The woman knows the same cycles as nature!
The female body and the body of nature have something to say to each other. Among Native Americans, when a woman has her first period, she is said to become a “changing woman.” It means that we are not the same every day. We are plural. And Nature is our great teacher.
Spring is not Autumn, Summer is not Winter … Nature teaches us that we cannot be what society would like us to be today: totally efficient every day, delivered at an almost unbearable pace … Women can be initiators, inside of us that we can be really different, at many times in the month throughout the year.
Nature, a mirror to accept yourself!
Nature is a great teacher, which makes it possible to better understand and accept each other: After all this time of ethereal, celestial, disembodied religion, where the body and the spirit were voluntarily separated, we come back to the body.
In this body, there is a mirror nature. When we look at nature, it speaks to us about ourselves. It tells us that everything is obvious. We cannot make a hedgehog become an elephant ! We rediscover our authenticity in connection with Nature. And we need it.
The return of rituals!
Because each season has its own energy, we find it interesting that we do rituals for everything now! Until then, it was reserved for religion and spiritual rites. This new craze for the ritual shows the need to give new bearings to our lives. Women who live. in town can create a small altar, simply a precious place, where we put a beautiful arrangement with things of nature that we have gone to look for. Stones, leaves, flowers … and change this nature according to the season.
Shaman woman!
We can all be magicians! The marvelous banalities, it’s not that your daily life changes, it’s your way of apprehending it, your outlook on things and what you’re going to do with them, which changes, healers, medical women, curanderas… These are all different words to say the same thing: these women have decided to be outside the norm. They perceive things other than ordinary people. They have gifts and gifts. talents, like everyone else. Some are more spiritual or more energetic, and they still use them to help those in need.
The rise of women’s circles!
More and more women meet up with each other for moments of intimate conversation. There are as many Circles of Women as there are women who animate them. They tell each other what they are going through, and not only the joyful things. But also the journeys of life, things difficult to tell outside of it. A female context. Abortion, access to pleasure, menstrual cycle… It is difficult to speak, even with one’s companion, about these taboos. The Circles of Women were first and foremost a reconstruction of a community of women. It is a family. heart that recreates itself.
