JOIN THE RED TENT -- ENROLLMENT OPEN THRU FEB 17 @ 5PM MST

In this solo episode I share a juicy and potent excerpt from my class Motherline Medicine where I get into:

• The collective spellcasting of feminine amnesia that severed us from our motherline medicine

• The biological factors that inform male initiations and female initiations and why women were never meant to “prove” our becoming

• The historical context fracture that forced women to imitate masculine initiation paths

• The role of the village wise woman who once midwifed her people through every the rite of passages from womb-to-tomb

• Why modern women must time travel back to their inner teenage years in order to reinitiate themselves into mature womanhood

This episode is not theory, it is a reorientation.

If something stirs inside your feminine soul—if you feel that quiet grief of what was lost and what is being asked to be reclaimed—then this episode is for you.

And, if you want to go even deeper, you are invited to join your sisters in The Red Tent.

The Red Tent is a bio-spiritual reorientation to womanhood—a structured initiation that modern culture no longer provides.

Through womb-centered education, sacred storytelling, and feminine devotional art practices, we gather in community to reweave the fractured web of women’s wisdom-keeping that has been lost across our female lineages.

By re-orienting to the five physiological initiations of womanhood — birth, blood, sex, death, and rebirth — we realign with our innate capacity for health, vitality, creativity, fulfillment, prosperity, and fertile living.

Enrollment is open through February 17 at 5pm MST

If you feel the call, now is the time to join us

In this solo episode I expand upon the Q+A portion of Motherline Medicine, a class that I recently taught about the five physiologic initiations of womanhood.

The questions that were asked were:

• How do you move through the grief of being the first woman in your family to step into women’s healing work?
• How what resources are available if you want to reweave your motherline medicine into your fractured lineage?
• How do you pass your women’s wisdom onto the next generation if you do not have blood daughters or granddaughters?
• How do you stay grounded in your feminine power when you have no female elders or in-person women’s community?

MOTHERLINE MEDICINE: free class on the 5 physiologic initiations of womanhood -- join here

Modern women have been left to initiate ourselves through the thresholds of our own feminine becoming. Without initiated female elders and intact lineages to turn to, we are searching for a way to rebirth a living culture of womanhood that is applicable for the now times that we are existing in.

In this week’s solo episode I dive into how I realigned with the five physiologic initiations of womanhood—birth, blood, sex, death, and rebirth—during my time living in the Colombian jungle and how these initiations offer us the blueprint for female health, vitality, and magic.

Throughout the episode I dive deep into an exploration of:

• Returning to our own births and acknowledging the wounds that our motherlines carry due to birth trauma, medical intervention, and obstetric violence

• Releasing distortions around menstrual and birth blood and reorienting our lives to be in service to our menstrual cycle and fertility

• What spiritually intact sexual education would entail and how it shifts our relationship to the masculine

• Holding the medicine of death within our wombs and honoring the reality of responsibility

• The cyclicality of feminine rebirth throughout menstruation, postpartum, and menopause

  
  

I’ll be diving deeper into these 5 cross-cultural initiations of womanhood in my FREE upcoming class, Motherline Medicine, on Feb 3

The harsh reality of modern womanhood is that our feminine wisdomkeeping ways have been almost entirely decimated. Across races, lineages, territories, languages, and cultures, there is a shared feminine wounding that we all experience on a daily basis regarding the loss of female rites of passages and womanhood initiations.

We are the daughters who have been left to pick up the pieces of our fractures feminine lineages and somehow reweave the innate medicine of womanhood that pulses through our blood, bones, and cells.

The question is...

How do we do that...?

In this solo episode, I go deep into:

• Why we strategically divorce ourselves from womanhood as a way to protect ourselves from different aspects of gender-based violence (particularly sexual violence)
• Recognizing our angry inner teenage girl as the young woman who is begging to be initiated
• The trauma response of feminine amnesia and the spells that it casts upon our female experience
• Unlearning masculine expectations of “proving” our worth and aligning with the inherent value that we walk with as feminine beings that birth beauty into the world
• The necessity for women to develop a strong inner masculine protector in order to cultivate and care for our feminine medicine
• Reorienting to the 5 physiologic initiations of womanhood — birth, blood, sex, death, and rebirth — as the pathway towards SELF-REINITIATION into womanhood

This episode is part of an ongoing monthlong series all about the process of reinitiating ourselves into womanhood as adults. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast along with my Substack newsletter for more in-depth explorations of this collective inquiry of the modern female experience.

Deeply committed to supporting those who have been historically marginalized and harmed by the medical-industrial complex, she uses herbal allies, body literacy education, consensual touch, ceremony/ritual, and other tools to help people make informed decisions based on their own needs, wants, and desires. JJ has extensive experience supporting Black people, multiracial and multicultural families, and single parents throughout their reproductive journeys.

In this episode we get into:

• How modern women are currently relating to womanhood, sexuality, fertility, and feminine lineage work
• Taking on the role of birth companion as a maiden who hasn’t given birth yet and all the ways in which we can support female reproductive care outside of the birthing space
• The compartmentalization of women’s reproductive care and the revitalization of full-spectrum support and witnessing
• The reality of the Maternal Health Crisis in Black and Brown communities and addressing systems of exploitation and self-sacrifice from the inside out
• The importance of re-weaving the fractured web of feminine resourcing so that we all have various layers of support for our work in the world

May this episode realign you to your deepest, innate sense of internal power, authority, and irrefutable feminine wisdom.

In this week’s episode I dive into a deep conversation of quantum ancestral realignment with my guest, Stephanie Starr. Stephanie is a student homeopath, home herbalist, and lifelong learner. She’s currently selling topical herbal products, working with clients using homeopathy, and continuing her studies in mind-body healing. After years of intense chronic symptoms, she’s brought vibrancy back to her life and is now on a path to help others navigate healing and reconnect to themselves, each other, and the earth.

In this episode we get into:

* How her own chronic health issues guided her down the rabbit hole of alternative/natural healing modalities that actually left her feeling even more disempowered than before

* A brief overview of homeopathic medicine and why this modality was purposefully blackballed and suppressed by the American Medical Association and the Rockefeller Family

* How we can work with homeopathy to clear energetic distortions (miasms) that get passed down through our families and create chronic health symptoms

* Utilizing homeopathy in the preconception portal in order to clear intergenerational trauma and birth a new generation into the family tree

* Energetic blocks that contribute to unexplained infertility and how homeopathy can help a hopeful couple conceive, gestate, and birth life

May our conversation open your eyes, ears, and heart to the possibility of healing your lineage 7 generations forwards and 7 generations back.
