Happy Full Moon and welcome to your Full Moon ritual! Right now, the full moon is big, voluptuous, vibrant, and robust in the sky. Her force is summoning the waters of our subconscious up to the surface to be examined. This is a time where energy is heightened, psychic awareness is increased, and our dreams can be more vivid.

The lore and beliefs surrounding the full moon vary across different cultures and traditions. Throughout history, the full moon has often been associated with mysticism, magic, and various supernatural phenomena. A few common beliefs and explanations for why people may feel different during the full moon include increased energy, lunar influence on water, and symbolisms of illumination. Join us as we celebrate the full moon through the full moon ritual here at the Time of the Feminine.

Makhosi Himi Gogo Thule is a devoted sangoma, diviner, prayer warrior, and healer. Sangoma is a Zulu term for a seer who brings forth messages from their ancestors to help or serve their community. This gift is a calling & a responsibility rooted in indigenous cultural knowledge.
Makhosi’s work acts as a bridge into shamanic ceremonial traditions from her lived cultural experiences guided by the elevated ancestors of her lineages from Burkina Faso, South Africa, & Ancient Kemet. Her healing practice is rooted in ancient African cosmologies, initiations & spiritual traditions that elevate our consciousness to return harmony within our inner and outer nature. She walks the path of a wisdom keeper devoted to preserving and honoring the ancestral way of healing.
Makhosi details her initiation, where In the Ubungoma tradition is called Ukuthwasa and is a process of cleansing, releasing, death, and rebirth. Similar with the monk path, there are protocols throughout the day that need to be fulfilled, such as dressing up in certain colors, working with plant medicines and different cleanses, and doing prayers, dances, and songs of the tradition. This opens the dreaming tradition wherein you move through this process of cleansing that opens your dreams, lets you see your ancestors who give you instructions, and show you things about yourself that you need to see and understand in order to move on to the next phase of your life. There’s no final date; when you’re shown and the elders see that you’re seeing what you’re supposed to be seeing at that moment, then you pass through the next gate or space and graduate. However, for Makhosi, there’s no such thing as graduation and that life itself is an initiation.

So much of the stories we tell of who we are have been told by men who have a certain view of the inevitability of patriarchy as the only system that we know throughout the world, ascribing an inevitability about it that is inaccurate and untrue. 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 Paleolithic period when the Judeo-Christian patriarchy emerged, a group of Kurgans who are warring men came down from the steps of Russia. At a time of ecological and environmental movement, these primarily warring men came and enslaved people, women, children, marking the start of patriarchy. Marija was destroyed by this theory but was proven to be correct years later. For Elise, she sees that there’s a standard of perfection, especially for people like Marija. Men and women are constantly in debates about nature and culture, conflating the two and creating these ideas about what it truly means to be a man or a woman. With anthropologists, they can be either right or wrong about history but for Elise, we cannot move forward without having these conversations.

Elise Loehnen is an American author, editor, and content strategist, best known for her work as the Chief Content Officer at Goop, a wellness and lifestyle brand founded by Gwyneth Paltrow. Prior to joining Goop, Elise worked as a writer and editor for a variety of publications, including Glamour, Conde Nast Traveler, and Oprah.com. She has also authored several books, including The Juice Cleanse Reset Diet and The Joy of Doing Nothing. Loehnen is known for her expertise in the wellness and lifestyle space and has spoken on a variety of topics related to health, beauty, and personal development.

Elise’s new book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, is ready for pre-order and will be available by May 23, 2023.

What we discuss:

01:30 – Introducing Elise
02:43 – Freeing the Authentic Voice
04:25 – Fuck the Patriarchy?
06:48 – Has There Ever Been a Matriarchy?
08:14 – Elise’s Painful Initiation
14:53 – A Brief History in Patriarchy
22:39 – What are the Seven Deadly Sins?

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. Through her experience, humans were told that we are bad and that we must be rigidly controlled from the top; to instill a fear of God. We have not been told what to build to move to a more caring, sensitive, sustainable, and equitable place. Riane developed new categories through observation and research and what became clear is that for millennia, in our prehistory, humans’ cultural direction is in the direction of the configuration of the partnership system, such as gender partnership and gender equity which are important pillars and components of that partnership system. For Riane, we are now in a time of reclamation and a tipping point, but the issue is which way will it tip?

Riane Eisler, JD, PhD(h), is the recipient of many honors, such as the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award earlier given to the Dalai Lama, and internationally known for her groundbreaking contributions as a systems scientist, futurist, and cultural historian. She is author of many books, including The Chalice and the Blade, now in its 57th US printing and 27 foreign editions, The Real Wealth of Nations, hailed by Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu as "a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking," and Nurturing Our Humanity, Oxford University Press, 2019, co-authored with Douglas P. Fry.  

