Q: What would be an example of some universal aspects of womanhood?

​

A: There are more than I can say, but in general many women experience something like a rotating yin yang. If you imagine it spinning from dark to light the pattern tends to be:

Being Born Feminine> Losing touch with the Feminine and Gravitating to the Masculine> Being Successful then Unhappy with Masculine> Reconnecting with the Feminine> Integrating both Feminine and Masculine Energies. Yet, that pattern obviously has plenty of hiccups and challenges along the way!

​

Q: What are some challenges that women face in their Heroine’s Journey?

​

A: At every phase there are challenges, which is why we call ourselves “Heroines” when we overcome them! In the first part of our journey, we face a separation from the “Mother”—either personally or symbolically. This can manifest as difficulties with other women or a sense of confusion with our own feminine traits. Later we face challenges in the world of the “Father”—either difficulty being successful, or becoming quite successful, but feeling as if something is missing.

​

Later, we tend to have a crisis or dilemma that makes us question everything and the tools we learned in the world of the Father won’t fix it. Thus, we must descend to the Dark Mother Goddess and re-learn how to connect with the Sacred and Personal Feminine. All of these challenges have the potential to stop us in our tracks if we are not prepared with tools, resources, and community, which is why this She-Quest is so powerful.

​

​

Q: Who would benefit from this “She-Quest”?

​

A: Obviously I think every woman! When I designed it, I kept in mind my friends who love self-development work, but hate crystals and angels! Meaning, I made the content quite rigorous, but still holistic. You will gain access to resources from lots of fields, so you can follow your curiosity and go down your own rabbit holes! 

​

Specifically I think the women who will benefit the most are those who may be at one of the challenge moments described above. If you can feel a shift in your feminine and masculine energies, if you want to understand a current ‘stuck’ situation, if you are afraid to surrender to a larger force, or if you are having trouble integrating all your diverse parts of self…this course is for you!

​

​

Q: What kind of activities will participants experience in the course?

A: You will experience the course personally, but something unique to this course is the Growth-Play which encourages you to process things physically in your own intimate space. This ranges from art-making (crayons, watercolor, collage--whatever you can scrounge up), to writing, dance, meditation, or touch. Invest in some cheap, but effective art supplies and the experience will open up new possibilities!

​

When you work independently, you will use your custom-made She-Guide that offers specific tools, resources, and activities for each week of the She-Quest. Many of the activities will be paired with links for further reading or viewing if you choose to go even deeper. Many women describe feeling drawn to a specific topic and going deep with one, but saving the rest for later--others dive in to all topics--it is your choice. 

​

Although it is self-paced, you can schedule a time to speak privately with me for a personal coaching session, which will help you integrate your experiences into your daily life.
