Womb Whispers

Let’s be honest: As a woman or menstruating person in this society, it isn’t exactly easy to grow up with a lot of reverence for your body, nor your cycle. In this spiritual-feminist podcast about menstrual wisdom and activism for our modern times, I share musings, reflections and conversations to make living as a cyclical being (ALL beings are cyclical, by the way!) in a world set up for linear progress more easeful for you. Let yourself be inspired to detox from the systems of oppression you’ve most probably internalised, so you can walk the spirals of your life with more confidence and trust in yourself and your gorgeous body and reclaim the superpower and ancient wisdom already stored in your bones! And no, you don’t need to have a uterus to benefit from this!

What makes Christmas Season so special?

2023-12-08

Today I explore the question of what it is about Christmas season that makes it feel special – so special that we collectively get into a festive mood regardless of our beliefs, and so special that it was honoured even at the front during WW I and II.

In today's noisy world we can basically buy anything any time or meet up with loved whenever we want, so why is Christmas season still such a special moment for gatherings? Why is there so much preparation going on weeks, even months before the actual Christmas Day? What is about Christmas season that makes it so special, that even though we might not be of Christian belief, we can still sense this magic in the air and want to celebrate? To explore this question, I dive into: - How Christmas is just one expression of a festival that's been celebrated by humans for millennia - The energy of Winter Solstice and how it is connected to the menstrual and the moon cycle - My favourite tradition for this time of year In the end, I believe, it's about remembering that the spark of the Divine light (whatever "Divine" means to you) is right here inside of you and will guide you on this journey called life.
