Description
How many women do you know that have a fear (or an experience) of being kicked out of, ostracized from, or canceled by a community they're a part of? Whether it's part of a social justice movement or in an online spiritual community, we live in a time where people are easily disposable, and where we have little capacity for conflict, mess, or nuance. In this conversation, Maura and Qiddist talk about the energetics of what we're seeing in our in person and online communities, and pathways that move us out of the "either/or" paradigm of "sovereignty" vs the collective. We explore: the disposability of people in our movements, cancel culture, and in women’s communities How misogyny isn't just about women, it's about YIN energy, -- and what "yin reverence" means Our cultural commitment to preference over truth What our intolerance for conflict has to do with misogyny  The connection between how we regard mess, and how we regard the earth Why we don’t want people to come to The Womb Room for belonging how the "sovereignty" movement and our collectivest culture seem different, but are often doing the same thing  what sovereignty and interdependence can look like, together.  SAVE YOUR SPOT IN THE FREE CLASS: WATERING OUR ROOTS - REWRITING SOVEREIGNTY AND INTERDEPENDENCE   JOIN THE WOMB ROOM COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP    LEARN MORE ABOUT CHRYSALIS - ENROLLMENT CLOSES 4/22
