Join The Open Gate – A Monthly Journey Through the Emotional Underworld
The Open Gate is a live, monthly membership circle where we explore what I call the Little Teachers—emotions like shame, jealousy, and anxiety—not as pathologies, but as sacred guides.
Each gathering includes teaching, meditation, journaling prompts, and a chance to reframe suffering as initiation.
If you’re longing for community, rhythm, and depth—this is a space to walk that path. - https://www.drjohnwprice.com/the-open-gate-lt
In this deeply reflective solo episode of The Sacred Speaks, host John W. Price explores the elusive and powerful principle of the feminine—drawing on insights from his previous interviews with Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles (author of Women in the Bible) and Elise Loehnen (author of On Our Best Behavior).
John shares personal stories of his own initiation into the world of nurturing and care as a single father, and discusses how our culture’s overemphasis on the masculine has led to the neglect and invisibility of feminine values like intuition, mystery, and nurturing.
Through the lens of archetypes—not gender—John examines how both masculine and feminine energies exist in all of us, and why restoring harmony between them is essential for personal and collective well-being.
Using metaphors from music, psychology, and mythology, he invites listeners to embrace the mystery, honor the feminine, and seek a sacred balance within themselves and the world.
Some key takeaways:
The feminine represents mystery, intuition, and nurturing—qualities often undervalued in our culture.
Masculine and feminine are archetypal energies, not tied to gender, and both are needed for inner and outer harmony.
Restoring balance means honoring both energies, embracing the unknown, and seeking integration rather than dominance.
