The Way of the Divine Feminine
The divine feminine is the ineffable essence of fierce grace, compassionate strength, and wise truth. The primordial heart of darkness from which all things are birthed, transition into death, and are reborn again. The divine feminine is both the eternal web of the grandmothers weaving life into existence and the space between the threads of life. The cyclical womb of creation.
The divine feminine lives within each of us, no matter our gender or transgender. Within our bodies as the left side of the body and the right side of the brain. When we engage the divine feminine aspects of ourselves, we treat our bodies as temples to be honored. We develop a relationship with our bodies as vessels of divine creation rather than shells to be discarded to ascend to the afterlife. In doing so, we develop a relationship with the earth as a sanctuary to be honored.
The Way of the Divine Feminine acknowledges all aspects of the rhythms and cycles of life in relationship to one another. Each atom and subatomic particle is in relationship to one another including the space within it and around it. Each particle creates the minerals, plants, animals, humanity, and elements of air, water, earth, fire, and ether. Take a moment and contemplate this relational view. Noticing how your life touches the lives of others including the lives of the plants you eat, the earth you walk upon, the children you raise and teach, the lovers and beloveds in your life, and all of the systems on earth including the natural systems and human made systems.
All things are in relationship to everything everywhere, always in all ways. This means we are interconnected and interdependent with the earth, her creatures, minerals, plants, animals, elements, and all of humanity. We all have red blood flowing through our veins. How we are in relationship with ourselves, our families, our earth is what creates our lives to be the way they are.
The Way of the Divine Feminine connects the mind through the heart. The intuitive capacities of creation. The Knowing of life’s rhythms, sacredness, and possibilities. Balancing the “passive” surrendering principle of creative flow with the “active” principle of structure and doing. Intuition is the nurturing container of sacred silence for the light to flow within and through.
The Way of the Divine Feminine connects our personal, community, and global relationships through the enveloping arms of compassionate strength. True compassion requires strength because it calls upon us to be able to sit with the excruciating pain of another person and fully relate to their suffering by acknowledging it within our hearts and souls. Being compassionate is not about self-pity. Being compassionate is about sitting in the fire of the hate/abuse/pain of someone’s actions against us or against others, and feeling the heartbreak of our “enemy’s” pain. To then acknowledge their pain and suffering, and continue to connect with the love within our humanity.
The Way of the Divine Feminine connects with the warrior’s wise truth of fierce grace. How can the divine feminine be both love and truth? The paradox of life’s mysteries is also the divine feminine. For to be the container of life, death, and rebirth, the divine feminine allows for suffering and joy simultaneously.
The Way of the Divine Feminine connects us with Sacredness on Earth, all around us and within us, vibrating and resonating to our heartbeats. The air we breathe - give and receive - with the trees is sacred. The water within our bodies is the sacred water of the rivers and streams. The minerals in earth are sacred within the soil nourishing us as we eat vegetables and fruits. The fire within the hearth is sacred as it is the same eternal flame within our souls igniting the truth of who we are.
When we follow the divine feminine as a Way, we begin to truly allow the divine feminine to open up within ourselves, our lives, our family, our communities, and in our systems. We surrender to the divine feminine way moving through us, and allowing possibilities of nurturing and caring for our lives with reverence. In doing so, we walk with reverence for our earth. Because, our earth is the divine feminine in grand form. Our earth is our mother. Our earth grants us life.

We honor our menstrual cycles as sacred by being aware of how we are going through a releasing “grieving” cycle each month in deep connection to the powers of the earth, moon, and universe. In doing so, we honor our cycles in our places of work, our families, our communities, and our intimate partnerships. For more information on the menstrual cycle as a grieving process as well as our womb’s wisdom during menopause.
We honor our bodies as temples in relationship with how we treat our sensuality and sexuality in a sacred way, how we treat our physical health with a desire for wholeness, and how we treat our intimate partnerships by only inviting in those who respect and honor us. First, we must respect and honor ourselves.
We honor our divine intuitive knowing in bringing forth creative insights into our lives, places of work, our families, our communities, and our intimate partnerships.
We honor our spiritual guidance in bringing forth rhythm and flow into our lives, places of work, our families, our communities, and our intimate partnerships.
We honor the moon and her cycles by acknowledging how the moon’s energy and phases connect with our menstruation cycles and with our lives on a deep yet often subtle way.
We honor our children as wisdom keepers and teachers of the new age. As mothers we listen to our children, no matter what age they may be, for we know deep within ourselves that our children carry soul messages and teachings to help guide us as parents, help humanity’s relationship with one another and with the earth during this transformational time.
We honor our ancestors whose blood flows in our bones and have given us life. Our mother’s lineage especially is important as women connecting with our inner creative power, and with our father’s lineage connecting with our soul’s purpose. The bones of our ancestors are buried in the earth, and inform us in the dreamtime. By awakening to our dreamtime, we awaken to the wisdom messages of our ancestors as well as their connection to the Earth and star beings.
We honor the mystery of the unknown from which vast experiences of the primordial mother’s void grants us silent spaciousness to allow mystical spiritual experiences to be our continual life’s experiences toward enlightening ourselves and humanity.
We honor the sacred union of the divine feminine with the divine masculine within our bodies, minds, hearts, souls, and lives. To bridge the divine feminine with the divine masculine to to create the wholeness of sacred union within our lives, and truly usher in the next 2000+ years of peace and harmony on earth. Action made from the combination of illuminated intuitive connection and logical exacting calculations creates the sacred union of the divine feminine and divine masculine within us.
We honor and forgive our mothers. So many of us, especially women, have been very challenged by the feelings and experiences of abandonment, neglect, dysfunction, and traumas of all sorts occurring in our lives from their mothers. Even so, our mothers birthed us on earth. They carried us in their wombs to bring us into form. They did the best they could with what they were given. We are to forgive and accept all of the transgressions. It is time. For when we forgive, truly forgive through absolute compassionate acceptance, then our relationships with ourselves, our beloved partners, our children, our parents/guardians, and the earth change toward thriving fulfilling health and wholeness.
Imagine the incredible beautiful changes we can create simply by honoring these aspects of ourselves. Truly taking the steps in each of these places in our lives to enhance the future of our children and communities.
Divine Feminine Principles

