Are you ready to reclaim your power and step into your true divine feminine sovereignty? Rima Bonario joins us to share the seven queendoms, and how you can embody this sacred energy and use it to create a life that is in alignment with who you really are. Explore the powerful energy of the divine feminine, and how to tap into it to awaken your inner goddess and embody your truest, most authentic self. Through connecting with various goddess archetypes, you will gain a deeper understanding of your own unique strengths, talents, and abilities.Unlock the power of the goddess within on Exploring the Mystical Side of Life. In episode 189, we dive into the four archetypal energies that people can fall into and the impacts they can have on us. We discuss the need for balance between masculine and feminine energies, especially in relation to the Age of Aquarius. Our guest explains how childhood conditioning can make it difficult to truly know oneself and the importance of harnessing both energies to operate effectively in the world. We also explore the power of ceremony and ritual, especially when combined with essential oils, in making deep, permanent shifts. Our guest shares her journey toward reclaiming their feminine divine and how this culminated in her work with the seven queendoms. Suffering from COVID-19, our guest developed a healing protocol using essential oils and psycho-spiritual practices, which proved successful. We hear about a fifth-generation alchemist and discuss the benefits of using essential oils to clear, align, and balance our chakra system. Finally, our guest focuses on the grounded queen, her corresponding shadow expressions, and the importance of having physical sovereignty to avoid being stuck or scattered. Rima Bonario's perspective on spirituality was transformed after reading Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd twenty years ago, which led her on a journey to uncover a different way of looking at spirituality. Growing up Italian Catholic, this was a new territory for her, so she read The Da Vinci Code to further her research. After taking her first sacred travel journey to Egypt, Rima began to hear the voice of the Goddess and felt a deep connection to her. This led her down a path of following clues and cues that eventually helped her make the shift into her more feminine nature.

Today, Marv Baldwin joins us to talk about the experience of engaging the spiritual journey to discover the pull on our hearts towards love and compassion, the struggles we tend to encounter once we become aware of that internal desire, and what we can do to stay grounded and centered in the midst of it all. Marv Baldwin is a pastoral counselor and spiritual director living in Western Springs, IL. He founded Soul Journeys in 2018 and is honored journeying with small groups, individuals and organizations as we explore the Divine in our midst. Marv's compassion to serve those who are hurting led him to join the Butterfly PAC who is shifting the political focus to first think about those in need. By honoring and listening to the voices of those who suffer and providing opportunities to speak truth to power, the Butterfly PAC's aim is to invite those with position, power, and or resources to answer their compassionate call from within to prioritize those hurting and in need. Marv's beloved is Amy and they have 3 wonderful adult-ing children. Additional Resources:Website: Soul JourneysWebsite: Butterfly PACSpiritual Practices Resource: Inner Exploration Guide – Courage to be Compassionate from Soul JourneysBook: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia OwensBook: The Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd#CenteringPrayer#BreathPrayer#MeisterEckhart#SocialJustice#InnerJourney#Compassion#Love#Listening#Spiritual DirectionFor Transcript:Go to the "Transcript" Tab.If you are in a player that does not have the Transcript Tab, use the link below:https://thecontemplativelife.buzzsprout.com/1642654/11250756-ep-85-compassion-in-today-s-worldSign up for our newsletter here: https://foundrysc.com/connect/newsletter

Sue Monk Kidd is one of the world's most beloved writers, occupying a rare intersection of critical and commercial success writers dream of.    Perhaps most recognized for her #1 New York Times Bestsellers, The Secret Life of Bees, which went on to become the basis for a blockbuster movie, and The Invention of Wings, her earlier works, When the Heart Waits, an autobiographical account of a spiritual awakening, and Dance of the Dissident Daughter, a memoir that explores feminist theology, were groundbreaking for millions of seekers too.   And yet, she's still willing to acknowledge how hard it is to start a new project. Sue says that every time she sits down to start a new project, she feels like a beginner. Fortunately, she listens to her soul and her craft, and together, they get here there.   Jen and Sue also discuss:   How Sue consistently taps into what women are feeling and experiencing Recurring themes throughout her body of work How writing memoir helped her find courage and freed her to write fiction How she pivoted in her spiritual life but maintained her creative beacons Writing as an act of courage that serves your soul Why Sue believes our salvation is in our imagination The importance of writing what you deeply care about  Creativity as playing with what you love  The two questions to ask yourself when starting a novel Using imagery and collages as part of the writing process  Why Sue still feels like a beginner  How she dealt with the staggering success of The Secret Life of Bees How perfectionism stymies writing Method and mystery, beginning the writing process, and writing rituals Doing research for historical fiction What Sue would say to her younger self Reflecting on her spiritual path The importance of the simplicity of being Creating as a spiritual act, writing as prayer Transitioning between projects The tension and energy that goes into writing a book Get a copy of Sue's books here:   The Secret Life of Bees Amazon Bookshop   The Invention of Wings Amazon Bookshop   When the Heart Waits Amazon Bookshop   Visit jenniferlouden.com/podcastkit to get instant access to a collection of audios that will help you with some of the most common struggles we creatives have to manage including fear of choosing, falling into compare and despair, managing the inner critic (s), and feeling too exposed and vulnerable when you put yourself or your work into the world.

