Our dreams are a form of communication; to get our attention and for us to actively tend to them. Whether it’s a good dream or a bad one, our dreams want to tell us something we might not have listened to while we were awake. However, scary dreams tell us another thing. Maybe we haven’t tended to them in some way for lack of resources to understand, while also trying to escape the difficulty in our lives in various ways, whether that looks like imbibing social media, other addictions, and...

There have been multiple theories on how the patriarchy emerged in society and ultimately, we’ll never completely know as it predates written records. However, a Lithuanian archaeologist by the name of Marija Gimbutas theorized that in the...

As a holocaust survivor, Riane has witnessed both enormous violence, but also spiritual courage. It’s not the courage that we are thought to think of, but the courage to stand up against injustice under love. Her experiences led her to ask questions that we are all asking today: does it have to be this way? Especially when we have such an enormous capacity for caring, consciousness, and creativity.

How then do we acknowledge the mother wound? For Bethany, some of the first steps that a person can take are to reflect on the problems in one’s relationship with their mom.

The hardship makes the medicine—some of the new age movements make you feel guilty for going through something with some fundamentalist religions saying that you are being punished or it’s your bad karma for being sick.

In the pre-modern area whenever someone would get sick, people went to the priest and the illness was almost always considered as a kind of possession.

However, her writing became her intuitive channel as it opened her process and molded her 20s slowly as she...

What is the meaning of the “InnerGround Railroad”? One of the assumptions that Quanita makes in her book is that we are spiritual beings having human experiences and not the other way around. This means that everything that happens is in service to the spiritual beings, to us growing as spirits. That means that nothing is accidental and that the universe is exact and sends us exactly what our souls need to move to the next layer. If you are holding that as an assumption, you will begin to ask...
