How I resolved the suffering of my "ADHD" by Understanding Biological Adaptation

Struggling with overwhelm, overstimulation, circular thoughts, distraction and restless seemed to take over my every day...these patterns are often labeled as "ADHD". When I oriented to the paradigm of biological adaptation through the lens of Germanic Healing, I had a big "aha" about these patterns, that shifted their expression for good.  In this solo episode I share about:  * my thoughts on ADHD and "neurodivergence" culture * my personal experience with ADHD and how my relationship with it was contributing to suffering and feeling at the effect of my own brain * The biological conflicts that actually cause the behavior patterns of forgetfulness and distraction, as well as restless and constant motion  * What "constellations" are in GNM and how they create behavioral changes * The core memories that unlocked the "why" behind my ADHD patterns  * The role of re-mothering, earth safety, and embodied expression in repatterning my brain  * Adaptive patterns as a divine gift, and why we might not want to resolve some of our adaptations  * Moving out of the good/bad paradigm and into spaciousness, curiosity and agency  * Attachment to our identities and labels and how they keep us small (and protected) Want to play and explore in a space with others orienting to our sacred biology and liberatory evolution?  JOIN US IN CHRYSALIS: [https://join.thewombroom.co/chrysalis1] Women's sacred biology and energetic alchemy -- transform from the inside out (enrollment closes on April 22 and will reopen in a year!)  Not ready for the deep dive but want to step into this world?

The earth doesn’t cancel, she eats: unpacking misogyny in women’s communities, hyper-independent sovereignty and destructive collectivism, and a "yin" approach to liberation

How many women do you know that have a fear (or an experience) of being kicked out of, ostracized from, or canceled by a community they're a part of? Whether it's part of a social justice movement or in an online spiritual community, we live in a time where people are easily disposable, and where we have little capacity for conflict, mess, or nuance. In this conversation, Maura and Qiddist talk about the energetics of what we're seeing in our in person and online communities, and pathways that move us out of the "either/or" paradigm of "sovereignty" vs the collective. We explore: * the disposability of people in our movements, cancel culture, and in women’s communities * How misogyny isn't just about women, it's about YIN energy, -- and what "yin reverence" means * Our cultural commitment to preference over truth * What our intolerance for conflict has to do with misogyny  * The connection between how we regard mess, and how we regard the earth * Why we don’t want people to come to The Womb Room for belonging * how the "sovereignty" movement and our collectivest culture seem different, but are often doing the same thing  * what sovereignty and interdependence can look like, together.  SAVE YOUR SPOT IN THE FREE CLASS: WATERING OUR ROOTS - REWRITING SOVEREIGNTY AND INTERDEPENDENCE [https://join.thewombroom.co/sovereignty]   JOIN THE WOMB ROOM COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP  [https://join.thewombroom.co/wrcommunity]   LEARN MORE ABOUT CHRYSALIS - ENROLLMENT CLOSES 4/22 [https://join.thewombroom.co/chrysalis1] DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

The Prayer is in the Pause: Discerning Reaction from Right Action in Our Liberation Movements with Alexandria Saleem

Alexandria Rema Saleem is a first generation Palestinian-American creatrix. (She's also a dear friend, Womb Room member, and mother of twins!) Her creative work activates from a place of multidimensional healing, to serve as a conduit of ancestral knowledge, collective consciousness, and communal desire. She works between the land, as a regenerative flower farmer, with sacred activism as the foundation of her artistic practice the interweaves through all of the seeds she plants. In this conversation, we explore: * How we access the internal spaciousness to discern right action when there is threat in our nervous systems * The language of “war,” “genocide,” and how we navigate our activations around language to find connection and relationship * Alexandria’s experience of being able to feel family members in Palestine she has never met, through her bodily experience of grief * Our quantum capacity to feel (grief, suffering, pain, joy, liberation), beyond the confines of time space * How grief connects us to our lineages * What it means to hold paradox in the body, and the ways that we use self-punishment, blame, or hopelessness as ways to get out of feeling * Letting our yin (emotional expression) resource our yang (discernment, direction, action) * Connection to land, food, family and the intergenerational alchemy as the lighthouses of liberation Alexandria is a multimedia performance artist, art director, and set designer whose practice is hybrid, incorporating dance, performance art, film, installation, happenings, and environment design. Her practice holds space for the intimate to become a window into the universal & cosmic; Inviting the collective experience to eclipse individual subjectivity and allow for an evolved empathetic process. She works with individuals, communities, and other creatives to reclaim our human right to have sacred spaces, through world building, dance, ritual, risk, and tenderness. She is co-director of the Center for study and preservation of Palestine, [https://www.instagram.com/cspp.pdx/?hl=en] Founding member of the Black Oregon Land Trust, [https://www.blackoregonlandtrust.org/] and Co-founder of SWANA Rose Culture [https://www.swanarosepdx.org/] and community center.  Some of her selected resources to share include: PFC Palestinian femminist Collective [https://palestinianfeministcollective.org/] US Campagin for Palestinian Rights [https://uscpr.org/] Palestinian Youth Movement [https://palestinianyouthmovement.com/] Alexandria's IG [https://www.instagram.com/zandi_i_i/] ___________ Join The Womb Room, where we are cultivating coherence, embodied sovereignty, and practicing interdependence  [https://asheliving.thrivecart.com/communitymembership/] DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
