    The 5 Physiologic Initiations of Womanhood

    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 CONNECT WITH CLAIRE + THE PODCAST My Website ⁠Book a 1:1 Consultation⁠ ⁠Substack: Extended Episodes + Writing⁠ ⁠Instagram

    Adult Female Initiations

    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 initiatedThe trauma response of feminine amnesia and the spells that it casts upon our female experienceUnlearning masculine expectations of “proving” our worth and aligning with the inherent value that we walk with as feminine beings that birth beauty into the worldThe necessity for women to develop a strong inner masculine protector in order to cultivate and care for our feminine medicineReorienting 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.
