Join Elayne Kalila with her sister heart Marguerite as they dive into the world of the sacred feminine and plant medicine. 

Over the last few years, there has been an incredible resurgence of interest in using plant medicine to open ourselves to deepen self-knowledge and healing. It is being used in many therapeutic settings with amazing results. And with anything that is a medicine, there is also a way in which we are being called to more deeply discern and be present to how we interface with them. 

How do we partner with these sacred allies as sacrament? How do we open the way to a deeper connection with the sacred feminine through the use of Ayahuasca, Mushrooms, and Cannabis? Join us as we dive into this very timely and potent conversation.

Some of what we explore:

What does it mean to use plant medicines ceremonially instead of recreationally?

The use and misuse of sacramental medicine

How can plant medicines connect us to the reclamation of the sacred feminine? 

How do we develop a relationship with a plant spirit? 

The connection between plant spirits and the faerie kingdom

How to prepare for a sacred relationship with plant medicine 

Join me and my incredible soul sister, Achintya Devi, as we explore the Rose Mysteries and the rise of the Magdalene Consciousness in our collective at this time. Once again, we dive into the storyline of the reclamation of the Way of Love, protecting what's sacred, and the initiatory path that many of us find ourselves on at this time.  

The Goddess has been exiled for the last few thousand years, and therefore, half of creation has been missing. We see so much that isn't working, how much is falling apart – AND – we also see so much that is blossoming and awakening simultaneously. 

What does it mean to truly walk the Way of Love, recognizing the unique gifts and passions that are here to be woven as a tapestry of this timeline? 

She is calling to us – because each of us has a mission to fulfill on the personal and also on the collective – as we are woven together in the legacy of the rebirth of the divine feminine,  in partnership with the divine masculine. 

We dive into the necessity of alchemical work, the application of heat that aids in the process of enlightenment, or purification. This is an awakening of consciousness at a cellular level.

Some of what we explore:

What does it mean to walk the Way of Love?

Who is Magdalene as the Sovereign Queen? 

How is the Sophia Consciousness returning to us?

How is Mother Gaia going through her own alchemical transmutation at this time? 

How are we experiencing the quickening – how do we experience alchemy within our bodies? 

What is the journey of reclamation, purification, and regeneration that we are on?

What does it mean to sit in the fire of the initiation of the times we are living in?

How do we show up and protect the sacred at this time?

It's been quite a ride over the last 3 months and you may have noticed that we have been on hiatus. The end of 2023 held a lot more in store for me than I could have anticipated!

In this first episode of the new season, I bring forward my heart in a whole new way. Having traversed a very real death and rebirth cycle, I arrive to you now with compassion, love, and some well-timed humor - as I reflect on what it means to be walking this path of love.

Join me for this deep, heartfelt revelation of what I am now calling “The Reckoning.” 

As you know, over the last year I have been diving deeply into this rite of passage known as perimenopause.  

In this episode, we explore the profound transformations and challenges that come with the rites of passage in a woman's life, particularly during perimenopause and menopause.

What is this transition all about really? 

I have had hundreds of conversations with all kinds of women at this point about what they have struggled with, including all the wild symptoms in the body — hot flashes, insomnia, heart palpitations, aches and pains, emotional roller coasters — you name it...

And yet, the one thing that they all have in common is not the physical or emotional symptoms, but the incredible power of this transition. 

A rite of passage that is marked by some kind of Reckoning that has us face into what we have avoided – until now – and really look at it in the eye. 

Whatever that thing is, it finds us all eventually. Join me as I skate around the inner landscape of what it looks like for millions of women to come of age - as Queens, Magicians, Empresses, Wise Women, and Generatrix of a new world. 

In this episode, we explore: 

Women's rites of passage, the Underworld + the Reckoning

Perimenopause, Grief, and Love  

Facing fears and demons in the dark

Price of patriarchal domination on our feminine bodies 

How do we embrace The reckoning as a time when we must confront everything within ourselves that we have not yet healed or loved into wholeness?

The journey of self-mothering and self-love — what is it? 

Embracing the mystery of life and the beauty and horror that coexist within it, finding a deeper understanding and compassion for oneself and others

Join me and my deep soul sister and priestess apprentice, Sarah Jenks, as we dive into what it means to claim the path of the modern-day priestess as a grounded, respected, and honored vocation.

Journey with us as we talk about being a priestess initiate to fully claim your wyrd, proudly fly your freak flag, and walk the edge of discomfort that ultimately leads to a life lived in deep integrity to your purpose and mission. 

Sarah went to the right schools, knew the right people, and married the doctor; but that life was out of alignment with her mystic nature. Learn how she became a Priestess–despite her resistance. 

In this episode, we explore: 

• What it means to be a modern-day priestess

Join me and my incredible soul sister, Lisa Schrader, as we explore the least talked about, most intimate initiations of the menopause journey. 

Get ready because we spill the beans about all the things that no one tells you.

This has to be one of the most intimate conversations that I have recorded and charts my personal descent journey into facing some of the hardest and most revealing aspects yet of my menopause journey. 

Lisa is my go-to woman whenever there is “something going on” in realms of my feminine body, my sexuality, my desire, my intimacy, and the initiations that come for most of us in these “queening” years. 

Prepare to have your heart opened, to laugh, cry, gasp, and at the end of it all, not feel so alone … or that you are losing it (although sometimes, losing it is just what is needed)! 

Some of what we explore:

• Vaginal Atrophy? I mean WTF is that? And who named it that?!

