What if the Divine is actually the resolution of trauma and the flow of a regulated nervous system?

What if making love with the Divine is living as fully human and fully divine, moving in and out of activation and deactivation, sympathetic and parasympathetic, nervous system states?

Making love with the Divine is making love with life – allowing life to move and express through us. It is embodying creative flow, following instinct and impulse, and body messages. Making love with the Divine is aliveness.

Reclaiming our sacred self, the sacredness of the mundane and ordinary, is a process through which we can access peace, contentment and meaning.

In experiencing the ecstatic and erotic we are able to create with joy and are energised. Love flows. Love is made. Love is shared.

Making Love with the Divine: Sacred, Ecstatic and Erotic Experiences is an online evergreen 'Experience to Share' course based on and an accompaniment to the workbook, published by Girl God Books.

This year-long course includes 2 videos and 12 audios which outline and discuss the content of each module, and demonstrate and facilitate activities and exercises from the book.

Having your own copy of the workbook is mandatory and essential before you begin. You may order a copy below if you don't have one already.

So, that was May : 8 nights in Glastonbury

Living with purpose : Educational Priestessing

Being accepted & featured in & Goddess Temple Teachings (pic 2) plus co-facilitating training (with Dr Lynne Sedgmore & my husband Dan ... more pics to come) for the Glastonbury local community & beyond, including to some of the Avalon Priestesses, permaculture/farm initiative & home school teachers, felt like a completion, a homecoming & a deeper anchoring of humanity into the heart chakra of the world.

May the profoundly spiritual act of being fully human ripple out into all spheres of society & support the creation of a humane & humanitarian humanity.

Deeply grateful & humbled by the welcome, willingness & acceptance we received.

I was super happy to be in the Avalon room @glastonburygoddesstemple room facilitating for 3 days during my time in #glastonbury last month

"Avalon, island to which Britain’s legendary king Arthur was conveyed for the healing of his wounds after his final battle. It is first mentioned in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia regum Britanniae (c. 1136), while the same author’s Vita Merlini (c. 1150) described it as “the island of apples [‘Insula pomorum’], called fortunate.” It was ruled by the enchantress Morgan le Fay and her eight sisters, all of them skilled in the healing arts.

Geoffrey may have been attempting to connect his “island of apples” with Celtic mythology’s traditions of an elysium; and the name Avalon is certainly close to the Welsh word for apple, afal. Sir John Rhys, however (Studies in the Arthurian Legend, 1891), preferred to link the name Avalon with that of Aballach, a (hypothetical) dark Celtic divinity. Avalon has been identified with Glastonbury in Somerset, and this may be connected with Celtic legends about an “isle of glass” inhabited by deceased heroes. It is equally likely to have been an attempt by the monks of Glastonbury to exploit the Arthurian legend for the benefit of their own community."

"The Isle of Avalon : Glastonbury has a long tradition of being ‘The Isle of Avalon’ where King Arthur went after his last battle. The monks of Glastonbury Abbey claimed to have found his grave in 1191.

Jesus is said to have come to Glastonbury as a boy, travelling here with Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph was a tin merchant and had travelled to England's south west for this valuable metal.

Legends of the Tor : It's said that beneath the hill there's a hidden cave through which you can pass into the fairy realm of Annwn. There dwells Gwyn ab Nudd, the lord of the Celtic underworld, with the Cauldron of Rebirth.

Later tradition has it that the Holy Grail lies here, brought by Jesus’ uncle, Joseph of Arimathea. The Cauldron and the Grail were both the object of quests for King Arthur and his knights."

​Radical Embodiment

Just realised I'm talking a lot about this & have never really fully defined it.

Radical = going to the root of something, revolutionary & progressive

Embodiment = situated in the world in the body, fully incarnate soul (#tangibledivinity), in the present, connected to the wisdom of the flesh (#fleshyknowing), processing in and through the body (#inandthrough)

Honouring the sacredness of ALL bodies : advocating for the safety of ALL bodies (#bodyfirst #bottomup)

I study, write, teach & live this - advocating for radical embodiment in education & academia, spirituality & religion, mental health & community settings.

Most recently facilitating in the heart of the heart chakra of the world - Glastonbury.

"Once again, Girl God books - and the courageous women who share what has been banished to the shadows, silenced, disparaged, and demonized - is a profoundly valuable gift to everyone who is being called to reintegrate our feminine receptive nature.
 
Pain Perspectives is a beautiful sharing of how the pain of existing in a heart-and-soul deprived patriarchal paradigm has been endured - and has contributed to women’s wisdom, gifts, and soul’s evolution.

A must read for anyone who has lived with pain, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Pretty much everyone. The women who traveled to the depths, transmuted their pain, garnered the wisdom, and rose to inspire others is an authentic depiction of the energy of the Goddess returning through each and every one of us. I recommend taking your time to receive each story in this book, as deeply as it was shared." 

-Mary Lane, author of Divine Nourishment & Meena

“When first approached to write an endorsement for this book I felt quietly confident. I have been a practitioner of Classical Chinese medicine and somatic therapies for forty years, and pain is my compassion language. I know pain in all its forms both professionally and personally. So, all good, right?

But the collection of essays, poems and art in this anthology is so visceral and on point that there was nothing easy about the read or the analysis. Chronic pain, institutionalized pain, cultural pain, all washing over us mentally, physically, and spiritually. All is beautifully explored and poignantly written here.

And while we are neurologically wired to retract from pain, I do believe we need to feel it, name it, and stare it down in order to move past it. This important anthology will help us all to do that. Read it and cherish the awakened sensations as you would with your tongue playing with a loose tooth. And then we get up tomorrow and do what needs to be done.”

-Gina Martin, author of the When She Wakes series

 A powerful collection of women speaking their truths, sharing openly, honestly and with raw vulnerability on the pain of the world manifesting in their own bodies. Women’s pain is not an isolated problem or issue. It is a reflection of the world we live in - a world built on a foundation of fear, greed and hierarchical power where every major institution miserably fails both women and children. The authors’ personal stories shed new and necessary perspectives on women’s pain that I’m sure any reader will find both inspiring and empowering."

-Trista Haggerty, Author of When the Dark Mother Calls.
