POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
To all the โ€œwild womenโ€  in my life- family, friends, and this community- I am so grateful for you. We have so much power as individuals and collectively.  Instagram would only let me tag 20 women but there are so many more of you! โค๏ธ In her book โ€œWomen Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetypeโ€ Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D. writes of the feminine nature:
โ€œItโ€™s not by accident that the pristine wilderness of our planet disappears as the understanding of our own inner wild nature fades. It is not so difficult to comprehend why old forests and old women are viewed as not very important resources. It is not such a mystery.โ€ Estes says: โ€œWhen women reassert their relationship with the wildish nature, they are gifted with a permanent and internal watcher, a knower, a visionary, an oracle, an inspiratrice, an intuitive, a maker, a creator, an inventor, and a listener who guide, suggest, and urge vibrant life in the inner and outer worlds. When women are close to this nature, the fact of that relationship glows through them. This wild teacher, wild mother, wild mentor supports their inner and outer lives, no matter what. "The wild woman carries the bundles for healing; she carries everything a woman needs to be and to know โ€ฆ As in all art, she resides in the guts, not in the head โ€ฆ She whispers from night dreams, she leaves behind on the terrain of a womanโ€™s soul a coarse hair and muddy footprints โ€ฆ She is the voice which says, โ€˜This way, this way.โ€ โ€ฆ She is from the future and from the beginning of time.โ€ It is only natural then, that at this important time of re-evaluating humansโ€™ impact on the planet over the past 500 years or so, that we should return to a consideration of allowing women to step forward with their nurturing, strong-willed, and wild natures ready to make great social change. It also makes sense that we would look to the Sacred Feminine found in so many indigenous cultures, whose wisdom can help us discover new ways to respect the Earth and to honor its abundance. #internationalwomensday2020 #thisisreclamationorganics
