S12E11 - WTF is the Feminine?

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

This energy, this force, this dimension that so many of us feel called to… but struggle to define.

It’s the missing piece, the thing we crave more of—yet, so many are also uncertain:

• Is the feminine harmful?
• Is it just some new-age fluff?
• And how do we navigate these gendered terms if we’re not about old-school binaries?

As an intersectional feminist, deeply committed to liberation for all bodies (including from gender norms) I’ve been in this contemplation, too. For years.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• The heart of the feminine: what it really is, how we find more of it

• How to access it responsibly.

• I’ll share how I stumbled into this work and why it’s so deeply personal for me.

• We’ll chat about the 3 books that shaped my explorations

• My own ancestral ‘feminine’ roots

• We’ll touch on why patriarchy has silenced the feminine

• How capitalist systems have commodified it and

• Why we need this force now more than ever.

The feminine is about the full spectrum of feeling, sensation, live-living-itself-ness.

So if you’re ready to explore the wild, the untamed, and the transformational energy of the feminine, this episode is for you.
