In our ancient myths and practices we rediscover a much needed framework which can help us understand our experience of deep pain and suffering. These myths can be our roadmaps for those times when we feel we have lost our way. Inanna is an ancient Sumerian goddess, and her journey down into the underworld provides [Read More...]

About giving, bitterness and learning to receive.
Women love to give. It gives us deep pleasure to give. In fact, our body produces healthy hormones when we give. It’s essential for the feminine to give. But what we do is that we give and we give and we give and we give and we give and we give and we give and [Read More...]
Choosing which stories to enter, and which ones to exit.
Guest Blog by Hiro Boga Were you the kind of kid who daydreamed a lot? I was. Both my kids were too. It’s one of those things we do naturally, as children, because we’re still so connected to ourselves, our souls, and our Source. We haven’t yet lost touch with our true stories. When I [Read More...]
Sister, Search No More. The Key is Authenticity
Do you want to feed the trance, or do you want to be an instrument of awakening? There’s so much plastic and hype out there, and yes the masses are eager for it, because we think it will feed our soul. But it doesn’t. It never does. Instead we have a culture suffering from painful [Read More...]

Where is My Passion & Spark?
Guest Blog By Lisa Schrader A common complaint I hear from women I meet in my retreats and coaching sessions, is that they just don’t have the “energy for sex.” It feels like a chore, another item on the already overwhelming “to do” list. They often find themselves “giving up or giving in.” If you [Read More...]
Break the Spell of Fear
To me the Awakening Women Way is both an inner journey as well as an outer journey, and the outer journey has taken me around the world and I’ve been meeting with thousands of women in many countries by now. Together we are exploring, like we are exploring together here, how we can live a [Read More...]
My first TEDx talk: The Fierce Face of the Feminine
In early December, in the very last lap of the year of 2010, another dream of mine came through: I was invited to give a TEDx talk! It was the amazing powerhouse-women of SeeJaneDo, who against all odds managed to be chosen to arrange a TEDx Women’s conference right here where I live in the [Read More...]
Have you ever given that perfect gift?
Guest blog by Cynthia Kersey The idea comes to you like a lightning bolt. A-ha, that’s it! It’s the perfect gift. It is thoughtful and personal and it will bring great joy to the other person.

Where do you find your worth?
Today I’m contemplating the message of Lakshmi, the Goddess of true wealth. In these days of “get- your- dream- sports- car- using- the- law- of- Attraction” and “I-do-it-my-way” , the Deep Feminine is calling us to sincerely investigate what is true wealth. What is success? Lakshmi has 108 names, and each name represent a different [Read More...]
About Commitment, Passion & the Masterpiece

Bathing in My Souls Deepest Potential
Guest blog by Susanna Nova In the movie The Fountain, Izzi says; every shadow, no matter how deep, is threatened by morning light. I love this film, letting it in is like bathing in my own souls deepest potential. Reading the quote above I am feeling the word “threatened”… wondering, but yes, that is often [Read More...]
It Ain’t Easy
Guest blog by Niki Andre “Easy” This word’s been coming up for me a lot in the past months. As in, “Damn Niki, you’re not easy” and “Why do people make relationships so hard? All this game playing. It should be easy” “It is easy” “It is?” Not for me it ain’t. My mother came [Read More...]

BRINGING NATURAL BEAUTY INTO WOMEN’S LIVES~ The Women’s Temple Group
Guest Blog by Maria Vikman from the Awakening Women Team When I first started to do my feminine practice I knew I was home! Home with “me” and fully in my own body. I did not even know what I had missed out for so long. Soon I stepped into being the retreat organizer, and [Read More...]
MY LIVED EXPERIENCE IS THAT WOMEN SIMPLY ADORE WOMEN
as you maybe already know by now one of our (white hot) mottoes in the Awakening Women community is that; I don’t have to do it alone. (Oh, why not) please say it with me (out loud) I DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE! okay (feels good right?) so since I am a woman who [Read More...]
are you willing to dangle in emptiness?
We are all wildly creative whether we want to acknowledge it or not. Even if you don’t identify yourself as a so-called artist, or creative type, you cannot, even for a moment, separate yourself from the creative unfolding that is life, all around and within you. In the feminine awakening journey, many women begin to [Read More...]
“I did not meet Jesus, I met a dog.”
I just read a wonderful story by spiritual activist Andrew Harvey about a faded movie actress who reclaims her will to live when she one day meets a homeless dog.

The Trap of Postponement
In our attempt to live up to everybody’s expectations, time disappears like sand through our fingers, and our true passion is nothing but a faint shadow in our dreams. We all have very good reasons for postponing the expression of our creative gifts. There is the floor that needs to be mopped, the phone calls [Read More...]
