Therapy With The Sacred Feminine

In our society we have been conditioned away from the Sacred or Archetypal Feminine. This conditioning can occur in everyone, although it is perhaps most prominent for Men. The Sacred or Archeypal Feminine represents our capacity to feel, to relate to our experiences and to others, to know our connection with the totality of who we are. It is our connection to the Unconscious, to dreaming, liminality, receptivity, and not-knowing. It is also dynamic, creativity, mutability and transformation.

When our connection with the Sacred Feminine is damaged we suffer in our relationships. We experience self-alienation, self-doubt. We live life through our heads and judgments rather than through our unified body-mind.

My work with the Sacred Feminine is multitudinous. In my therapy practice, it is primarily incorporated by using somatic and/or body based techniques, altered-state work including depth hypnosis, dreamwork, imagination and/or guided meditation.
