Maiden To Mother

MAIDEN TO MOTHER

UNLOCKING OUR ARCHETYPAL JOURNEY INTO THE MATURE FEMININE

As a culture, we have forgotten how to honor rites of passage. One of the biggest transitions a woman goes through is from maiden to mother.

Sarah Durham Wilson, in her book Maiden to Mother: Unlocking our Archetypal Journey into the Mature Feminine, excavates these ancient rites, ushering women through a sacred and crucial initiation from the immature Maiden into the archetypal Mother- the powerful, safe, compassionate feminine life force that exists within us all.

Through personal stories, rituals, teachings and practices, Wilson helps us heal our inner Maiden and cross the threshold into full-bloom of our Mother phase of life.

In this journey, you will be guided by the story of the ancient Sumerian goddess Innana. Innana’s time in the underworld allowed her to face her shadows and emerge more integrated and empowered. As we travel beside her, we discover a map to our own inner strength and wholeness.

The Maiden to Mother movement explores the radical truth that MOTHER is not, as our culture proposes, where a woman’s power ends, but where it REALLY begins.

This is more than a book club

1. Together we will read the book, a chapter per month, and we will sit in circle to share our journey and be witnessed in our transformation.
2. You will be guided through each Threshold meditation while in circle.
3. We will have a ceremony, your rite of passage, your consciously stepping into the Mother Archetype. Even if you have been a mother for many years, many of us carry the mother wound. Wilson helps us heal the Mother Wound and dismantle our internalized patriarchy with its false, constricting standards for the feminine, so we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life.
4. We will not only read the book but this will be an embodied experience of this rite of passage
5. It is an initiation into wholeness and power.
