179. The Heroine’s Journey: The Descent to the Goddess

We reviewed the Heroine’s Journey that we talked about in Episode 60, and took it a little deeper today after exploring this beautiful methodology for a full week on a recent retreat in Greece. There are many steps on the Heroine’s Journey (see book by Maureen Murdock), but today we dive into the step called “Descent to the Goddess” and what this actually means. Our conversation processes the retreat and what we both learned, as well as the lessons of several women who attended. Today we discuss: How historically the feminine energy got pushed down, and that perhaps it is because the feminine energy holds power and creation whereas the masculine holds consciousness and awareness. We need them both but there is often a fear of power. However feminine power is not power over (as we are used to in our culture), but rather power within. How we worked with Goddess energy on retreat, and the many different forms of Goddess that include: the maiden, the mother, the warriors, the sage, the mystic, the queen, the lover. Why it is important to understand which feminine energies you resonate with, which energies you push away, and how it is often the energy we reject that we need to integrate most in our life. The power of intergenerational learning (which we had on retreat - 44 women ages 28-76), and the big lesson Betsy got from one of the youngest participants. A call to all women to own our inner feminine as a way to soothe, integrate and harmonize what is happening in humanity. The Heroine’s Journey is a book written by Dr. Maureen Murdock based on her understanding the feminine version of the Hero’s Journey as articulated by Jospeh Campbell in The Hero with A Thousand Faces.
