Welcome to the This Sacred Life and the Divine Feminine Spotlight.  Every month I share transformational conversations with women who have learned to walk in beauty, with the strength, courage, and pleasure of reclaiming their feminine sovereignty. Women all over the world are rising up to have their voices heard and to be treated with respect. I like to give each of their voices a platform to speak their truth and inspire our listeners to do the same. Today it's my honor to introduce you to  Danielle Dulsky who amongst many things, is a midwife for helping us dig deep to access our holy wildness. She reminds us that we were all wild once. I first introduced you to Danielle during the Goddess Talk Sessions and again when she published her first book, Woman Most Wild (New World Library).  Danielle Dulsky is the author of The Holy Wild and Woman Most Wild. She is an artist, yoga teacher, energy worker, and founder of Living Mandala Yoga teacher training programs. She leads women’s circles, witchcraft workshops, and energy healing trainings and lives in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. Today we’ll be discussing Danielle’s new book, The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman The Holy Wild is the bible for the modern witch (female, male, or beyond the gender binary) who wants to deepen their spiritual power and embody magic at a new level. It is the book that can open up a previously timid or nervous person, who is afraid, yet excited about their energetic power. It is a guidebook for anyone who wants to look at their lives in a new way and reclaim the passionate vibrancy that our patriarchal culture may have stifled or tried to snuff out. The Holy Wild is a potent and powerful read… You can get a copy wherever books are sold. Show Notes: Your book is called The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman. How did you come up with this title? Who did you write this book for? What do you mean by the words “wild” and “untamed”? Could you give us an overview of the five elements, and how you made use of them in your book? You proudly call yourself a Witch. Can you explain what that means to you What if our listeners aren’t ready to identify as a Witch, but would like to invite more magick into their lives? Do you have any advice for them? A significant part of the book offers the reader a chance to write their own “verses” and stories. Why is this so important for their experience? Where can our listeners get a copy of The Holy Wild?

For many years, I could only the negative, shadow aspects of my journey as a teen. I carried buckets full of shame for far too long. Now I practice seeing both sides of the young woman I once was, instead of only the parts where I fell from grace. I give thanks for how resilient my inner teenager was and how far I’ve come on this imperfect journey. I invite you to create a beautiful altar honoring your inner teenager. All you need to do is find a picture of yourself as a teen and surround her with some sacred items on a special shelf, counter, desk, or mantle. Each time you pass by, give her some extra love and attention. Let her know that you see her and accept ALL of her just as she is/was.   Learn more about Shann and her sacred life and work at TransformationGoddess.com

This podcast is hosted by Shann Vander Leek, Transformation Goddess, producer, best-selling author, teacher, and wisdom keeper.When Women Circle Up We Can Heal Ourselves and Change the World.   Our technological umbilical cords and Online connections have contributed to the growth of an enormous virtual community for many women all over the world. I facilitate a couple of online groups and enjoy the interaction. However, what we need more of, is face-to-face, in person gatherings of friends and acquaintances sharing our struggles, sacred ceremonies, nourishment, and big hugs. We have so many responsibilities, and the roles that we play can often overshadow our true voice. I spend a lot of time running my small businesses, raising a daughter, nurturing a marriage, and being with my family and friends. Carving out time to join my soul sisters in a sacred circle, sweat lodge or drum circle is a sacred gift that transports me to a place where I can shed the masks I wear and the roles I play in the world. I circle up to actively listen and to be heard without judgment. I circle up to prepare and share a nourishing meal, offer a shoulder or ask for support.  When I sit in circle I learn about the joys and struggles of the women in my community. I practice being patient with personalities who trigger me. I practice being fully present. I learn to be sweet with myself and supportive of others. I remember that I am not alone. I remember that I am human. When I needed an energetic cord cutting to release of decades-old wounds and stories with my Dad, I circled up with my spiritual teacher and eight more beautiful souls, who held sacred space for me as I shared my truth and then let it go. This particular sacred circle was a precious gift from the Divine. Two months after our gathering, my father passed away. I realize now that being witnessed in circle and initiating a cord cutting ceremony prepared me to say goodbye. I am blessed to be immersed in the sacred work that allows me to celebrate my sisters, ask for support, cut energetic cords, and release old stories. Every time I gather with other women, I am grateful to experience a deep dive into the wisdom, power, and magic of the Divine Feminine through our sacred work. Do some research in your local community to find a women's circle. If you prefer to gather Online, you are welcome to join the Goddess Talk Sessions & This Sacred Life Private Facebook Group

My husband Thomas and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last October with a once in a lifetime trip to Costa Rica. I’m in awe of the respect, intimacy, love, and challenges we’ve experienced over the life of our partnership. I never dreamed I could be loved and love my husband as much as I do. Each day I see him in a new light. It still blows my mind that he chose me. To love and be loved unconditionally is a glorious gift.  Over the years Thomas and I have learned that there are 5 secrets to our successful marriage.   5 Secrets to a Successful Marriage 1. Demonstrate respect and loving kindness for each other. 2. Practice open and honest communication – including being fair when we are angry or have a disagreement – We will not open old wounds, yell, or try to throw each other into a shame pit when we make mistakes. We laugh at ourselves and each other a lot! 3. Walk through life side-by-side with plenty of time to be independent. 4. Practice replacing closed expectations with open invitations. 5. Make love notes and random acts of kindness a priority. My husband often leaves me notes by the coffee maker to wish me a good day.

When you read the words ‘walk in beauty’ what comes to mind for you? I’ve learned that walking in beauty is creating an intimate relationship with the goodness of all creation. I feel deep gratitude and respect for the Native American people who inspired my deeper curiosity about living in a beauty way. There are nine elements that contribute to the beauty way: awareness, prayer, stewardship for the Earth, creativity, sacred living, self-love, community, personal responsibility, and feminine sovereignty. In this fast-paced world, we can easily get lost in a sea of auto-pilot responsibilities and become blind to the crushing beauty all around us. We become out of balance with the natural rhythms of life when we try to push, control or go against the flow. Many women experience lives of quiet desperation because they believe they are trapped in the roles they play, and that these roles define their true feminine nature. They do not. I walk in beauty by standing in my authentic power and expressing my voice through my teachings, writing, mentoring, podcasting. My personal practice began after my daughter was born and was amplified during an intense Yoga teacher training experience. Practicing Yoga, Joy Spotting® and reading Shambhala Sun (cover to cover). Since then, I’ve been deepening my spiritual practice by circling up with wise women, exploring Shamanic teachings and practicing loving kindness. Today I will walk you through each of the nine sacred ways to walk in beauty. Each element comes with several questions for your consideration.Learn more about Shann and claim her free guided relaxation album for women who do too much at www.TransformationGoddess.com