The following divine feminine principles were given to me during my New Year’s Day meditations in 2017-2019. These principles are also sacred practices.
By integrating all three principles in your life, you are rooted in your being to be able to be fully connected to your divine knowing so you can develop creative prosperity to create sovereign choices, creative projects, sacred relationships, and holistic systems.
Divine Feminine Principle #1: Establishing the Root of Being
By Establishing the Root of Being you become deeply connected to your authentic soul expression. When the connection with your soul is rooted within you as a way of being, then this allows for your heart and soul to Rest in Knowing.
Divine Feminine Principle #2: Rest in Knowing
By Resting in Knowing, you create a sacred connection with your intuition toward illuminating your next best steps from a soulful place. While Resting in Knowing, creativity arises in a prosperous way.
Divine Feminine Principle #3: Creative Prosperity
Creative Prosperity becomes the rhythmic flow and wellspring from which arises the totality of your soulful creative power! Which grants you accessibility to create beautiful sacred works of art, writing, speeches, or anything else you wish to create!
By integrating all three principles in your life, you are rooted in your being to be able to be fully connected to your divine knowing so you can develop creative prosperity to create sovereign choices, creative projects, sacred relationships, and holistic systems.
What does it mean to be a Goddess?
Being a Goddess means we as women have the opportunity to embody our unique soul expressions connected with the all encompassing Divine Feminine Source of the earth and the universe.

By being a goddess, you are uplifting the unconscious archetypal energies of our human culture to bring forth the conscious divine feminine source into manifest form. How we do this requires impeccability of thoughts, words, and actions as well as responsible reverence for all sentient beings (mineral, plant, animal, human, earth, star beings, and cosmic energies).
As goddesses, we have deep reverence for the earth, her elements, and her creatures as well as a noble heart connection with being a bridge between the earth and the cosmos.
Being a goddess is an honor, a noble heart commitment to the Way of the Divine Feminine. Allowing flow, rhythm, mystery, harmony, compassion, grace, and wholeness to inform your life as you walk the Beauty way. (Check out the above Honoring statements to connect with the Beauty way.)
Playing a role and “acting” like a goddess is different than accentuating the essence of your soul in connection with the eternal goddess of the divine feminine within all life. It’s important to know the difference of “trying on” the beauty of a goddess versus fully coming into a greater appreciation and acknowledgement of the archetype of your unique goddess within. The goddess as your highest wisest truest self.
The shadow aspects of our egos enjoy grasping onto being a goddess as a desire to control or manipulate people and spiritual energies with the intent to gain for our own benefit. These acts create negative harmful karma and serious adverse consequences. These are the subtle and not so subtle ways the ego expresses shadow dark aspects and tries to convince us of “doing like a goddess” instead of Being as a Goddess. When we are Being as a Goddess, we are aligned with the deep spiritual essence of the divine feminine way.
The focus in the Way of the Divine Feminine is to transform the core shadow aspects and defenses within the body, mind, heart, and soul toward creating a deep authentic soul connection to the goddess divine source within as well as a deep connection to the universal primordial great mother of the earth and the cosmos. In this way, a woman becomes a goddess by igniting her authentic soul expression as an archetypal divine presence in the world and as a channel of the divine source so she can illuminate the way of her sacred service as well as illuminate other women to be of sacred service.
The women who are awakening to the Light, Love, and Truth of who they are as divine feminine goddesses are here to shift the entire paradigm of women's leadership in their relationships with each other, with men, and with the earth at this time.
To completely transform their own abuses (physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuses on a soul level) so they can ignite the fierce grace, compassionate strength, and wise truth within other women to step into their light, love, and truth.
These women who are brave, compassionate, fiercely graceful, and honestly wise priestess warriors are the Goddesses who are fully capable of ushering in the next 2000+ years of peace and harmony on earth.
If you are one of these women, I'm so grateful for your presence, participation, and prowess.

Let's talk about the Journey of Spiritual Transformation Writing Program that will guide you toward accessing your creative spiritual gifts to create a memoir with universal themes and demonstrates your sacred service in the world.

Let's get to work!

Women’s voices have been silenced, hidden, dismissed, and unheard from many cultures for far too long.
Women have experienced “Silent Crimes” within their very homes as children, wives, and mothers. These crimes have kept them feeling small, undervalued, oppressed, and victimized. Even so, these same women have transformed these very crimes into compassionate empowering ways of being. Their stories must be told!
Women’s stories are being lost in the shuffle of the rapid changing times. Our mothers have experienced intense times of change, experienced horrific abuses, birthed children in nations of turmoil, and battled patriarchal systems. Their stories must be told!
Women have experienced profound mystical connections with the divine feminine as Goddess, as the Magdalene, as Sophia, as the Great Primordial Mother and more! The divine feminine transformations women experience will shift the way humanity relates to their girlfriends, sisters, daughter, mothers, grandmothers, and with the earth. Their stories must be told!
