In these wild times, so many of us are seeking meaningful ways to engage with our emotions in generative, life-giving ways.
As women and female-bodied folks, we have commonly been socialized to dampen our intensity, our ferocity, our tenacity.
To sit in patriarchal spaces that center the power of a leader on a pedestal versus the power of the circle itself.
But what can a different way look and feel like?
In today's rich conversation with qi gong and martial arts teacher Jaye Marolla, we dig into these questions.
She shares about the practice she calls yin warriorship, what that means and can look like in a martial arts training space or in the world, and how needed it is.
And she also shares all about
- the practice of leading and teaching emergently
- how she crafts containers that are not "safe" but supported
- how intimacy and eroticism are woven into this work
- why she doesn't ascribe the the idea that trauma is the issue in our tissues (and what she sees this phenomena as instead)
- ways to explore your personal "yes" and "no"
- and more!
There is SO MUCH depth and wisdom in this conversation. I hope you love it.
