As we conclude our journey through the thirteen keys for self-reconnection and balance, Ceryn invites you to consider those ideas of Human and Soul, and what they really mean. All too often in these spiritually-focussed circles, we see our human selves being diminished and painted as less than the soulful side of us; but the truth is that both are vital. It is only within the synergy of the two that we are able to find a true sense of the sacred in ourselves and our lives. But how do we do that? The answer to that might just come in the form of our 13th key, grounding. Dive in while we expl ..read more

This month's episode of the Divine Feminist is a special one, as Ceryn talks with Laura Bates about her work and experiences to date. Founder of The Everyday Sexism Project and author of eight books to date, Laura is involved with a number of programmes and campaigns that demand real change from those at the very top of our societies, and works in schools across the UK and beyond to educate young people about sexism, consent and sexual violence. Her latest book, No Accident, is the second of her fictional works and, though aimed at young adults, provides a powerful and important perspective ..read more

As we move onto the twelfth of our thirteen keys for self connection and sacred balance, Ceryn invites you to journey with the ideas of outcome and possibility. We live in a world that so often wants us to focus on outcomes; definitive outcomes that can be objectively glasses as "good" or "successful". And there are definitely times when such a clear focus is useful or even necessary. But how often does that mindset rob us of possibility, and of all that can unfold if we allow ourselves to step into the unknown. What is the key to moving into that place of possibility? Ceryn calls it beauty ..read more

As we move on to the eleventh of our thirteen keys for self connection and sacred balance, Ceryn invites you to journey with her as she faces one of the scariest topics of all: Death. But how would our relationship with that concept - and equally with the ideas of life, birth and rebirth - be if we had been raised in a world that focussed more on the yin side of life? A world that taught us life was a cyclical rather than a linear process. The key to doing that? To breaking out of the linear A to B idea of life and moving instead into a place of true cyclical living? Wildness. And the courag ..read more

As we continue our journey through the thirteen keys to sacred balance and self re-connection, we come back to that very idea of connection and, in particular, what that means when it comes to ourselves. We are all multi-faceted beings; different voices within us bringing their thoughts, hopes and fears to the table, while the fact that we exhibit different aspects of ourselves in different situations is perfectly natural and even wise rather than a sign that we're somehow inauthentic. Join Ceryn for a discussion of all of this and more as she invites you to consider the key of connection, a ..read more

As we continue our journey through the thirteen keys for sacred balance and self-reconnection, Ceryn invites you to consider the idea of boundaries - what they are and how we set them. Boundaries are something we hear a lot about in today's world, and even more so as we walk this path of Divine Feminism and realise that, for all of patriarchy's work to steer us away from boundaries, neither we nor the planet can sustain the constant drive to take without limit. But for so many of us, the very term is something we've never been taught, and one we need to truly deep dive with in order to under ..read more

It sounds like a contradiction doesn't it? Yet as we journey with allowing, the eighth key to self-reconnection and sacred balance, that's exactly where we find ourselves.  We live in a world of action, shoulds and to-do lists; one that will tell us that doing is the only way to be. But of course we know that's not the case, that the true sense of being is much more flowing; is something that leaves room for rest, for magic, and for someone else to take the reins.  The key to getting there? Allowing. Allowing ourselves to both take control over what is right for us, and relinquish ..read more

When it comes to these thirteen keys to self-connection and alignment, pleasure is perhaps the one that has had the most myths built around it by patriarchy.  Yet to reclaim pleasure on our own terms is to reclaim our power, and so much more besides.  So what does that involve? And how do we work out what the word even means for us?  Join Ceryn to dive into the idea of pleasure; the myths and lies we've been sold about it, how its reclamation can benefit us, and where we begin on our own journey back to that concept.  Episode notes  Are you ready to dive more deep ..read more

Do you trust yourself? Every part of yourself? We live in a society that's all too keen to detatch us from the wisdom within us, and in doing so to leave us thoroughly distrusting from ourselves. But that's a dangerous place to be. Not only because we find it ever more challenging to hear and listen to what's truly right for us, but also because it leaves us constantly searching outside of ourselves rather than turning to the only person who ca ever give us true validation. Inspired by Joan of Arc's quote "I'm not afraid, I was born to do this", Ceryn turns a lens on the idea of self trust ..read more

As we continue to work through the thirteen keys to self-connection and sacred balance, we come to key six, responsibility. And with it, we remember the words of Spiderman's Uncle Ben: "with true power comes true responsibility." Because that's precisely where responsibility becomes so important; at a time that increasingly asks and invites us to step into our power, the key to doing that appropriately is in owning that power responsibly. But what does that mean? And how can we be sure that we will use our own power responsibly in a world that gives us so many examples of the opposite? Join ..read more
