S4E16 - My 3 Favourite Feminine Books & 2021 Reflections

It’s December & the days are getting shorter, the nights
colder. Holiday seasons are the time I love to escape into a
book. I have 3 great feminine books to recommend this year. These
books have nourished, spoken to my feminine heart & given me
so much to contemplate.


 


2021 Reflections 


As we wrap this calendar year it’s also a natural time for
reflection. While this hyper-masculine world would have us rush
forward to set intentions & go-go-go (always rushing
forward)... 


 


I’m instead sitting in the reflection of:


Who have I become this year? 

What do I want to witness & celebrate in myself as a
woman? 



 


At the beginning of the year, I was in a new land, starting a new
chapter of leadership.


 


A chapter that expressed more clearly how the feminist &
social justice lenses I had been refining through studies &
contemplation intersected with feminine embodiment. This chapter
lead to more study, hosting a conference & filtered through
strongly to Season 4 (the current season) of our podcast.


 


On the podcast today I’m sharing some reflections on the training
I undertook in the field, what I’ve been learning as a teacher
about embodied feminism & social justice, and how that’s
worked its way into our school.


 


I’m also sharing some personal reflections on what’s next on my
spiritual unraveling & how that’s impacting the podcast in
2022.


 


So, I invite you to join me on this final podcast of the year
where I’m reflecting on:


What I’ve been learning as a teacher about embodied feminism
& social justice and how that’s worked its way into our
school

What’s next on my spiritual unraveling

What’s coming on the podcast in 2022 (Season 5)

My top feminine 3 books from 2021



I hope you receive the space to reflect on your year & land
more fully in who you’ve become. It’s something to witness &
celebrate.