The tension that seems to exist between the rational and the intuitive does not necessarily have to be a conflict.  If we can bring these two spheres into harmony and balance, we can draw forth a stronger and more complete understanding and approach to our lives!  In this episode of the show, we unpack the ideas of the mystic and the scientist, and how leaning too far one way can leave us scared and dogmatic.  From the many different systems and frameworks that we all have access to, to the inner wisdom and knowing that can be found through the right questions, there are so many paths to a fulfilling and self-actualized existence.  It is only when we adhere to external and ill-fitting boxes that we find ourselves in trouble, experiences that both of us have had, especially in our younger years!  In this world of dogmatic science and the still-dominant patriarchy, it is so important for inquisitive and strong-willed women to follow their hearts, and we hope this episode is a clear reminder of that.  So, to hear all about it and share in this ever-blossoming flower of realization, be sure to listen in today!   Key Points From This Episode: An introduction to the ideas of past lives, soul groupings, and human design.  The attraction of different systems for understanding our lives in today's world.  Scientific explanations for manifestation and what seemed previously inexplicable.  Experiences of allowing things to happen and making space for special encounters.  Feelings of confusion and discomfort around mysticism in our younger years.  Selecting the parts of systems that resonate and constructing your own canvas.  Sarah's memory of energetic connection and a deeper sense of knowing at a younger age.   Listening to the different parts of ourselves; accessing the subconscious and the dream self.  Accepting the knowing and responding to the urge to reach out to others.  Allowing space for astrology and the parts of it that make sense to us!  Keeping a playful and lighthearted approach to mysticism; avoiding dogma and fear. The self-righteousness that can very often be attached to science.  Cultivating a healthy balance between the rational and mystical, and how this relates to feminine and masculine energies. The relationship between land ownership and the oppression of women.  The work that goes into finding your inner wisdom and what knowing feels like.  Situating ourselves within the history of ostracized and exceptional women!    Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Inner Archeology Email Sigur Rós Many Lives, Many Masters Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself The Biology of Belief The Dance of the Dissident Daughter  The Book of Longings  Virginia Woolf Sarah Turner on Instagram Emily Pennystone on Instagram

The Woman Beings sit down to discuss the topic of "deconstruction" in depth, and share their own personal journeys of deconstruction. In much of the Christian world, there's not much room for asking questions, doubt, or uncertainty about one's faith. For most Christians, deconstruction is almost synonymous with leaving the faith. They share their own questions, how the journey can be lonely, the importance of having a trustworthy community to process with, and how to keep close to Jesus in the process.

BOOKS WE TALK ABOUT: Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk KiddWhen the Heart Waits by Sue Monk Kidd

