The liquid gold in women circles

Honoring Mothers and healing our wounds...

Yesterday, I had the honor to hold and being part of a very deep and sacred ceremony.

A beautiful lady form my area asked me to help her holding a circle about Motherhood, the journey of mothers, sacred women wisdom and to create something special in honor of her mum's passing one year ago.

Such a beautiful invitation... Not only she wanted to celebrate her own mum and honor her own grieving journey but she also wanted to give others the possibility to do the same, to offer an opportunity to release, to express, to feel, to heal....

We gathered in a stunning location in Garners beach and these beautiful women, from all walks of life came together to support and listen to one an other... just simply being there for one an other... some are single mothers, some are struggling in their relationships, some have lost their mothers a long time ago, some very recently.

And when women allows space for this to happen... magic can unfold. And tears, lots of tears. When tears are pouring down within a circle, listened, welcomed and supported, they are healing tears. They are the liquid gold of women healing themselves to rise up and be better then the day before. It takes courage, bravery. I use to say "it takes balls" but now I say: It takes boobs!

It's not easy to be vulnerable in public. We have been told not to, for so long.

So I admire all these incredible women, turning up for themselves and the future generations, sharing their stories of pain, trauma, loss, joy, memories, strength... women are so strong and so resilient.

I knew I would crack open too. First, because I am an empath and seeing these women opening up and healing makes me emotional too and second because I knew I was going there with my own little suitcase. The one I haven't heal from yet... Loosing my mum 11 years ago was so hard and it is still hard everyday. I was new to Australia, I didn't have a circle or a tribe of friends, I had a 14month old little girl and I was 7months pregnant. Giving birth and grieving at the same time is a weird combo of emotions... the kind of big emotions that leaves you some scars inside. But time heals slowly... the suitcase get smaller. And I still show up. For myself, for these wise women that I meet doing this and also for my 3 daughters... I believe the more peaceful and healed person I am, the better Mama I am for them, the more peaceful they can be... Women have the incredible capacity to live through trauma and pass on love. They are that strong.

One wise women at the circle said: "it's really hard to let go but it's even harder not to".

Never give up on healing, releasing and facing what hurts. It is easier to bury it down and put a lid on it but in the long run, it isn't.

Wrap yourself with love, supporting friends and heal together... Again and again... You dream of making the world a better place or make a change in the world?

It starts right with you, on the inside.

You've got this.
