Ep 25 Sacred Feminine Arts: Reclaiming The Sacred Grief Rites
In this episode of The Reclamation Hour, we explore the sacredness of grief and the ancient mysteries around it—how grief moves through our bodies, shapes our spiritual lives, and connects us to ancient traditions that understood grief as holy. We discuss the ways modern culture rushes grief, how capitalism has stripped away its sacred rituals, and why reclaiming grief through myth, ritual, and community is vital for healing. We explore: Why grief is sacred, necessary, and non-linear Ancient grief rituals like keening, lamentation, and how ritual support emotional release The impact of capitalism and productivity culture on how we grieve How ancient traditions and mysteries honored grief through The importance of community support in the grieving process How grief can become a spiritual initiation or awakening The spiral nature of grief and why quick healing isn't the goal Reclaiming grief as a path to deeper connection, reverence, and embodiment 🎧 Tune in to remember grief as a sacred rite—not something to fix, bypass, or rush.

Ep. 24 The Sacred Feminine is Political - WTF does that mean?
In this episode of The Reclamation Hour, we explore the intersection of sacred feminine spirituality and collective responsibility in today’s political and social landscape. We discuss the limits of individual self-care, the importance of embodiment, and why spiritual leaders—and communities—must stop bypassing and start participating. Because the sacred feminine asks us to center people, not borders, and to look into our shadows to understand how we’re unconciuosly upholding harmful systems. We explore: Why the sacred feminine is inherently political, embodied, and action-oriented The danger of neutrality in spiritual and wellness spaces How tarot, astrology, and ritual can help us engage with the present moment The role of shadow work in confronting privilege, violence, and internalized racism Why spiritual bypassing leads to disconnection, harm, and inaction The difference between personal care and collective care How therapy alone is insufficient for systemic change The need to bridge spirituality with real-world, embodied activism The discomfort of unlearning—and why it’s necessary How community, co-regulation, and historical context are essential for healing 🎧 Tune in to explore how reclaiming the sacred feminine means choosing truth, discomfort, and radical love over spiritual performance.
