Welcome to Amy Anthony's Spotlight on Aromatherapy series featuring Cathy Skipper whose insights on embracing your unconscious to become your true self are thought provoking, exciting and empowering. Find yourself a quiet space for Cathy to guide you through the realms of alchemy, working with the unconscious and recognizing and reclaiming the feminine. When does a woman step into her true power? Why do we need initiation rites? Tune in to learn more. Following are only some of the insights Cathy shares during our conversation: Importance of liminality and transitions; navigating the edges. Perimenopause is a time, a developmental stage of a woman's life, a shamanic initiation. "To know yourself is without danger." How can one fully heal if one doesn't support the psyche and acknowledge the human isn't just a physical body? What does it take to know a plant...by realizing it is a soul-to-soul connection. "The analytical mind has a role as servant, not as master." "If we don't befriend the unconscious, it controls us." Cathy is an international teacher, plant person and healer who brings 30 years of teaching, healing, and plant experience, her highly-attuned intuition, and her mastery at ‘seeing the person within’ to all her work. "All my work is based on my own journey as a wounded healer. I coach and teach from a place of experience. I am totally familiar with navigating the unconscious realms, the ancestral realms, the plant and animal realms. I am a menopause midwife, helping women rebirth themselves as they go through the initiation of menopause into their wise-eldership." Sign up here to join her free Guided Journey on June 1, 2023.
