Healing the Motherwound is an intention I began years ago!
I have held this inquiry
with the moon
over many cycles
and other deeply rooted awesome wild women including,
but definitely not limited to,
Rachael Casteel and Robyn Ivy.

thank you to other healers in my life
we have held the triangles
of healing open together with me!
Healing the Motherwound
Knowing most of us have been bred within a patriarchal society; what does it look like to heal the matriarchy? How do we imagine a world where the feminine has regained its own sovereignty?
The masculine and feminine are often pitted on opposing sides in our dualistic culture. I think healing lies in a much deeper internal relationship towards our own energies and power. How do we find mutual understanding, grace, and evolution beyond gendered stereotypes?
Healing the Fatherwound is just as valid, and I honour and thank those that are walking that path.
Perhaps you have a different wound you are working on healing. Thank you! that's so awesome; I appreciate the internal work you are doing that will benefit all of us!

Context /
I am deeply interested in the power of our fundamental beliefs and how that influences our psyche and our lives. I believe our unconscious wounds and internal stories are the bedrock of our reality. As we unearth and make conscious our own pain, we have the opportunity to acknowledge and heal our broken parts. Ultimately becoming more whole and embodied; we can then hold a diversity of perspectives and become more capable, resilient individuals.
Art is an introspective gateway to explore our inner landscapes, characters, and stories; a treasure trove waiting to be seen and alchemized. I am fascinated by the invitation to craft new narratives and identities for ourselves that are built on deeper levels of love, acceptance, and empowerment. I hope the healing I have found through these art alchemy journeys is infused in each painting, activating your own inner unconscious realms to seek liberation.
