Podcasts about Rite of passage

After 2 years and 6 months we are back with a metamorphosis of the show... In this reintroduction episode we visit some of the reasons the show stopped two and half years ago, and the direction we hope the show will continue on toward.In Weaver and Loom, we unravel the wonderment of the spiritual, natural, fate, and the divine through mythic and sacred story, biblical parables, ancient fables, and Christ-haunted narratives--getting lost in the mysteries of the our human creation so that we might grope our way to Christ and become illuminated in midsts of the mundane and sufferings of life. ★ Support this podcast ★

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Siân Marie Pilkington. Siân is The Wild Mama who has raised her babies and has landed shakti-based, goddess-devoted, and in service to the taboos of blood, birth, sexuality and death. A queer celt, Magdalene, radical birth worker, herbalist, and ceremonialist, she guides femmes back to the Great Mother, blending primal intelligence with embodied, Earth-honoring magic.  Siân now works purposefully to decolonize the rites of passage we've been taught to fear, reclaiming birth, postpartum, eros, and endings as sacred. Mentoring doulas and space holders in altered states, ecstatic birth, and collaborative community care, her work is a love letter to those ready to remember, rewild, and bring initiations home. In this beautiful episode about death we explore Siân's sacred and unique perspective around miscarriage as a natural, ancient healing ‘rite of passage' - rather than the taboo, over-clinicalised, sanitised, dissociative experience it can be created as by our world.  Sharing the healing transformation she was able to reclaim from her own miscarriage, and the ancient wisdom passed down from elders, Siân shines a light on the interconnectedness of grief and initiation - and the role of ritual and ceremony in alchemy.  Providing practical advice on holistic practices, herbs and remedies to support healing, she illuminates the powerful remedy that can be found (for us all) in learning how to see and hear ourselves and share our stories - touching on shame, rage and grief - and how the witch can help heal the societal avoidance of death and grief. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Miscarriage is over-sanitised in our patriarchal culture - which has it commonly not seen as the significant ‘peak experience' and transformative rite of passage that it can be, similar to live childbirth and other life transitions Miscarriage can be a deeply emotional and spiritual journey where we learn how to meet ourselves, face and process intense emotions, including grief and loss - and even pleasure - yet it is also often seen as ‘taboo' and shameful Left alone, and if we can allow ourselves to sit patiently, whilst allowing everything to move through us, the body has a natural wisdom in how to process miscarriage - and we can attune to our bodies to navigate this.  We are broken in the process - we are giving birth to death - and, often, it is also the path to reclaiming our wisdom. If we have had an over-clinicalised miscarriage, we can still journey with reclaiming this rite of passage - this threshold - through ritual and ceremony, reclaiming parts of ourselves that have felt lost to this process. Telling our story - and being seen and held in sisterhood - is a deeply crucial step in our healing journey, for personal closure. Sharing it with others also offers a remedy for them, too. We are remedies for those like us.

There comes a time in a woman's life where she has to venture into the spiritual underworld. As she descends down into the darkness, with her spirit guide alongside her, she is shown the truth of her life and the meaning of her choices. It's a death of sorts. But she gets a second chance to choose again. In this episode, Jess reads from the book Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, a book that was on the New York Times Bestseller List for 148 weeks, while giving her own insights. This time she understands the value she holds as a feminine being, she is aware of who the predators are, and she understands the consequences of her choices. This time her eyes are wide open. The journey is arduous as it's a journey of endurance and a journey that a woman has to take on her own with only her spirit guide for comfort. This is where she will gain the courage to transform. Without this deep transformation, a woman will pay the price. Without transformation into her true feminine power and her true feminine value, once again she will see that the poor bargaining in her life, where she didn't understand what she was choosing, leads her to be the sacrifice again. Only this time the suffering will be more painful as she'll know that she is the sacrifice. As she awakens to realise that she was the sacrifice, this produces a river of never-ending tears and, with that, she descends even deeper into the spiritual underworld to receive the nourishment and healing for all the psychic rips and tears. This episode is for those women (and men) who have an innocent heart, a heart that is fully open and giving, and who possibly made agreements not fully realising what they were signing up to. In this dark and haunting episode, you'll realise that you are not alone on this journey and that this is the archetypal journey of the feminine. For those who are brave enough (or are pushed unwillingly) into descending into the spiritual underworld, this is a feast and brings true power to the vision you want to create for your life. Takeaways The predator and the naive woman archetype is prevalent in many women's lives. Endurance is not just about survival; it's about growth and strength. Women often make poor bargains that lead to loss of self. The loss of innocence is a necessary rite of passage for women. The flowering apple tree symbolizes the nurturing aspect of the feminine. Understanding one's value is crucial in relationships and life. The journey into the underworld is essential for self-discovery. Women must reclaim their sovereignty to thrive. The psyche's mill must be active for nourishment and creativity. The devil represents the dark forces that prey on the unaware. The desire for an easier life often leads to personal sacrifice. Awakening to the bargains made in life can be painful but necessary. Numbness often follows the realization of sacrifices made. Dismemberment symbolizes the loss of innocence and the beginning of transformation. The incubation period is crucial for self-discovery and healing. Rituals of protection can guide us through difficult times. Tears serve as a powerful healing mechanism for the psyche. The loss of psychic hands represents a disconnection from self-care and comfort. The silver axe symbolizes the necessity of cutting away the old to make way for the new. The journey into the underworld is essential for reclaiming one's power and femininity.

