I haven’t always felt safe in a room full of women.
I’m the youngest of four daughters. Make of that what you will.
Somewhere in growing up I learned that belonging came with conditions, that love wasn’t always unconditional, that sisterhood could be complicated. And so I kept myself smaller, more separate, more careful than I probably needed to be. I isolated. I stayed on the outside edges of groups of women because it felt safer than risking the inside.
This weekend changed something.
Maybe it was the way the container was held from the very beginning, a beautiful Reflector who created a space where every woman could simply be herself. Maybe it was the two days of being witnessed before I ever stood up to speak. Maybe it was both.
By the time I delivered my talk on Becoming the Elder, I wasn’t performing. I wasn’t managing my nerves or monitoring the room or hoping I was enough. I was just there. Fully myself. And I felt her standing right beside me, the Elder I’ve been walking toward, present in a way she hasn’t quite been before.
And then the Wildhood guided visualisation. Taking a room full of women on a journey to gather all the parts of themselves they’d set down along the way. I wasn’t prepared for what happened. The tears, the releases, women returning to themselves in real time right in front of me.
That’s the work. That’s why it matters.
If you’ve ever felt on the outside of sisterhood, I want you to know, the right room exists for you too.
