This sounds so beautiful as a conversation. I look forward to finding time to listen. In my own life and work I marvel time and again at how incredibly powerful the women’s circle can be in healing these age old wounds of separation, jealousy, competition, mistrust… we are raised from the word go to be pitted against one another… divide and conquer… scarcity in so many forms… and feeling the grief of that alone can sometimes feel like it might swallow us whole. Also, anger: here for it, for my grandmothers, my granddaughters, every woman everywhere

I’m listening in small bites. Yet, I’m awakening and have focused on personal deep anger. Blaming others was the choice I kept making. I know about the collective influence. Though this anger has escalated and your conversation has created space for me to realize it’s bigger than me. It’s generational. I’m an investigator on ancestry and discovered a family line to the 1500’s. I know their names.

It connected me to historical pain. You help me own a deeper connection to centuries of feminine suppression. I’m still taking little bites. Today I feel lighter. An amazing interaction thru this shared conversation. Thank you.
