When the Mother of Waters Rises Up in Fire: Betrayal Birthing Blessings, Embodied Volcano Wisdom, and Intergenerational Healing with Rachel Chase
Some connections arrive like soft thunder.
Quiet at first.But unmistakable.
This is how it felt when Rachel Chase and I sat down to speak — as if something older than both of us had arranged the meeting. A subtle pull from the land itself. A whisper from the ancestors who survived the very systems that once tried to silence us.
We came together through a shared language of healing:Creative liberation, deinstitutalized healing, hummingbirds, volcanoes, Josephine Baker, intuition, lineage, the power of dance, and the long work of returning home to the body after years inside high-control spaces.
And as we talked, I felt the unmistakable hum of synchronicity — the kind that only appears when the soul is listening and guiding the non-linear path forward.
🌿 Rachel’s Story: Fire Remembered
Rachel’s journey is a testament to what happens when someone chooses life again and again.
A survivor of childhood cult conditioning, spiritual abuse, and relational trauma, she walked a path many of us know too well: silence, self-protection, creative suppression, and the longing for something more whole than the frameworks we were raised inside.
Her healing moved through:
• art• reiki and energy work• yoga and meditation• ancestral remembering• and deep inner resilience

In our conversation, we also touched on the history of patriarchal psychology — including the ways Freud’s early theories were weaponized to dismiss women’s experiences of harm. This video offers important context:🔥
It matters because these patterns live on.They shape our nervous systems.They shape our sense of worth.They shape the very stories we are trying to rewrite.

🌋 Volcano Wisdom & Intergenerational Liberation
In my own work, volcanoes are teachers of sovereignty.
They show us how truth builds slowly beneath the surface —how pressure becomes power,how destruction becomes renewal,how fire held long enough becomes land.
When Rachel spoke about her healing, I could feel our stories reverberate through each other like seismic echoes.
Two women rising from systems that tried to shrink us —two artists returning to their own voices —two spirits guided by ancestral fire.
The synchronicity was unmistakable:we had both been receiving dreams, symbols, and intuitive nudges tied to volcanic energy.And the land that connected us both?
Mount Tahoma.A grandmother mountain.A keeper of memory.A witness to generations of suppression, resilience, and rebirth.
It felt clear:we weren’t just having a conversation.We were answering a call.
🌱 A Shared Vision Emerging
Toward the end of our conversation, I saw an image —a circle of women, creators, and lineage-bearers gathered at the base of the mountain,held by her quiet, volcanic wisdom.
Rachel felt it too.
A pilgrimage.A remembering.A return.
Not someday far away —but a seed already rooted underground.
A gathering for those reclaiming themselves after high-control religion, patriarchal conditioning, or institutional harm.A place where art, spirit, and ancestry can breathe again.A place where our great-grandmothers’ stories become guides rather than wounds.

And perhaps — when the time is right —we will gather together beneath Mount Tahomaand let her remind us:
The fire in you is older than the systems that tried to silence it.And it is rising.