In this first episode of the new season, I come rolling back with more RED magic.

Join me as I set the scene for the next series of RED and let you into the discussions I’ve been having recently about what it means to embrace our saging process and make a timely claim to the power of menopause.

We all know about the three phases: Maiden, Mother, and Crone. 

But what happens if you’re in between the Mother or Crone phase? What is this phase called and who is the archetypal power that resides within us when we reach the fabulous 50’s? 

Could it be the Maga, Queen, or Empress?

In this episode:

• What if you’re not yet ready to be a Crone, but you surely aren’t a Mother anymore?

What is this emerging face of the feminine? Who She is within us? What are her characteristics?

Let’s explore how naming her gives us more freedom, power, self-gnosis, and support to honor our life journey of the 50-something-year-old amazing women that we are! 

Join me and my beautiful sister, Dr. Nicola Amadora, as we explore the Magdalene and the Way of Love. 

This is one of the most heart-opening, deeply honest conversations I’ve ever had. 

Nicola is a heart-sister of mine; I feel such kindred love for her. She’s an extraordinary speaker and transmitter of what it means to walk the Way of Love. 

Prepare to have your heart opened and confronted by what love actually is. It’s not as simple as it seems… 

Come explore shadow work, humility, kindness, and fierce courage from the lens of being divinely human. 

This is a tender hearted, humorous chat that will have you daring to examine all the ways that you are being called into your own path of spiritual and human maturation! 

Some of what we explore:

• What is the Way of Love, anyway?

For three decades she has been ushering thousands of women home.

Join me and the audacious, amazing Thema Azie Serwa as we fire-up a conversation about our wombs and Woman God … which happens to be the name of Thema’s new book!

Thema is a Red Woman Magdalena if ever there was one!

Thema is a dose of rocket fuel, so get ready for some high speed, say-it-like-it-is, raw, honest, vulnerable, and hilarious truth spilling moments. 

In this episode, you’ll hear all about magick, mystery, womb healing, spiritual awakening, and so much more! 

We both love to ask uncomfortable questions so as to understand how we’re called to find the sanctity of our wombs, awaken our magic, and step into our fullest expression of love. 

Thema shares her profound healing journey through the remembrance of her womb … and how this changed nearly everything in her life. 

This riveting episode will have you laughing, crying, and blushing … and most importantly, knowing nothing is impossible if we choose alignment…

Some of what we explore:

• How to reclaim our spiritual lineages

BIO:

Imagine being 2 years old, standing on top of your mother’s dining room table, preaching about wars you fought in your baby gibberish, then laying hands on people saying “heal” and they heal. 

Reverend High Priestess, Thema Azize Serwa, as a child, would steal her mother’s lotion and stuff plants in them and call it medicine. She is unapologetically God’s juju girl.

By age 6, Thema launched her first business, and has owned a non-profit and multiple for profit businesses, all of her life. Here she is over 30 years later, Founder and pioneer of The Womb Sauna blazing a trail of divine feminine power that is undeniable. 

With a brand in 15 different countries, Thema has reached millions through her consistent message to heal everything. 

As a viral sensation, best selling author, ordained interfaith minister, and radically authentic leader, she has already documented her impact in Sheen Magazine, Huffpost, Femi Magazine, Fox News, and many other media outlets throughout the world.

For Thema, your empowerment is her passion. She brings you a little closer to God.

Join me and New York Times best-selling author, Magdalena Kathleen McGowan, as we travel deep and wide into the landscape of The Magdalene—the historical woman and the collective archetype. 

This riveting episode goes fast and furious, as we’re both fiery, red-headed Celtic women! 

Kathleen has spent her life dedicated to the reclamation of the voices and stories of important women, creating a herstory through her historical novels. The Magdalene is probably the most famous of all…

In this episode, we explore how Mary Magdalene may be one of the most influential and important figures who changed the course fo Western history. 

Kathleen and I are deeply inspired by the Magdalene and how to embody being modern-day Magdalenas. 

Some of what we explore:

• Magdalene as a role model for the modern woman

BIO: 

Kathleen McGowan’s journey to becoming a foremost expert in the field of women’s histories encompasses decades of research and global travel, as well as her own life’s initiations. She has spent 30 years studying the legends of Mary Magdalene in France, and that of the women who have claimed her as their spiritual godmother for over 2000 years: queens, warriors, scholars, mystics, women who changed the world but have been unsung. As the New York Times and global best-selling author of “The Magdalene Line” trilogy, her books broke foreign language distribution records, appearing in 40+ languages, even while the content was controversial and ahead of its time. Her new book, The Boleyn Heresy, was an instant Amazon bestseller and #1 in multiple categories.  She is also a regular contributor on the History Channel.com

Join me and the incredibly erudite Magdalena, Sophie Strand. We converse about who Mary Magdalene is and was as a rooted, grounded, earthy sensual woman, teaching us the ecology of being human and divine. 

Sophie is an incredible Magdalene storyteller, if ever there was one! You’ll love hearing about her upcoming new book, The Madonna Secret. You’re definitely going to want to red (read!) it, as soon as it hits shelves in mid-August. 

Hear all about what inspired Sophie to write her amazing book and how it initiated her in a very deep way. 

This is a dive into one possible story of the potent relationship that may have existed between Magdalene and Yeshua. 

Some of what we explore:

• Why Magdalene and why now?

Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. The author of The Flowering Wand, her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels The Madonna Secret will also be published by Inner Traditions in Summer 2023.
