Episode 17: Rebirthing our Mature Feminine with Sarah Durham Wilson
“ When I say "unmothered" I mean you didn't have a connection to the earth, you didn't have a connection to the great mother goddess and you didn't have a healthy relationship to your own mother.”
-Sarah Durham Wilson, The Everything Belongs Podcast
Today on the Everything Belongs Podcast, Madison is in conversation with Sarah Durham Wilson. Sarah is the mother of the archetypal "Maiden to Mother" movement. She midwives women from the wounded, patriarchalized feminine across the bridge to the archetypal Mother, or Mature Feminine. Before her service to the Goddess, she was a rock journalist in New York City, beginning with an internship at Rolling Stone and culminating as an editor at Interview Magazine. Her soul work began with a witch awakening in 2011, which evolved into priestess work in 2015 and then into building the bridge from immature to mature feminine, which involves exorcising poisonous patriarchal patterning and resurrecting the ancient healing ways of the feminine wisdom. She's a Avalonian wisdom keeper, solo mother to a little girl and currently is working on a Maiden-to-Mother book for Sounds True. In this episode, Madison and Sarah discuss the remothering of the maiden within us and how our culture is infantilizing what the true maiden is. Sarah discusses what remothering in our time looks and feels like, and why this archetypal work is so important on our healing journeys. Listen in here...
