What does it take to lead with both fierce courage and compassionate grace? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Cat Bostwick, a feminine leader and community catalyst based in Ashland, Oregon, who is pioneering a new wave of conscious leadership.

• Together, we explore:
  ✨ The balance of strength and softness in feminine leadership
  ✨ Building heart-centered communities with integrity
  ✨ Navigating the inner work required to lead in alignment
  ✨ Embodying spiritual values in business and collaboration
  ✨ The importance of virtue, vision, and vulnerability in leadership

Cat is the visionary behind Luminara, a community hub for retreats, healing circles, and women in business. Her leadership is both mystical and grounded — rooted in service, sovereignty, and soul.

If you’re a healer, facilitator, or aspiring leader ready to rise — this conversation is for you.

Jenny Lee joins Claire Avelina to unpack the nuanced & complex dynamics that can arise around women gathering & sisterhood wounds – to reveal the pearl of medicine that lies therein. We reflect on our time at The Temple of Belonging, an annual transformative women’s retreat & gathering in Oregon that Jenny orchestrates.

By deconstructing the ways women have been conditioned to judge & separate from one another, we can truly reinstate what “belonging” can be – a remembrance that originates from our own bones & ancestral memory.

TEMPLE OF BELONGING

August 11-15 | Colton, Oregon

Tickets on Sale March 1st

Ben Cerezo joins Claire Avelina to discuss the collective state of toxic masculinity, and the inward journey required to redefine healthy masculinity through men's work.

This is the first episode of a series dedicated to investigating the question: "Where have the good men gone?"

The psychological impacts of p*rn on the individual are well-researched, but what about the influence it has on our relationships? In this breakdown, we look at the ways p*rn has normalized gender division, as well as potential pathways of reclaiming our autonomy and power back in our relational dynamics.

Caveats: There is no s*xuality shaming here! You are encouraged to express your s*xuality in whatever ways feel most authentic and true for you. The invitation here is to investigate where normalized p*rn culture subtly may infiltrate our behaviors and perceptions of ourselves in others, thus potentially unconsciously distorting an otherwise healthy expression of sensuality.
