What is a Woman on the Edge?Women have been on the edge multi-tasking it for eons. The value of what women bring to the world continues to be undervalued and underrated. The relational thinking and nurturing heart of a woman has had to go underground to survive in the linear competitive thinking of a male dominated world. Many women have had to 'sell out' their female thinking to think like a man. The 'dominator'* thinking that has been running the world with its focus on the logic of 'at all costs the ends justify the means' thinking, is taking our world down the road of self-destruction. We are at a cross-road. This Woman is on the Edge of breaking free from the cultural conditioning that has defined my value and my place in the world. I am reclaiming my incredible survivor and thriver history. Other women have their unclaimed survivor and thriver history which needs to be reclaimed. This unclaimed wisdom is a power that has remained in hidden secret places of history as honorable mentions but not as a force that has changed the trajectory of human history multiple times. It is time we honor our collective wisdom and wake up from our collective unconscious sleep and face the world ready to co-create aliveness. Women on the Edge is about reclaiming our power to express our voices to help bring sanity into a world spinning out of control. Women on the Edge are about joining in Partnership with the men in our world to help make this happen. Women on the Edge are about coming from a place of Love and Response-ability rather than our fear-based intergenerational, cultural, family, and individual beliefs that are choking the life out of us keeping us stressed and reactive. Women on the Edge are about doing what we do naturally when we are not stressed out and running on empty: create and maintain relationships. To begin this process we must first create a healthier, more sane and love-based relationship with ourselves. One that does not support sacrificing our Divine essence by leaving ourselves off the list we have put everyone else on. When we are stressed it takes us out of relationship beginning with ourselves. When we are disconnected we can't feel or hear the Divine calling of our internal and intuitive wisdom. We become raging, critical, rigid creatures, fearfully fighting for what we have been conditioned to believe is our due. This takes us farther from ourselves and those we love. Women on the Edge brings together multiple disciplines including history, culture, spirituality, psychology, and body awareness. Women on the Edge creates a healing space to express and process the thoughts, feelings and experiences we have had to repress in order to put one foot in front of the other to get our daily tasks completed. By connecting to this state level emotional part of ourselves we become open to the Divine Love that lives within us all so we can open a channel from Spirit back to our Higher Source. This helps us see the lies of our conditioning, the lies we have been telling ourselves. Clearing those channels we find voices for our truth. We connect to our value not as a competitive one upped kind but a realistic value of who we are and what we have to offer a world wailing for Love and Understanding. Once we connect to this within ourselves then we can come from this place with others. This is not about being a doormat either; we have already been doing that. It is about speaking from our hearts authentically and transparently with our loved ones and those we interact with. This is about facing our fears of not being that little girl made of sugar and spice and everything nice. It is about being an authentic powerful force for Love. This process is not for the faint of heart. It is a courageous emotional journey to heal and release ourselves from the things that keep tripping us up in living the life we were born to live. Women on the Edge are on a Spiritual journey into reclaiming the heart and soul of who they are as well as a letting go of who they are not. I invite you to join me on islands of safety where we will travel this road together. Dare you accept the invitation?
