BONUS EP - Cycles & Seasons

In this bonus episode, we share with you an audio recording of our Cycles & Seasons Wisdom Offering from our Into The Wild Immersion. In this episode, we share the transitions a woman moves through across the life cycle & the wisdom we gain as we move through these phases. Kate talks specifically to Yogic Philosophy & the understanding of The Feminine Siddhis including:

Menarche & Menstruation,Sexual awakening & female orgasm, Conception, pregnancy, & miscarriageLabour & BirthLactationMenopause

We also share our own personal experiences of moving through some of our most challenging life transitions as women, what these experiences taught us, and how our relationship with ourselves & our world has changed because of them. As this is an excerpt of our Into The Wild Immersion, we make reference to other resources that are included in the program.

 To accompany this podcast episode, we offer you the following questions for reflection:

What rhythmic patterns can I see in my life?What links might there be between my current stage of life and the experiences of other women close to me now?What does the idea of female siddhi mean to me? How have I welcomed my female siddhis into my life so far? How have I neglected my female siddhis in my life so far?Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum will also reveal SO much about your relationship with your body, here are some questions for reflection.

For Pregnancy:

How do I feel about my body? In particular, how do I feel about the changes in my body?· What changes do I feel inconvenienced by? Ashamed of?· How does this reflect my overall relationship with my body?· How could I be kinder & more patient with my body?· If I were to embrace the changes in my body during this transition, what would I do more of? What would I stop doing?

What did my birth teach me? What wisdom did I receive?How do I feel about my birth?Where have I shared my birth stories?If I haven't shared my birth experience & my feelings about my birth, why? Would I like to? With who? How would I like that experience to look like?How would I like to move through my birth experience?What would have me feel safe and supported to do that?

What are my biggest challenges in motherhood right now? What are they offering me? What are they teaching me? How do I give back to my own self as a mother?How could I be more gentle/kind to myself as a mother?What stories do I have about being a Mother? How does motherhood feel? What a mother's body is like? What life looks like for mothers? What my capacity is? What I am capable of? Are these my own? If I could write my own story, & create my own belief systems about motherhood, what would they be? If I was to integrate motherhood into my whole life more, how would that look? How would that feel?

Menopause:

How am I dulling the experience of Menopause?How am I honouring my body during this time?What is my body teaching me?If I was to absorb + embrace this wisdom, by embracing my inner rhythm at this time what would I do more of? What would I stop doing?

OR, for women not yet experiencing perimenopause
