YOU'RE INVITED TO A FREE CLASS: 

WATERING OUR ROOTS:  

redefining sovereignty, as the foundation of true interdependence.

instant replay access

We’ve been sold sovereignty as the key to personal freedom: leave the matrix, set boundaries, and “do what you want”. 

 
It sounds like, “I’ll be free when I finally get to live in an off-grid home” or “I’ll be free if I never go to the doctor’s again.” 
 
It shows up as “I don’t need anyone else to heal” and “it’s not sovereign to seek outside care.”

 

At the same time, we’re told that in order to be “good,” we need to follow the rules of the collective:
 
if you don’t behave according to the social norms, you’re harmful, “cancellable,” and called out.
 
If you don’t prove that you will put the collective needs before your own, you must not care. 
 
We live in a polarized culture of “either/or”, caught in a war between personal sovereignty, or the collective good.
 
Either (hyper) independence, or (destructive) collectivism.

 

What’s the secret third option? 

 


EMBODYING OUR INNATE SOVEREIGNTY, NOT IN OPPOSITION TO COMMUNITY, BUT AS THE FOUNDATION TO INTERDEPENDENCE.

 

When we dissolve the old ways of either/or, and create spaciousness from the wars on the inside of us…this is where we find freedom.

 

From this place, our own liberation becomes the fuel for collective change.
 
It’s time to rewrite the meaning of sovereignty, AND community. 
 
Together, we’re finding our own roots, and building a new paradigm in service to liberation.

WE'RE DISSOLVING THE EITHER/OR, AND ROOTING INTO LIBERATION

Here's what we'll explore in class:

Unpacking the Distortions of Sovereignty and Collectivism 

We'll look at what themes are emerging in the current culture, what has and hasn't been working in our orientations to what creates change, and unpack how the concepts of "sovereignty" and "community" have both been distorted in the reams of health, relationships, and our social movements.

Embodied Practice, Belief Work and Pattern Unwinding

Beneath our fears of being "bad" or wrong, and our desires to be "sovereign" or free, are often deep beliefs and patterns rooted in our primal experiences of safety, connection and belonging. Through embodied practice and belief work, we'll unwind some our our patterns, and experience what sovereignty can feel like in the body, as the foundation to interdependence.

Dreaming a Yin-Reverent Approach to Liberation

Whether it's in our relationships, our health journey, or our social movements, what actually creates a paradigm of liberation? We'll dream and practice a way forward that is "yin reverent," and grow our capacity to hold nuance and paradox in the body as we orient to the embodied inner authority that we need to meet our futures.

This is for you if you're ready to stop chasing liberation, and move from it instead.

 

Whether it's how you approach your health, navigate boundaries in your relationship, or relate to social movements, navigating the complexities of our time requires that we can root into sovereignty, so we can move in  connected relationship. 

When we end the wars on the inside of us, freedom is possible now. 

And from this place, we make change from the inside - out.

Welcome Love, I'm Qiddist.

I play many roles in my communities, including a teacher, women's health practitioner, medicine woman, non profit director, community member, and student of liberation. 

Mostly, I've spent much of my life trying to be good. 

Despite my biggest fears (of abandonment, identity and my own shame), I left the mainstream social justice space after a decade of social and political movement work, burnt out by cancel culture and group think... knowing there must be another way to do liberation work.

In my work supporting women cultivate coherence in their bodies and lives, I see the same themes reflected from our wider culture: the fear of being "bad," the struggle between the "me" and the "we," the pendulum between hyper-individualism and destructive collectivism. 

Sovereignty has been a cornerstone of my practice and my work -- but not in opposition to interdependence. 

In The Womb Room, we orient to embodying our sovereignty as the NECESSARY FOUNDATION to cultivating relationships, and creating the worlds in which we want to live. 

Together, Maura and I (see the picture above!) are bringing our friendship and backgrounds in social movement work, education, and women's spiritual development to this conversation, in service to our collective liberation.

We can't wait to meet you there.

WHAT OTHER WOMEN ARE SAYING:

"In the past I would have felt a hero or savior story that feeling peace in this current time would be bad or wrong as a priority…cultivating my internal union has made it possible for peace to be a true priority...and it has showed up in the ease of my intimate relationships. Thank you from the depths of me for changing my life. This work you share is liberatory and i feel so lucky to have landed here."

 
Karin

"I used to be so focused on trying to be a good person, I didn't realize that it was inhibiting me from accessing what was true  -- which is the place that I actually can liberation from in my relationships and the world.”
