“Breaking our silence is powerful. Whether it comes as a whisper or a squeak at first, allow that sense of spaciousness, of opening, allow yourself to trust the bottomlessness, and lean into the dark roar which will light up every cell. Though it may start softly, we build in confidence and skills, we realise we do not need to wait for permission before we open our mouths. We do not need to wait for others to make space for us, we can take it. We do not need to read from others’ scripts or style ourselves in weak comparison. We do not need to look to another’s authority because we have our own. Down in our cores. We have waited so long for permission to know that it was our time, our turn on stage. That time is now. Our voices are being heard into being. They are needed.” SilenceFeminismEmpowermentFeministPermissionVoicesSpeaking UpFeminine PowerBurning WomanWomens VoicesBreaking The Silence Book:Burning Woman Source: Burning Woman

“Who is She? She is your power, your Feminine source. Big Mama. The Goddess. The Great Mystery. The web-weaver. The life force. The first time, the twentieth time you may not recognize her. Or pretend not to hear. As she fills your body with ripples of terror and delight. But when she calls you will know you’ve been called. Then it is up to you to decide if you will answer.” MysteryCallingGoddessSheDivine FeminineFeminine PowerPriestessSacred FeminineWise WomanBurning WomanThe Call Book:Burning Woman Source: Burning Woman
“Standing in the ring of fire, the eye of the storm, the vortex of pain and pressure is simultaneously the most vulnerable and most powerful place to be. Here we embody paradox. We stand our ground and surrender completely. Here we know the full power of the Feminine.” PowerVulnerabilityFeminineGoddessCourage To Be OneselfFeminine PowerBurning WomanRing Of FireGoddess Rising Book:Burning Woman Source: Burning Woman
“Once we start to work with Feminine power we begin to see that it is not our minds that are in control of this power – it ebbs and flows with the movements of the planets, the procession of the seasons, the moons and tides, our own internal cycles of menstruality, anniversaries, the events around us. All these and more impact our experience and expressions of power. We learn to become aware of these various patterns and their impact on us and work more consciously with rather than against or in spite of them. We learn that they are all part of the same process. We open towards the energy, rather than shut down to it. We learn to trust the flow.” EnergyCyclesFeminine PowerMenstruationPriestessSacred FeminineWomen S PowerBlood MysteriesMenstruality Book:Burning Woman Source: Burning Woman
“Together we are learning to move from raw emotion and frozen muscles into a flow which emerges deep from within. We are learning to dance our prayers, bleed our words onto the page, laugh our images onto canvas, build our dreams in the world – to transmute and transmit the energy of the Feminine through our bodies and out into the world.” HealingCreativityTransformationDanceFeminineGoddessAlchemyEnergy HealingFeminine PowerWise WomanBurning Woman Book:Burning Woman Source: Burning Woman
“We dare not talk of the darkness for fear it will infect us. We dare not talk of the fire, for fear it will destroy us. And so we live in the half-light, Like our mothers before us. Come to the fire, Feel it warm your skin. Come to the fire, Feel it burn in your belly, Shine out through your eyes. Come dance in the fire, Let it fuel your prayers.” FearDarknessFireFeminismGoddessPrayersBonfireCourage To Be OneselfFeminine PowerBurning Woman Book:Burning Woman Source: Burning Woman
