10. Our Matrilineage: Raising Daughters + Community Building in these Times with Katherine

Enjoy this conversation with me and my friend Katherine on raising daughters, re-villaging and preserving the old ways and adding in the new, and knowing that our inherent nature of womanhood/motherhood is strength. Katherine also wrote a beautiful, poetic + dreamy book called “The Horned God: A Mythic Remembering”. You can find it here on Amazon.
In this episode we talk about:
– How things have shifted and evolved in Katherine + her daughter’s life until now (babyhood-4 years old), and her instinctive mothering approach
– Importance of being a regulated mother to support children in their emotions + unfolding
– How Katherine has been community-building lately
– The grief of knowing a village as our birthright, and not having it
– The inherent strength of women + mothers
– The magic witchy-ness of our own mothers
– How she builds seasonal cycles of ceremony/ritual into their lives
– Raising girls + boys in the “red tent” + the place of children there
– First moon healings + initiations
– Supporting our daughters through their girlhoods + into womanhood – in wildness, power, heart + strength
– Wild nature time for her daughter
– Envisioning the matriarchal communion, and utilizing mother-strength to move forward in these times
