People will fight for the very system that tethered their own soul.
The politician who uses authoritarian politics
was once a three year old little boy being punished for wanting to choose.
The mother sending her daughter to a school where she’s being treated harshly
herself learnt at school to judge herself and believe she wasn’t enough.
The father standing up for the right to punish his three year old son when he has a tantrum
was once a three year old trying to express his own big feelings.
We are designed to pass on what we experience.
This is how culture is designed to be passed down.
And whilst this process works beautifully
in earth-honouring, elder-honouring, connected and compassionate cultures,
the same process is deeply painful in domination cultures.
When we go to use power-over our children
it’s likely that we’re connecting with our own deep powerlessness from our own childhood
and/or with beliefs that we internalised whilst growing up in a domination paradigm.
And whilst it’s not a walk in the park to change this cultural conditioning,
it is possible.
I’m passionate about supporting mothers in compassionately connecting with their own past experiences of powerlessness
and reclaiming their true sacred power.
Power that is power-with, rather than power-over.
I believe that at this time, mothers are being called to change the domination paradigm.
Our own internalised relationship with power-over and powerlessness, and how that plays out in our relationships with our children, is something we can bring loving attention to.
We can reclaim our sacred power and co-create a new culture, where our children don’t feel powerless and don’t go on to keep on recreating the domination paradigm.
