Masculine and Feminine with Marion Woodman

Written By Cristy

"Positive masculine energy is goal oriented and has the strength of purpose to move forward that goal. It disciplines itself to make the most of its gifts—physical, intellectual, spiritual—attempting to bring them into harmony. It comes to recognize its own individuality, and paradoxically the stronger it becomes the less rigid it becomes and the more flexible. It does not depend on old patterns of behavior, old habits, old traditions… It learns to hold perfect tension between a firm standpoint and the surrender to the creative feminine forces within. Its penetrating power inseminates and releases the creativity of the feminine."

"The feminine is a vast ocean of eternal Being. It was, is and shall be… It contains the potential seeds for life; it knows the laws of nature and exacts those laws with ruthless justice; it lives in the eternal Now. It has its own rythyms, slower than the masculine, meandering, moving in a spiral motion, seemingly turning back on itself, but inevitably attracted to the light… its attitude is always one of play because it loves life. It loves, and if the love is penetrated by the positive masculine, its energies are released to flow into life with a constant flow of new hope, new faith, new dimensions of love… always grounded in natural instincts… always on the side of life."

Hola, Piyali, Hello! I am a queer Latina Chicana mestiza ((detribalized Caxcan/ Iberian colonial) mother, storyteller and decolonial somatic psychotherapist licensed in California with fourteen years of clinical experience in the field of depth psychology. My private practice, Imaginal Therapy + Sacred Arts, centers soul care and offers ketamine journeys. I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University, Pacifica Graduate Institute and the Hakomi Institute of California. I specialize in intergenerational trauma, healing the family soul for personal and cultural transformation, and psychedelic/entheogen integration. I work with clients in a holistic approach to connect to collective wisdom through imagination, intuition, mindfulness, embodiment, dreamwork and creative expression. My treatment focus is on relationship, cultural wounds, trauma resolution, ancestral lineage repair, animist parenting, kinship ethics, and reconnecting to the sacred.

I am a certified Ancestral Lineage Healing practitioner and also an initiated serpent medicine keeper and priestess in sacred arts with 8 years of training. As a ritualist and coach, I offer virtual mentoring and circles globally. I am steeped in my traditions, mythology, cultura and roots, originally from the villages of Juchipila, Zac, Mexico, born and raised in Tongva lands, Los Angeles, residing on Nisenan land, Sacramento. My lineage gifts are in storytelling, dignity, sweetness, relating to the spirit magic of bee, deer, maize, and cacao. I have been given the medicine name, Cloud Serpent. I am honored to reclaim reverence for my mother mountain, Tlachialoyantepec, a sacred site. I hold a vow with my people to live the repair, in service of the anima, mundi, the world soul.
