Summary

An initiation into wholeness and power for any woman ready to live with authenticity, follow her own path, and feast on the richness of life

The bridge from Maiden to Mother has been broken。 When the goddess culture was stolen and buried, so too were women’s rites of passage, intuitive femininity, and access to their full power。

Now we live in a patriarchal society that infantilizes women, idolizing youthful traits such as beauty and innocence。 As many women desperately try to maintain these girlish qualities on the outside, they effectively remain girls on the inside, unable to mature into the Mother archetype。

With A Life of Her Own, Sarah Durham Wilson rebuilds the bridge that has broken, guiding women through a sacred, ancient, and crucial initiation into their full feminine power。

Becoming the Mother is every woman’s birthright—regardless of whether or not she raises children。 “The world needs its strong Mothers,” Wilson writes。 “Let’s gather ourselves and answer our own cries, for only then can we answer the cries of our world。”

Through personal stories, rituals, teachings, and practices, Wilson helps women of all ages heal the Mother Wound and dismantle their internalized patriarchy with its false, constricting standards for the feminine。 Then, working with the Heroine’s Journey and legendary goddesses such as Innana and Freya, she guides women back to wholeness。

Explore the radical truth that midlife is not, as our culture proposes, where a woman’s power ends—but where it really begins—with A Life of Her Own。

She closed her eyes and imagined herself at the end of her days as deep in Crone as they come, and then took a deep breath and felt the beauty inside pulled it up and out, felt it rise, then she looked in the mirror and sighed, "Gosh, I couldn't be more beautiful if I tried。THIS is the book I've been searching for。 A little background:Two years ago I left an extremely patriarchal, high demand christian religion。 Since then, I've desperately been seeking out the divine feminine in any way I c She closed her eyes and imagined herself at the end of her days as deep in Crone as they come, and then took a deep breath and felt the beauty inside pulled it up and out, felt it rise, then she looked in the mirror and sighed, "Gosh, I couldn't be more beautiful if I tried。THIS is the book I've been searching for。 A little background:Two years ago I left an extremely patriarchal, high demand christian religion。 Since then, I've desperately been seeking out the divine feminine in any way I can。 But something had always felt to be missing。 This book is what was missing!Wilson gives instruction on how to heal your maiden wounds and access and live in the Mother。 She teaches through stories, poems, meditations, journal prompts, and more。 The clear cut path of working towards Mother is so appreciated。 I will be purchasing this book when it's published and working through each of the prompts and assignments。The only reason I took one star away is for the stories included about healing cancer through joy。 I may just not be ready to accept that as a part of my own personal journey。 Having come from a religion that promoted speaking to a god, it was easy to believe that if my prayers weren't being answered that it was my fault。 I don't have room in my healing at the moment to believe fully in a being that is real and has the capability to heal physical wounds。 I can very much believe in synchronicities and intuition, but the physical healing halted me a bit。Overall, I'm truly looking forward to spending more time with this book when it is released!Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC 。。。more

I don't think I'll be ready for this journey for another decade or so, but for those who are, Wilson provides a variety of exercises and journal prompts to aid you through the transition。 I don't think I'll be ready for this journey for another decade or so, but for those who are, Wilson provides a variety of exercises and journal prompts to aid you through the transition。 。。。more