Today on the Everything Belongs Podcast, we are in conversation with Steph Jagger. Steph is an author, speaker, coach, and world record smasher who happens to dabble in alchemy and energy. Her first book, Unbound: A Story of Snow and Self-Discovery, was released by Harper Collins in 2017 and details her awe-inspiring journey around the world on skis. Since that journey, Steph’s work has focused on our ability to unlock and access truths – physical and mental truths, deep wordless truths, ancestral truth, as well as archetypal and mythological truth. She is the Chief Intuitive Officer behind coaching and development programs like The Great Big Journey, Read Like a Mother, and Sacred Rebellion, as well as a sought after speaker and facilitator. At her core, Steph is an expert in finding doorways to liminal space, and helping those who dare to enter make their way through to the other side and beyond. Her second memoir – a story of mothers and daughters – is set to be released by Flatiron Books in 2021. In this conversation, Madison and Steph discuss what "rooted feminine" means, the importance of getting back into the body to reconnect with the feminine, and how to flow through and root into our personal life-death-life cycles. Steph speaks candidly on how she personally feels about being consumed through her memoirs and her own thoughts around moving from the maiden to mother archetypes.  Plus, Madison and Steph speak about her group program, which she facilitates without any pre-content and the importance of allowing flow in our healing and life journeys. Listen in here...In this episode we talk about:how healing it can be when we sit without having immediate answers, definitions or information and instead let it all settle in for as long as it needsSteph's analogy that the feminine space is an interconnected space, like a forestSharing our stories after the whole experiences has been lived, felt and rootedHow we use information as a way to override what our feminine, our sense and our intuition are telling us"The river under the river" and how this image relates to living into our authenticity and core truthHaving our stories and 'self' be consumed as brands rather than allowing our art, work or message be the focusSo much more...Mentions:Steph's book "Unbound"Book: "Dance of The Dissident Daughter" by Sue Monk KiddBook: "Untamed" by Glennon DoyleBook: "Women who run with the wolves" by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola EstésMemoirists: Elizabeth Gilbert and Cheryl StrayedBook: "Belonging" by Toko-pa TurnerWhere to find:Enrollment for all of Steph's 2021 programs will be opening soon. Check out her offerings hereSteph's Instagram

Book of Longings: Sue Monk KiddTHE BOOK OF LONGINGS is a novel Sue Monk Kidd was born to write—a powerfully imagined, beautifully composed, fully realized story of a young woman who realizes her passion and potential against great odds. In a voice that is assured and intoxicating, the novel takes up many of the signature themes of Kidd’s fiction: feminism, the bonds between women, the search for self, and the quest for one’s voice and purpose in life. In particular, this novel explores the longings and “largeness” within women, addresses the importance of women’s stories and voices, and encourages readers to grapple with the inherent sexism in society and western religion. How would the world be different if Jesus had had a wife who had been part of the story? Would western culture and Christianity have evolved somewhat differently? Would women and their stories have found more inclusion and equality? THE BOOK OF LONGINGS invites readers to contemplate these questions, and reconsider the story we thought we knew.Sue Monk Kidd's debut, The Secret Life of Bees, spent more than 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, has sold more than 6 million copies in the U.S., was turned into an award-winning major motion picture and a musical, and has been translated into 36 languages. Her second novel, The Mermaid Chair, was a #1 New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a television movie. Her third novel, The Invention of Wings, an Oprah's Book Club 2.0 pick, was also a #1 New York Times bestseller. She is the author of the acclaimed memoirs The Dance of the Dissident Daughter, a groundbreaking work on religion and feminism, and the New York Times bestseller Traveling with Pomegranates, written with her daughter, Ann Kidd Taylor. She lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. www.suemonkkidd.comLearn more about Simran here:www.iamsimran.comwww.1111mag.com/

The world feels like it’s exploding. With Covid-19 and anti-racism protests both raging through our streets, I had a sensitive, maybe even a bold question to ask Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Patchett, two longtime literary idols of mine. How are a couple of white women so audacious as to write books where the majority of characters are not their race or gender? How does a woman, sitting alone in a room, put her mind and heart into the soul of a man? Or an African American (enslaved, or modern-day). Or an Amazonian tribesperson. A Japanese business mogul. A Peruvian general. A terrorist. An American soprano. A brother and sister over the course of five decades. Or—as in the case with Sue’s new book—the wife of Jesus? And, in today’s tumultuous times, amid discussions about cultural appropriation, would they even attempt to tackle these topics if they were starting over?Do you remember where you were when The Secret Life of Bees came out (Sue’s first novel that sold 6m copies and became a film starring Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, and Dakota Fanning)? I’ll never forget being glued to my couch for two days. Bees was my gateway drug to Sue’s memoirs, including the revolutionary, Dance of the Dissident Daughter—a beautiful unfolding of a woman’s spiritual life in a most feminine way. She’s currently on tour—from her house—for The Book of Longings (on the New York Times bestseller list now). Perhaps you heard Ann and me chatting early last year when she was here (where we discussed several of her incredible books: Bel Canto, State of Wonder, and Nashville among them). Since then, Ann has released the New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the PULITZER PRIZE, The Dutch House, plus, Lambslide, for the kiddos.Like these ladies, this is a deeply FUN and rich conversation. I loved hearing about where they get their audacity, and empathy, to write about lives so far removed from their own. Also, where they write, how they write (about others), researching strategies, thoughts on social media, and my favorite question of all: how they STEAL time away from loved ones to get ‘er done. We have some laughs about that one. I’m so glad you’re here! Write on, LS xo
