FROM ISOLATION TO BELONGING

I could never have imagined it.

As a girl, ! was the target of exclusion, of girl cruelty. I was bullied a lot by the most popular girls.

If someone had told me then, that I would grow into a path where I work with (almost) only women, where thousands of women would gather and create deep, sacred bonds, under my guidance, I would not have believed it.

Yet since 2002, that’s exactly the journey I’ve been walking.

I discovered Sisterhood, not as a romanticized idea, but as a living, breathing heart space. A space where we learn every day. A space where we discover what Sisterhood is, everyday.

The kind of sisterhood born out of truth telling circles, ritual, tears, roars and laughter. The kind that sees you, your strengths, your hurt, your contradiction, your masks...and holds you anyway.

We are learning sisterhood together.

It is messy, yes... Because for so many centuries we believed that the other woman was our competition and rival. That she would stab your back.

But it is such a big lie... Yes, We get triggered, we project, we feel misunderstood, we get hurt, by others and by parts of ourselves we’d rather ignore.

But when we stay. When we choose inner reflection instead of blame, something alchemical happens.

We grow.

Year after year, I watched women step into sisterhood to witness and heal and rise, as a circle.

So many of us have believed the painful lie that women are naturally rivals: fighting for attention, fighting for success, fighting for scraps of belonging.

That lie is rooted in old hurt.

Yet over and over I hold space for something different to emerge: women who become each other’s most beautiful mirror and greatest support.

I have witnessed sisterhood succeed so many times...through vulnerability, through emotional honesty, through fierce healing.

This is not just the way forward. This is the way home.

Sisterhood is where we remember who we ar, and who we can become, together.

Yes, we still walk our own path.

We each carry our own wounds, our own shadows. Npbody can solve that for you, but we can be present for you. With love, compassion and safety.

Sisterhood is the living medicine, if we show up. If we stay. If we choose to reflect inwardly, not point outwardly.

Sisterhood is not about being the same.

Sisterhood is about holding each other’s difference with love.

It is about trusting that in the shared vulnerability, the deepest bond is born.

Sister, maybe you’re reading this and something aches in you. You long for truth and connection but fear that joining sisters means being compared again, hurt again, left out again.

Know this:

Your heart is calling you.

You don’t have to prove anything.

You don’t have to pretend to be okay.

You don't have to fit into anything

You are welcome, just the way you are!

You just have to be...in your light, and your shadow... In your joy and your pain, iwith your masks and you honesty...and let a circle of women carry you.

One by one.

One breath at a time.

This is real sisterhood.

This is the medicine.

This is the way forward.
