Beyond Initiation: Owning Your Sacred Practice

In this episode, Rikki sits down with Yocheved Sidof — trauma restorative mystic, teacher, and founder of Ohmek — for a rich and tender conversation about what it means to truly show up to the Mikvah with consciousness and intention. Together they explore the difference between transitions and thresholds, the sacred technology of witnessing versus gazing, and how women can move from initiation into ownership of their own practice. Yocheved also reflects on the unspoken arcs of a woman's life — from adolescence to perimenopause — and how ritual can hold all of it.
