Would it be a bell tent? Something else?

I explored each of these ideas. But none of them felt right.

Until about 4 weeks ago.

While I was out for a walk on the land where our home is, I got the very distinct message that the work we will be doing here will happen inside of a Tipi. It landed with certainty in my body.

We live very close to Curve Lake First Nation, so my first thought was to see if anyone there sells and/or installs Tipi’s. I shared this Tipi vision with a neighbour friend and her husband, who I knew had contacts at Curve Lake.

Fast forward 2 weeks. As with everything else I’ve done to take action toward answering the Call I accepted to reconnect women to the Sacred Feminine, all the resources began to show up. It began when I accepted my neighbour’s invitation to attend the Peterborough event. There I learned about the Elders & Indigenous Peoples Gathering that was going to be happening a few days later at Trent University.

Still with me? This is where it gets magickal!

At the Elders Gathering, the Tipi company that supplies Trent U with their Tipi had one on display. And while attending Story Time around the fire, my friend’s husband told me that he had been speaking to the Tipi people and they were looking to sell the display model. It was (literally) the answer to the vision I had received only 2 weeks earlier... to be continued in the next post!

A peek inside the private SHE:Initiation FB Group!
{*}
I know for some of us it's weird to say "I brag ___________(fill in the blank with your brilliance)".
{*}
It's weird for all of us, at first.
{*}
But believe me when I say, IT BECOMES SO NATURAL, I even forget I'm doing it.
{*}
Let me share a wee story about how "bragging" was negatively reinforced in my psyche:
{*}
Once upon a time (not that long ago) in a far away galaxy ... before I remembered the Goddess that I am ....
{*}
My boyfriend at the time (he'd never make it through my Goddess boundary now!) said to me "Don't hurt yourself now." And I said "huh?" and he said "Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back."
{*}
I was thinking to myself ... like.... really? I just did some super amazing s**t, and that's all you can say to me?
{*}
It hurt.
{*}
Not only did he not acknowledge my magnificence, he had to take it away from me, too.
{*}
I've since come to learn the following things about bragging:
{+} For the bragger: It rewires our brains to build a self-appreciation muscle. Self-appreciation begins to dismantle the bill of goods we were sold by the patriarchy that told us our value and our worth comes only from outside of us, in what others say is true.
{+} For the person witnessing the brag: It's a decisive tool. It either peaks their curiosity, they lean in and want to know what you just said - or - it confronts so strongly their own sense of self-appreciation and self-worth that they have to shut it down and fast, because if they can't have it, then neither can you!
{*}
So here's your mission this hour, this day, this week, Sister:
BRAG. Brag to a fellow Sister in here (or in your life) who appreciates what the Bragging tool does - and - Brag to someone who is not in the know about this tool.
{*}
Be the observer.
{*}
What do you notice?
{*}
For more yummy convos like this, join us over in FB at SHEInitiation (resources for reclaiming the Divine feminine in YOU!)
{*}
See you inside!

Rite of the Womb Initiation.
{*}
The next one is on Tuesday August 4, 2020.
{*}
I bet most of us did not receive this rite of womanhood when our wombs became active with menstruation.
{*}
Imagine what your life would be like now, who you would be in the world today if you understood at an early age the power you hold in your womb. If you knew how your womb connects you to universal wisdom with the awe-inspiring gift to create and sustain life on this planet. If you understood that being a Mother is not the only way to express your potency as a creatrix.
{*}
It’s never too late to remember these wisdoms!
{*}
Your Circle registration for this Rite of Passage includes:
- 2 hours of (virtual) Sacred Sisterhood Circle in the sacred womb space of the SHE:Initiation Red Tent
- Sound baths
- Guided visualizations
- Journalling time
- Womb journey
- Rite of the Womb Initiation Ceremony
- Membership in the SHE:Initiation Members Only private Facebook group
{*}
This Sacred Sisterhood Rite of Passage is for women in their menstruating and post-menstruating years.
{*}
I cannot wait to loosen the entrenched womb shame held in the collective feminine psyche and deepen the remembering of Sacred Feminine wisdom with you.

We must stand with everyone of us who has such an experience.

No matter how big to small. No matter how private or public.

Enough. Is. Enough.

If you don’t have a sacred sisterhood you can feel safe with, you are at the highest risk.

Find one. Online. Or InPerson.

We stand together.

In love.

In justice.

With Nature.

As Nature.

This is the Sacred Feminine way.

We practice what Mama Gena (creatrix of The School of Womanly Arts) calls “upriding” - as we remember what it’s like to take each other higher.
{*}
Welcome, Sister, Goddess, Wise Woman, Hag, Witch, Priestess, Mother, Temptress, Healer, Mother.

Imagine what your life would be like now, and who you would be in the world today, if you were initiated into womanhood with a grand celebration on the commencement of your first period.
{*}
Imagine if a gathering of sweet and sacred proportions was planned in your honour. And you were led to a sacred red tent where all the women in your life and the women in your mother’s life were there, waiting to welcome you into Womanhood.
{*}
Imagine if, one by one, these women of various ages and stages of Womanhood, shared their stories about the gifts a woman’s body offers in each stage; the very gifts that await you at each stage of your Womanhood.
{*}
Imagine how you might feel about and relate to your period, your body, your womanhood. Your sacred ‘lady parts’.
{*}
And what that would do to your confidence, your own authority and reverence for the vessel you are in.
{*}
It’s never too late to have a Do-Over!
{*}
Who is the First Blood Rite (Do-Over version) for?

THIS is what we do together in the Red Tent. We first must reclaim the magnificence of our own bodies before we can help our daughters to know theirs.

This is essential. No?

🌸

Tell your daughters how you love your body.
Tell them how they must love theirs.

Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves—
from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs,
whether there is a little of them or a lot,
whether freckles cover their face or not,
whether their curves are plentiful or slim,
whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short.

Tell them how they inherited
their ancestors, souls in their smiles,
that their eyes carry countries
that breathed life into history,
that the swing of their hips
does not determine their destiny.

Tell them never to listen when bodies are critiqued.
Tell them every woman’s body is beautiful
because every woman’s soul is unique.

There’s been a whole lot going on in the world for us to process, huh?!
{*}
I’ve been doing my best to hold space for all that is wishing to come through, be seen, alchemized and set free.
{*}
I’m not going to lie, it’s been overwhelming.
{*}
The quickest way I’ve found to get back to a grounded, calm place (even in the midst of my son’s meltdowns over online school work or not being able to have sleepovers with his friends) is by using the tools I learned when I started studying the Goddess.
{*}
When I started to remember that She lives in me.
{*}
I’m excited to share that the Red Tent is open again for business! (virtually, for now).
{*}
It’s time.
{*}
We need to remember the Goddess lives inside each of us, now more than ever.
{*}And we need each other to help us remember.
{*}In our ancient past, women initiated other women through all the stages of womanhood. We were literally gathered up in Sisterhood and led to the most Sacred of Circles and Ceremonies.
