Red Tent Gatherings

RT- ep. 9                  The Wildish Nature
               ~ following what is sane, wild & creative in us ~
                                     The Healer 

In the Red Tent, the Wild Woman archetype wants to have a feast with us and we give space to her stories, poems & songs about the rich, complex, alluring, adventurous expressions that come forth in us and through all of Nature when we let her flourish and take root in us, around us. This marks the beginning of a journey into the mystery of the wilderness that has traps and dangers, but also abundant gifts and breathtaking beauty, profound healing, roadsigns to help us navigate our journey.

In today’s episode, I want to honor Clarissa Pinkola Estés, a pioneer in mapping out feminine psychology and the Wild Woman archetype. She has been there for us, to encourage our deep, wild, powerful and creative selves that have much to offer in the most unconventional ways.

You might know:” Women who run with the wolves”, or “ Untie the strong woman”, or “ Theater of the imagination” and so much more. Her insight into our wild spirit, our wounded and healthy self, connected to the gorgeous, untamed wilderness of Nature, is profound and a huge contribution to our shining, developing and wildly creative womanhood that must be born continuously!

In today’s episode, we are navigating a special place and ceremony on Earth that celebrates the understanding that the Earth is very much alive and communicates with us, and we with her, if we choose to do so.

In today’s first episode, we are exploring the idea of calling by name the help that we would love to get, that we would like to involve with what we are doing here. Help from this earth or from beyond. It is also an homage to the healers who have gone before us since ancient times, who are still dedicated to helping us making it through this hard time, balancing the forces, bringing light in, assisting us in our work, when we invite them and call them by name.

This poem is called "Mamas Curanderas" or "Mother Healers", written by Esther Marion.

The song is called "Grandma Easters Lullaby" by Pura Fe of the group Ulali. Sung here by Esther and Golondrina.
