The Feminist's Guide to Getting Pregnant

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/08/30

On this episode a totally different guide to getting pregnant. From a feminist and fertile perspective, outside of the language of the patriarchy (which permeates the medical world), we discover we are fertile through and through. If you are struggling with fertility or infertility, this guide is not about going shopping or buying another supplement or class. This is about ideas. And ideas are free. And we are free to change our ideas. When we change our ideas about fertility, we increase our

2023/08/23

How to Find Yourself (how to make sense of losing...

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/08/03

Losing ourselves. Losing our identities. Feeling lost. These are normal (and powerful) parts of life for everyone. When we feel lost, we are desperate to "find ourselves." In fact, finding yourself is a huge pastime initiated in adolescence when kids are encouraged to go out and find out who they are, and continuing through every major life event. Patriarchy effects and defines the way we think about being lost--and being found. You probably haven't considered how patriarchy changes

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/07/27

Girls are raised to be nice women. But is "nice" what we want to aspire to? Is "nice" even possible? Who does "nice" serve? When we go into women-only spaces, we might have expectations, as I did, about what it will feel like. Wouldn't a women-only space be so loving and nurturing and..."nice?" Join host Samantha Wilde as she shares an adventure into women-only space that raises questions about expectations, perceptions and misperceptions, and what it

Finding Your Inner Teenager (The longing to belong)

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/07/19

Finding our inner teenager is about finding the people we belong to; it's about finding where we belong, who we belong to, and what language we speak. Our longing for a common shared language, a shared way of living and understanding life, is a deep and real longing inside each of us. Teenagers know this; but in those adolescent years, we lose our authentic desire for belonging and just try to "fit in." We can't find those who speak the same language until we find our own inner

The Quick, Easy Fix from Your Favorite Guru

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/07/13

Are you searching for the quick, easy fix? Feeling better, doing better or getting better in three easy steps? When we search for a teacher or a teaching, aren't we drawn in by the promises of speed and ease? The guru that everyone wants is the one who can teach us how to end our suffering or make more money or get what we want in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of effort. The quick, easy path that's sold to us is another product of the patriarchy. The feminist antidote

How to Heal (a feminist perspective)

2023/06/28

Lessons in how to heal from a feminist perspective. All of us are in search of healing and most of us have tried all different kinds of ways, practices, and methods to heal. But something is missing. Patriarchy, misogyny and hierarchy infuse our days and never bring healing. The feminist understanding of wholeness and human liberation, brought into the heart, brings us to a more complete experience of healing.

The Invisible Mother

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/06/21

How many mothers feel seen? How much of motherhood is seen? Acknowledged? The work mothers do exists in invisibility. From lack of maternity leave to lack of appropriate, affordable childcare, we know the work, the labor, of mothers is ignored into obscurity. The depths of the invisibility of mothers is a direct expression of our inability to hold the archetype of the Great Mother. We don't value mothers and we don't value The Mother. Seems inconsequential, perhaps, or of a small concern

Who is judging you?

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/06/14

Judgement. Criticism. Comparison. Envy. Jealousy. Shame. Nobody is immune to the voice of judgement, whether we hear it a lot or hear it a little. But WHO speaks that voice to us? Where did that voice come from? Another way to say this is that we all walk around with someone looking over our shoulder. The important thing is to figure out who that voice belongs to, where that judgmental gaze comes from. And, believe it or not, patriarchy has everything to do with the voice of judgement that all too

You Can't Have it All

2023/06/08

How many times have you been told, "You can have it all!" Can you have it all? Well, sure. If you want to burn out and feel like a failure! Did you ever consider that the myth of "having it all" is a creation of the patriarchy established to keep you exhausted and hating yourself? Just think about what "all" really means: good marriage, family, important job, time for self-care, healthy exercise, soul-activities, and on it goes. If you aren't able to "have it

Shame and Creativity

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/05/25

The huge success of Brene Brown's work about shame tells us all almost all we need to know about how shame rules our lives. But what happens when we seek to be truly, powerfully creative? The shame comes up. Shame and creativity wind around one another and the shame prevents us from living in our creativity. Feelings of shame and the drive to perfectionism will keep us from full expression--and full expression is a pathway to healing. It's important to know that the shame/perfectionism goal

The Mother's Day Lie

2023/05/18

At best Mother's Day is a cheerful, shallow celebration that ends with more cleaning for mother. But mostly, it's complicated, so far removed from its original purpose, and so far away from what it could be, that it leaves many feeling more empty, alone and even less appreciated than the day before. In this Mother's Day episode, dedicated to reflections on the meaning, possibility and mistakes of the day, you'll join Samantha Wilde in a journey towards what the day can, should and

2023/05/03

What do you listen to all day? Other people? The thoughts in your head? Social media? Your family? Most of us are never taught to listen for that inner voice and yet, listening to the deep, true voice inside of us is like pure fertilizer. And this is the season of fertilizer! How do we hear that voice? How do we learn to listen? And how do we obey when we hear it? In other words, how do we trust it? Patriarchy wants us tuned into one channel--a constant playing over and over of shame, guilt,

In this episode, a Fertile Feminist perspective on the topic of abundance, asking questions like having more of WHAT? How much is enough? Does my abundance improve anyone else's life?

Come back with me to my yoga teacher training, a month-long adventure of a life time that culminated in a wild drama of sex in the woods. Not ME, folks. This was someone else having sex in the woods. But that adventure brought to light all kinds of ideas about what we do and why, especially in the yoga and spiritual world. What's the standard that we hold ourselves to? What defines us? Our clothes, our marriages, our hobbies? Our moral code? In a culture field with infidelity and sexual abuse,

Are you living your best life?

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/04/13

All around we hear the imperative to find and live our "best life." Which seems like a pretty good idea, doesn't it? But when we take a look at it through a feminist and life-giving lens, we actually find the directive of patriarchy--that strict adherence to hierarchy, to either/or/ black and white thinking and a way of limiting ourselves. Having our "best life" may not even be what we want. How about having an "alive life?" How about letting go of better/best/worst
