Bonus: Winter in the Hive, Wisdom from the Bees17 Dec 202000:55:45

A few years ago we recorded a four part series on the wisdom the bees have to offer us each season. We love how these audios celebrate the life-death-life cycle, which Clarissa Pinkola Estes says is the essence of the Wild Woman. 

With the winter solstice coming in a couple weeks, we want to share our conversation on what the bees have to teach us about the restful energies of winter. 

In this episode you will learn about what honey bees are up to in the winter and the wisdom and inspiration this has to offer us about finding time to rest, cleaning out that which no longer serves us, and honoring your natural cycles.

This is our Book Club episode where we discuss a chapter from our current book choice: Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes. In this episode, we discuss chapter 9 "Homing: Returning to oneself”.

Summary:

This chapter focuses on the initiatory process of coming back to yourself when you feel lost in your life. It shows the process of returning home to your soul and finding fulfillment in your life. This chapter is for those of us who have stayed overlong in a situation. This could be a job, a relationship, a spiritual practice, or maybe just a particular formation or way of being in that situation. It’s for those of us who now feel dried out, lost, or unfulfilled. And it’s for those of us who feel the call to come back to ourselves, that strong pull that comes from inside saying “It’s time.”

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why seals are the perfect metaphor for the soul
  • How returning to yourself is a critical part of a fulfilling life
  • Practices you can do to help you find your true self again

Bonus: Autumn in the Hive, Wisdom from the Bees08 Oct 202000:53:44

Book Club: Joyous Body Talk (Ch. 7, Women Who Run With the Wolves)09 Sep 202001:07:54

This is our Book Club episode where we discuss a chapter from our current book choice: Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. In this episode, we discuss chapter 7 “Joyous Body: The Wild Flesh”.

Summary:

This chapter focuses on learning how to see your body through a lens of celebration and joy, instead of the body shame many of us were taught in our cultures of origin. It is for those of us who grew up in cultures that defined what a right body was, and where that definition was so narrow only a very few ever fit into it. It is for those of us who have worked tirelessly to try to force our bodies into being the right body, and are now exhausted from this work that never has an end. And it is for those of us who are ready for a new way, who want to move past body shame and into body celebration and joy.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How to see the body as a gift
  • How to break free from toxic cultural beliefs about the body
  • How to experience the body as a spiritual practice

Book Club: Long Term Relationships and the Phases of Love (Ch. 5, Women Who Run With the Wolves)01 Jul 202001:09:14

This is our Book Club episode where we discuss a chapter from our current book choice: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. In this episode, we discuss chapter 5 “Hunting: When the heart is a lonely hunter”.

Podcast Episode Summary:

This chapter is about understanding committed love, not as something where only pleasure is allowed, only good times, only increase, but where the Life-Death-Life cycle is honored. It is about understanding there are times of closeness, connection, and plenty and also times where you feel farther apart or where aspects of your relationship need to be released so something new can come into being.

In this reading Dr. Estes offers the story of "Skeleton Woman", and she analyzes how this story represents the phases of love in long term relationships. In the episode, Emma interviews Caitlin about her relationship, and Caitlin tells us personal stories about how each of the phases of love have been represented in her marriage.

We would love to know:

  • How does the theme of this chapter help you live with a full heart and a free voice?
  • What is one quote from this chapter that stood out to you that you would like to explore more?
  • What is one nugget you want to take away with you?

Book Club: Relationships and Union With the Other (Ch. 4, Women Who Run With the Wolves)20 May 202000:59:10

This is our Book Club episode where we discuss a chapter from our current book choice: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. In this episode, we discuss chapter 4 “The Mate: Union with the Other”.

Podcast Episode Summary:

This chapter focuses on how to identify relationships in your life that are nourishing to your wild self, whether romantic or platonic.  This chapter is also about the internal spiritual journey and learning how to unite to and love your own wild woman self. In this chapter Dr Estes features the story of “Manawee”, which is about a marriage proposal made out of love for the wild nature. In this episode we share personal stories from our journeys of uniting with our wildish natures and finding relationships that honor and love that part of us too.

We want to acknowledge that this story is gendered, talking about a male seeking female partners, but know that in story medicine each part of the story really represents energies in the world and archetypes that live within each of us. We’re studying this story through the lens of how a masculine energy might unite with a feminine energy both within ourselves and externally in relationships of all kinds, romantic or in friendships, and regardless of anyone’s gender identity. But we do also really appreciate the extra work our non-binary listeners do when you are presented with gendered language, and know that we appreciate you. In our episode we do our best to respect the full spectrum of gender identification and relationships.

We would love to know:

  • How does the theme of this chapter help you live with a full heart and a free voice?
  • What is one quote from this chapter that stood out to you that you would like to explore more?
  • What is one nugget you want to take away with you?

Life School: How to Trust Your Intuition (Ch. 3, Women Who Run With the Wolves)06 May 202000:34:36

This is our “Life School” episode where we take a theme from the chapter we are studying from our current book club selection, Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and we share a tool, practice, or exercise for how to work with that theme. This month we are studying Chapter 3: “Nosing Out the Facts: The Retrieval of Intuition as Initiation”. In this episode we demonstrate how to use an exercise to help you trust your intuition.

With this exercise you will explore a situation from the past where you knew your intuition was telling you which choice to make, and you either affirmed or denied your intuition. You will explore your relationship to your knowing and the results of the choice you made. The purpose of this exercise is to help you get to know how your intuition communicates with you, so you can trust it when you hear your intuition again in the future.

