    Women's Spiritual Anatomy Series: The Vulva + Vagina

    This week’s episode of The Serpentine Path Podcast is an excerpt from the first class of the Women’s Spiritual Anatomy Series, where we explored Female Relationality + Receptivity through the lens of the vulva and vagina. In this episode, we get into: The difference between the vulva + vagina — anatomically, biologically + symbolically. How the vulva acts as a doorway, boundary + protective barrier, while the vagina is designed for receiving, release + passage. How our experiences of touch, sex, shame, safety + separation can shape the way we experience sensation, tightness + discomfort in this part of the body. Why our relationship with our vulva + vagina may begin long before our first sexual experience, through birth, our mothers + the messages we inherit about female bodies. How to care for + reconnect with the vulva and vagina through different stages of womanhood, including perimenopause + menopause. To dive deeper into the full class, you are invited to join the Women’s Spiritual Anatomy Series—an 8-month journey exploring the biological, emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions of the female body. The complete series is available for $80, which gives you lifetime access to the replays of all eight classes. Our next class will be held Thursday, September 24, where we’ll explore Female Communication + Boundaries through the anatomy, energetics, and spiritual significance of the cervix, through, and nervous system.

    How to Stop Adulting Alone with Elani Engelken

    BECOMING THE ELDERS -- DENVER, CO -- SEPT. 26 + 27 A CO-ED WEEKEND IMMERSION In this week's episode I welcome back my dear friend and collaborator, Elani Engelken, to the show. Elani is a depth psychotherapist and somatic healer whose work sits at the intersection of nervous system science, depth psychology, and embodied healing. She works with individuals, couples, families, and groups to explore the patterns that live beneath the surface, in the body, in the lineage, and in relationship. She is particularly drawn to the places where psychology and the sacred meet. In this episode we get into: Why years of therapy + self-work can still leave you feeling like you’re going in circles How the nuclear family has left so many of us overwhelmed, isolated + trying to figure out adulthood on our own Why you can be successful, capable + fully grown and STILL feel like a lost child when life gets hard Why endlessly tending to your inner child can keep you stuck in healing mode instead of moving forward with your life How we move from “who is going to take care of me?” to becoming the future elders our families + communities can actually lean on And this is exactly why we created Becoming the Elders. Because at some point, healing has to become initiation. We have to stop waiting for our parents, partners, therapists, or communities to give us the adulthood we never received — and consciously step into becoming the mature adults + future elders our families will one day look to.