— Honoring Ancestral Grief work is very subtle and profound, that takes place on a molecular level. It takes patience, devotion, compassion and an open heart to generate and embody these changes, until one day the process unfolds organically and naturally without utilizing immense reservoirs of effort. Some of the positive changes occur on the neuroplasticity level, which is the brain's ability to change through growth and reorganization. Some manifest as a deeper attuned nervous system and wider access to the information and sacred wisdom our bodies carries, a whole inner architecture that we get to know, our ancestry library.  A big part of the work of processing the un-metabolized grief of our ancestors, is to grief for them, and by doing so, for us as well. Grief call us to life. There's an importance in embracing grief to help us find deeper meaning in the joy and vitality of life.  Healing this grief may come through reconnecting with our forgotten lineage, allowing us to restore a foundation that may be missing, from which we can move more deeply into relationship with the wider world. The prayer is for the individual sovereign work we do, to ripple into our families, communities, eco-systems, lineages and the earth. What we liberate in ourselves, echos back infinitely and eternally, as a different quality of energy gets passed on to the next generations. A holistic, ancient, awaked, wise energy. One that witnesses the stories from a birds eye perspective, one that is generating the oceans of compassion and light hearted freedom.  One that is expanding our map of consciousness, that is stretching the elasticity of our collective memory and presence. It is essential we support the accessing of our own inner wisdom, so that we may connect with the ancestor that we wish to become. Valeria interviews MayRav Nissim — She is an open hearted, warm and experienced therapist and space holder.  Her work is informed by a wide range of healing modalities to help you restore, balance, and bloom.

I think that I might have met my match. For the last few years I've been feeling as though I'm the person who talks the most about lost queer spaces, but journalist David Kennerley might actually be ahead of me. He loves queer nightlife so much that he's gone and written a whole book about the long-lost gay scene of '90s New York City. The book, Getting In: NYC Club Flyers from the Gay 1990s, includes flyers that he collected throughout the '90s from legendary spaces like the Palladium, Limelight, Splash, and Tunnel. But out of all of these lost spaces it was The Roxy that had his heart. We caught up to talk about his book, his early days in NYC, and his journey with his queerness.

Send us a textIn our culture, we don't have any clear line, or event, or rite of passage for when a boy becomes a man. This leads to many boys struggling and trying to figure when, and how, they become men. A rite of passage is a powerful experience, from a young man and his father, that invites the boy into his journey of manhood.My guest today is Steven Arms, and he is a leading expert in this subject. In his book, Milestone to Manhood, Steven shares his firsthand experience of his own Rite of Passage weekend, and he reflects on how it shaped him into the man that he is today. His book also provides other men with the framework of how to hold their own Rite of Passage weekend for their sons. Connect with Steven, find his book, and learn more about a Rite of Passage at:https://Milestonetomanhood.com Connect with Warren, find his books, learn more about Significant Man live events, and more at:https://SignificantMan.com Questions Answered:·         What is a Rite of Passage?·         What's the difference between adulthood and manhood?·         How do you describe the framework for a Rite of Passage?·         Why is a challenge required in a Rite of Passage·         What about a man who cannot hold an outdoor Rite of Passage?·         Why is the age 13 suggested for this kind of event?·         What is the importance of talking about what it means to be a man with your son?·         Why is the example a man sets to his son so critical in this discussion?·         What is the role of the mother in a Rite of Passage for boys?·         Can a father lead his daughter on a Rite of Passage?·         What mistakes have you seen men make with a Rite of Passage?·         What is the most important, and last ritual, of a Rite of Passage?

Join host Therese Connolly LCSW, for an enlightening conversation with her son Casey who joins her to talk all about his experience at the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend run by Challenging Teenage Sons. It was a transformative rite of passage weekend that had a profound impact on their relationship and her son's personal growth.  ⭐Tess discusses her initial hesitations, the preparation leading up to the weekend, and the impact it had on their relationship. ⭐Casey shares his perspective on the activities, challenges, and valuable skills he gained during the weekend.  ⭐The episode highlights the importance of parent involvement, the emotional closure ceremony, and the positive changes observed in our communication post-event. ⭐Overall, the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend was a transformative experience that fostered growth, connection, and personal development for both Tess and her son Casey. ⭐Here are three key takeaways from this powerful episode: 1️⃣ Connection and Communication: Through this weekend, Casey and I experienced a significant improvement in our connection and communication. The experience allowed us to express our feelings better and truly understand each other. Our relationship has deepened, and we now communicate more openly and effectively. 2️⃣ Personal Growth and Challenges: The Young Men's Ultimate Weekend provided Casey with the opportunity to challenge himself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. He learned new skills, faced difficult tasks, and pushed himself out of his comfort zone. This experience of growth and overcoming challenges has had a lasting impact on his confidence and self-awareness. 3️⃣ Parental Involvement and Support: As a parent, being actively involved in the parent education portion of the weekend was invaluable. It reinforced the values and virtues we want to instill in our children and provided a deeper understanding of the experience. The closing ceremony, where parents and sons reconnect, was a powerful moment of recognition and growth for both parties. ⭐I highly recommend listening to this episode to learn more about the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend and the positive impact it can have on parent-child relationships.  To learn more about the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend go here