Try this at home: 

With this episode’s exercise you will answer the following questions to learn how to trust your intuition:

  • Describe a time in the past when you knew your intuition was speaking to you. This is an experience where you knew the choice to make, even if you couldn’t explain exactly how you knew.
  • What was your intuition telling you?
  • How did your body respond when you had this intuitive knowing? How did it feel?
  • What thoughts did you have that either affirmed or denied your intuitive knowing?
  • What did you do? Did you follow your intuition or did you make another choice?
  • What was the result? What happened?
  • If you did not follow your intuition, is there a more empowering thought you could have had that would have helped you affirm your knowing?
  • How have these questions helped you with your relationship to your intuition?

Book Club: The Retrieval of Intuition as Initiation (Ch. 3, Women Who Run With the Wolves)22 Apr 202001:07:44

This is our monthly Book Club episode, discussing a chapter from our current book choice: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

In this episode, we discuss chapter 3 “Nosing Out the Facts: The Retrieval of Intuition as Initiation”.

You can follow us on Instagram: @FullHeart_FreeVoice_Podcast 

You can sign up for the podcast newsletter here

Summary:

This chapter is for those of us who want to learn how to listen to our intuition and use it to make decisions in our lives. It’s for those of us who want to find fulfillment by being more of our True Selves, even if that goes against societal expectation.

In this chapter, Dr. Estes introduces us to an initiation about claiming a new understanding about our intuition, which you might also call your inner knowing. 

In Chapter 3 Dr. Estes shares the story, Vasalisa the Wise, who must complete 9 tasks to trust her own intuition. 

The tasks are:

#1 Allow the too good mother to die (Be willing to take risks and step into the unknown)

#2 Expose the crude shadow (See the tension between being yourself and appeasing external expectations)

#3 Navigate in the dark (Listen to your intuition to make decisions)

#4 Face the wild hag (See the power of your intuition and be able to stand both within the power and the non-ordinariness of it)

#5 Serve the non-rational (Do personal growth processes to cleanse the mind and clear it from anything blocking intuition)

#6 Separate this from that (Know what nourishment to bring into your life and what to let go of)

#7 Ask the mysteries (Seek wisdom from and about the numinous, and know what to ask about and what to let be a mystery)

#8 Stand on all fours (Claim the Soul Self; Claim the fire of your knowing)

#9 Recast the shadow (Let go of that which no longer serves)

We would love to know:

  • How did this chapter help you live with a full heart and a free voice?
  • What is one quote from this chapter that stood out to you that you would like to explore more?

In this episode you will learn about bees, plants, intuition, and the importance of taking action on the thing you are called to do. 

In the episode Caitlin mentions the democratic voting process bees engage in while swarming and deciding where to make their new home. She researched this further and wrote about in her blog titled “Spring in the Hive: Wisdom from the Bees to Your Inner Hive”.

Feeling the call to follow our own intuitions we have decided that instead of our original episode to offer you a guided meditation that Caitlin wrote several years ago inspired by her Honeybees called “The Inner Hive Meditation for Embracing Stillness”.

As a beekeeper the honeybee has been one of Caitlin’s greatest teachers and we felt that offering wisdom from nature’s ultimate Wild Woman Collective is the best medicine we can offer at this time. This meditation is all about embracing and preparing ourselves to thrive while in times of stillness just as the bees do in winter time in cold climates. This meditation is also about clearing out that which no longer serves us, so that we can connect more deeply with ourselves, our truth and our intuition, which is very much connected to the theme of chapter 2 “Stalking the Intruder: The Beginning Initiation”.

While you won’t hear Emma in this episode she is very much there in spirit and the creative genius behind the editing and sound of this and every episode!

Please know that regardless of whether you’ve had a chance to listen to the last episode or have read this chapter, this meditation is for everyone.

If you know someone who needs this meditation right now, we hope you’ll share it with them.

Book Club: Outing the Predator (Ch.2, Women Who Run With the Wolves)11 Mar 202001:08:28

This is our monthly Book Club episode where we discuss a chapter from our current book choice: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

Episode Summary:

Content Warning: Chapter 2 features the story of “Blue Beard”, which involves both abuse and violence. We share a synopsis of the story as it’s essential to the theme of this chapter, which is all about the initiation process of learning to listen to one’s intuition. We also share personal stories that may be difficult for some to hear.

In this episode, we explore the ways the initiation process of trusting intuition has shown up in our own lives and how we’ve begun to understand the ways that connecting with intuition can offer a path to personal freedom.

Life School: Dream Analysis and Fairy Tales (Ch. 1, Women Who Run With the Wolves)26 Feb 202000:33:18

This is our “Life School” episode where we take a theme from the chapter we are studying from our current book club selection, Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and we share a tool, practice, or exercise for how to work with that theme in a practical way. This month we are studying chapter 1: “The Howl: Resurrection of the Wild Woman”. 

In this episode we demonstrate how to use an adaptation of a Jungian dream interpretation technique as a more advanced form of “Story as Medicine” than what we presented in life school episode #2. We invite you to listen as we walk each other through this exercise and invite you to try the same exercise for yourself following the prompts below.

Try this at home: Dream Interpretation On Story

  1. Open up your book to the story of “La Loba" in chapter 1 and simply plop your finger down on a random sentence on the page.
  2. Pick out each of the objects in the sentence and for each object write down any personal associations you have with that object. Ask yourself:  What metaphorical significance does it hold for me? What images or memories arise?
  3. Now write out the sentence and replace the subject in that sentence with your personal associations.
  4. Read the sentence again and ask yourself: What motifs do you see in this sentence, and how is the motif showing up in your life or where does it *need* to show up in your life?
