Eclectica Hub's Yurt Sessions Podcast Eclectica Hub

The Medicine Woman is an archetype within us all, yearning to be awakened. 
She calls us into radical responsibility and discernment, and reminds us to connect to the innate medicine that has always been woven into the cells of our bodies. 
The spark. The illumination. The power.  The service.

It’s all there - waiting to be seen, felt and claimed.

During this episode, Demi Lee and Annamaria speak about the multidimensional force of the medicine woman archetype and how she often introduces herself to us after we have gone through huge, transformational passages of death and rebirth. 
The Medicine Woman tethers us to Spirit, widens the way we see the world, and calls us into deeper service, integrity, and space holding. 
In this conversation, Demi Lee and Annamaria touch on both the light and the dark that we begin to see with our entire body when connecting to the subtle realms of existence.

They also share about the pathway of psychic sensitisation, the ON and OFF switch, the importance of energetic sovereignty, and what kind of boundaries and protocols are actually required to hold safer spaces  - especially when working with shamanic energy.

This episode is a deep and insightful window into the complex and delicate journey of healing from sexual trauma.

Together we will unpack the nuances and difficulties one may meet with when facing sexual trauma - shared through the lens of our own personal experiences.

In this session, we unpack our very vulnerable and complex journeys of reclamation and share about the deep impact this type of trauma can have on one’s personal agency, sense of self, and sense of safety within their bodies.

In the rawness and vulnerability of this episode we hope that we can be a voice for those who have suffered at the hands of violation. We deeply feel the importance of raising this conversation in the public sphere and cultivating safe spaces of solidarity. 

If you have personally journeyed with a violation or you know someone who has - this transmission can offer you some resources for navigating and supporting the process of healing. Please be aware that this episode contains some sensitive and potentially triggering themes. Please tune into your capacity and feel into whether or not this content is digestable for you at this stage in your healing journey.

At some stage in our lives we are bound to be thrown into the trenches of unimaginable loss, pain, heartache, and hardship. 

And it is through these confronting life challenges, that we often get to meet ourselves the most deeply. 

And that is where we find it. The gift of rupture. 

The gift of being bought to our knees and having our hearts cracked wide open.

During this episode, Annamaria and Demi Lee share the importance of experiencing fractures or hardship in your life, and how it is through these initiations that you get to explore your pain as a teacher and emerge out the other side with more wisdom, depth, and medicine to share with the world. 

They share stories of some of their own personal ruptures, and speak to the importance of choosing to fully welcome in the tears of your devastation and surrender to the full breadth of your discomfort. 

Because after all - it you’re not willing to lean in and experience the full spectrum of pain, then how can you possibly expect to experience the full spectrum of pleasure?

What does it mean to wholeheartedly embody your expression, your truth, and your sense of self in this world - and truly back yourself?

What does it mean to value authenticity over your need to be liked? What does it mean to refuse to shrink yourself, to stand strong in who you are, to fully inhabit your spine, and essentially become unfuckwithable?

During this episode Demi Lee and Annamaria speak about what it means to know yourself so deeply that other peoples energetic daggers or negative thought forms can’t touch you.  They speak about the importance of becoming more and more comfortable with feeling disliked, with holding other peoples resentment or judgement, and how that is often a clue that you are living in alignment with your own principles, rather than other peoples.

They offer insight into what it means to cultivate flexible yet sturdy boundaries, remaining receptive to other peoples experience of you, while ensuring you don’t compromise on your own inner knowing or self worth in the process.

Annamaria and Demi Lee are back with a very rich and colourful Season 2 of Yurt Sessions - returning after a 3-month break tending to some very deep cracks and transformative initiations in their personal lives.

In today's episode, they discuss their recent journeys being enveloped by profound loss. Over the past 3 months both Annamaria and Demi Lee have been uprooted into the realms of losing people they love, nursing parents through illness, and exploring their grief as a wild and uninhibited landscape. Through this initiation, amongst the pain in their hearts, they have both found grief to be a profound teacher and gift, and have returned back to the podcast to share all of their insight, heart, and tears. 

It is through this episode where they come together to continue integrating these humbling experiences of humanhood, sharing both the beauty and the pain - and how much we, as a western society, can learn through the support of the village and exploring grief as a rites of passage.

The womb is sacred. This space in a woman’s body houses her power, her autonomy, her creative fertility, her life force. It holds the codes of all the women that walked before her. It is the Portal that connects her to her deepest sense of instinct, inner authority, sovereignty, and boundaries.


Being in deep listening and returning to the wisdom of your womb - through honouring your bleed, honouring your cycle, honouring the womb’s communication with you, and honouring birth - is an act of rebellion. Each time you listen to your womb, and lead from this space, you restore power to your lineage and transcend thousands of years of feminine oppression and shame. 


Throughout this episode, Annamaria and Demi Lee discuss all things womb sovereignty - unpacking the pill, blood shame, the menstrual cycle, sexual trauma, intuitive eating, sovereign birth, and what it means to truly live a womb-led life. Through 10 years of being devoted to unpacking dogmatic belief systems and learning to really trust this centre of instinct, both Demi Lee and Annamaria believe that it is every woman’s birthright to have her womb restored to its original sovereignty so that she can reclaim her inherent power.