Eisler’s innovative whole-systems research offers new perspectives and practical tools for constructing a less violent, more egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable future. Eisler is President of the Center for Partnership Systems, which provides practical applications of her work, and Editor in Chief of the online Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies published at the University of Minnesota. She keynotes conferences worldwide, has taught at many universities, has written hundreds of articles and contributions to both scholarly and popular books, pioneered the application of human rights standards to women and children, has addressed the UN General Assembly, and consults to businesses and governments on the partnership model introduced by her work.

The reputation that fairytales have received over the past years precedes itself, which is precisely what made Michelle fall in love with it. She loved the rich imaginary of it all and as she started to also tell more and more of these fairytales, she found her voice changing and herself moving into this interior landscape that was rich in imagery and in human experience. So many of these stories start with wounds, descents, and struggles, like reflective mirrors where she could see her experience in these stories. As she delved deeper into fairytale, the morse she realized that all around the world, people have told these kinds of stories and that there are similar patterns across countries and continents. These stories are all coming out of a human experience; we are all part of one human experience and these stories precisely reflect our shared human experiences.

Michelle Tocher has been writing and telling warm, poignant, and humane stories often from a woman’s perspective. She is the author of the celebrated book “How to Ride a Dragon: Women With Breast Cancer Tell Their Stories”. She has recently published the lauded “The Tower Princess” as well as her new play “The Departure Train”. She has had a long career in communications and storytelling as President of Creative Premises Ltd., a 10-year Toronto-based health communications company. She produced books and films for many organizations and community leaders, including The Canadian Pediatric Society, the Canadian Career Development Foundation, and the Women Scientists of Waterloo.

How does one apply the feminine intelligence and feminine wisdom to the area of business and the cycles and seasons? It starts with coming home to self and understanding your own cycle. Whether you’re bleeding or not, whether you’re in touch with the lunar cycles or not, we can’t escape what is innate within nature. If we are always living on the cycle of the masculine business structure like the 9-5, which is based on the testosterone cycle, and when it comes to allowing nature to be in business especially for entrepreneurs, Kate asks, “How is your cycle moving through your business?”. Your business is always reflecting your energy and your healing. If we are faced with our cycle in a time where we need more rest but the 9-5 is telling us get up and get to work by 8 and come home by 6 PM, the first thing that Kate would change is how we work with our time and our cycle moving with your flow.

Kate Murphy is a Canadian entrepreneur, founder of The Feminine Code, Co-Founder and former CEO of The Play Magnus Group, Investor, Business Advisor as well as an Initiated Priestess. Kate’s work is focused on raising the feminine - both through the path of the priestess and through business. She works with women and entrepreneurs around the world to both start-up and scale-up by combining the sacred with strategy. As an entrepreneur at heart, at the age of 23, Kate co-founded Canada’s largest national dance convention, iDance, while earning both her BBA and MBA between Canada and France. As a priestess, she walks the path of priestess with women in her 1:1 mentorship containers as well. Over the last 16 years, she has also been deeply immersed in her spiritual path, which began in the yogic traditions and eventually led her to the path of her Celtic heritage as a priestess. Her passions are on both sides of the spectrum: the power of masculine strategy and the mysticism of divine feminine wisdom. It is her life's work to help guide and weave the feminine and masculine together, in business and inner worlds.

There has been a real lack of clarity when it comes to solving the great conundrums of the climate crisis, as well as a growing sense of climate nihilism all around. However, all hope is not lost. Justin believes in collective action against the climate crisis, which is why she founded One Earth, which is all about coming together as a collective for climate action as well as being a space with the tools to support collective action for the Earth and for each other. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or the IPCC, the three pillars solutions framework to solve the climate crisis are 1) a transition to 100% renewable energy, 2) protection, connection, and restoration 50% of the world’s land and oceans, and 3) a transition of our food systems to regenerative agriculture. Having this knowledge as well as the drive to encourage collective action is what Justin believes can help One Earth achieve its goals as well as for the betterment of our climate conditions.

Justin Winters is dedicated to ensuring the long-term health and well-being of all Earth’s inhabitants by building climate resiliency, protecting wildlife and restoring balance to ecosystems and communities. For the past 15 years, she’s worked to accelerate grassroots environmental efforts through cutting-edge philanthropic mechanisms and strategic communications work.

She is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of One Earth, an organization working to galvanize science, advocacy and philanthropy to drive collective action on climate change. Through One Earth, she has pioneered a new approach to climate philanthropy by democratizing access to innovative and impactful climate solution projects around the world, enabling donors at all levels to contribute directly to communities and grassroots leaders who are driving change from the ground up.

Widely recognized as a thought leader in innovative and effective philanthropy, Justin and her work have been featured by Forbes, Inside Philanthropy and The Garrison Institute, and she has spoken at numerous high-profile convenings such as Web Summit, Climate Week NYC, SXSW, and Bioneers.
