Patriarchy on Fire: A Waning Moon Ritual ~ Chris Maddox

by | May 2, 2018 | WILD WOMAN | 1 comment

As the Moon Wanes, she offers herself to us as inspiration to let go.

 

She’s asks: what is dying now?

 

With world events making it clear that the Patriarchy is being challenged both by its inherently flawed design and by those brave souls who dare to challenge it, our work/play as Wild Women is to be present to this process which is unfolding inside the container of our own beings, as we simultaneously participate in the collective process.

 

I crafted this personal Ritual for women who’d like to contribute their own precious attention to this transformation we are in. And for those who want some support with the intensity of feelings that seem to be rising more and more, particularly through the bodies of women. The more of us that are consciously processing, the more whole-hearted awareness we bring to the collective.

 

This is a multimedia Ritual in 13 movements. I include a talk by Tracee Ellis Ross & poetry by Rupi Kaur. The Intro is below & a downloadable PDF with guidance.

 

If you find it useful, please share it far and wide.
