Homefires with Cristy Lee Duce

So many of us have an itch, a glimpse, a suspicion we could be bigger, wider, truer than we are right now, but the road to our unfurled, integrated self seems hazy and unmarked.Welcome into this conversation with writer, student, and Homefires Teacher Mackenzie Millward, who talks about her own path of reclamation and where women can find and create spaces of healing and expansion.Mackenzie is one of my dearest friends and participants and I can't wait for you to hear her wisdom.You can find her on Instagram here:@mackenziedawn19 and inside @homefires.co

According to Indigenous Medicine Woman, Asha Frost, re-indigenizing is relationship. In this beautiful conversation, Asha teaches us about the medicine of reciprocity, respect, and integrity, both with the land and each other. We talk about appropriation versus appreciation and how we can move into right relationship with our own spiritual practices, land, and lineage.

If you feel you don't have access to your roots, ancestors, or spiritual connection and you look outside of yourself for answers, you are forgetting the medicine you need lives within you.Through storytelling, personal reflections, teachings and shamanic journeys, readers will learn to apply ancient wisdom and ancestral medicine to their own lives in meaningful ways that are respectful and conscious of the stolen lands, lives, and traditions of Indigenous peoples.

Most of us have come to the conclusion that it's too hard to do it all alone. We're too isolated, too hard on ourselves, mothering in particular is too hard unsupported.But most of us seem to be waiting for someone to come and save us. We all want the village around us, but we're waiting for someone else to come and build it for us.The journey of our lives is becoming the people that build it ourselves.In becoming people solid in our own sovereignty, we learn how to offer love as a gift and gather instead of take. Tune in to hear how society itself is reflective of our own internal journey and what we can do to bring the divine feminine principle of honoring the collective into our own lived experience.Join Homefires Collective:www.homefires.coFollow on Instagram @homefires.coCheck out Bloom, Cristy's deep immersion on transforming our relationship with romantic love at cristyleeduce.com/bloom

This is a talk given for a church women's conference so it anchors into the New Testament as a primary text. It centers on Jesus' rhythms of service and retreat and the call to live into both our human and divine selves. It ends with Mary Magdalene at the garden tomb, where her deep feelings and profound grief have brought her into contact with the Divine. Let me know how this landed for you! It's a little bit of a departure, but we'll be back on the podcast soon enough.
