Three decades ago, I was initiated through a Women’s Sweat Lodge Ceremony. During the lodge Mother Wolf came from the center stones and spoke to me. With Her large face coming nose to nose with mine - She said “Be Not Afraid. Be fully WOMAN”. And so the journey was sparked in me to “arrive” out of a life of male authority based living, and a rhythm that was so foreign to my own unique pulse. Diving deeply into Women’s, Teachings and Women's circles, finding the Feminine voice, and recognizing the Mother Goddess as She walks here on the Earth. I felt honest and freed up. My delight is in witnessing this contagious awakening as each one of us ignites our hearts in the Feminine Flame of Truth.

I have been blessed to meet teachers of the Women's Moon Mysteries. Teachings of the Maya and dreams of Lemuria brought me to Hawaii, as teachings of Huna brought me to the sacred touch of Lomilomi Bodywork Medicine, as sounding, singing to the bones, igniting the Heart Flame all came alive. I'm a Midwife to women supporting Gateway opening for a "Coming Home to Self'. I use the ancient power of chant and sound to access inner portals that became real and effective.

So now we gather Dear Sisters our attention is merging and peaking for the Listening of Gaia's Songs. For the gleaning of her Wisdom gifts - May we receive and grow in strength and deepen our compassion - May we sit and gestate, first LISTENING and may we act when it is time to act, as we speak the Truth of Her voice.

We are All Birthing through Great Mothers Womb!

My journey with the feminine has been a journey of coming home to myself – the animal of my body, the depth of my heart, and the grace and clarity of my mind. We have been taught that to be a woman is about being ‘nice’ and through the ages many of us have been wrapping ourselves into what society and man deemed safe. To return to the fullness of who we are – of who I am-  comes with grief and rage but also with great joy – expansive joy of full and rich expression of the power and potency of woman and of the feminine. 

I am a bridge-builder – whose lineage straddles two continents - Africa and Europe. I am a dancer whose coming home happened particularly through the intelligence of the dance – dancing my soul into the web of my body. My life’s work is to bring people – children, women and men home to themselves – to step fully into their gifts and their wholeness – to vibrate at their particular frequency of light. My work is rooted in Zimbabwe and I work with and from the Soul of Africa to enable people of this land to embrace who they are and what they have to bring to the world. I have a sense of the Feminine that breathes through the soil of this land being in a process of waking, slowly but surely. I see how, as she rises it may come with the grief and the rage, but also how through our work as midwives, releasing emotions and finding new ways of expression, the feminine of this land can find her way through to the Deep Joy of waking and expressing. The image I have when I feel the earth of Africa stir is of Woman rising unshackled.
