Expressing the Sacred Feminine with MiraMichelle

The rise of the feminine voice is accelerating on our planet. We are witnessing women stepping up to lead a new way of being and relating in relationship to all things. Some say it’s the divine or sacred feminine rising and this movement has great value to our world and collective healing. How can both men and women tap into the flow of this creative intelligence and force for good? Listen in as MiraMichelle and Dr. Julie muse into the topic.

[Click Here to Listen]

MiraMichelle was born to an English mother and an African-American/Native American Indian father, she was raised in two distinctly different cultures and this reality has given her a great ability to understand, appreciate and to assimilate with different cultures.

Her exploration of consciousness began at age 19 with an intensive 5 year training in meditation and energetic healing. She spent another five years in meditation training with the light head ascended master Yogananda Paramahansa, studied and practiced the ancient Goddess traditions and has been taught by a Native American Shaman and Chief of The Sun Dance Society. Rediscovering her Native American and Celtic ancestral lines played a major role in the empowerment of her healing and ceremonial abilities.

After traveling and experiencing different cultures Mira began to study anthropology. She is honored to be advised by author Gerhard Bott (Die Erfindung der Götter) in the cultures of the Matrifocal societies of the Paleolithic era.

Mira feels she is here to inspire the awakening of self-discovery and is a writer of the Sacred Female Rising booklet and the forecoming book ‘Sacred Ceremonies for Everyday – The Ancient Art of Ceremony Meets the Contemporary Science of the Quantum Age‘.

She is also a trained quantum shamanic healer and facilitator of ritual and ceremony with over 20 years experience. Mira has been a professional actress and an executive English coach.

Mira founded the Sacred Female Rising Institute in 2008 and has a B.A. degree in Communications and Psychology. sacredfemalerising.com

Imagine a world transformed by each of us taking personal responsibility for our lives, health, emotions, thoughts, words, and actions… even our suffering and healing. Imagine a world where we reestablish our personal sense of power and authority, where we become the leaders of our own lives, and stop looking outside of ourselves for direction, healing, instruction, and regulation. To BE the change we want to see in the world, we must LEAD the CHANGE we want to see in in our lives and the world!

Me Too: A Masculine Perspective with Remy Smith and Quincey Krull

The sexual harassment allegations against film giant Harvey Weinstein sparked an online movement, in which women used #MeToo on social media to express solidarity for the pervasive issue of sexual harassment and abuse. It also took the lid off of decades of secrecy and oppression in the work place. The stories women are telling are not new. What is the masculine perspective on the shadow that is surfacing and the allegations being made? What do men believe is acceptable or not? Join us for this important conversation.

Me Too: A Mother and Daughter Conversation to Elevate our Collective Healing Potential

The sexual harassment allegations against film giant Harvey Weinstein sparked an online movement, in which women used #MeToo on social media to express solidarity for the pervasive issue of sexual harassment and abuse. It also took the lid off of decades of secrecy and oppression in the work place. The stories women are telling are not new. And, as we are seeing, they are invasive in many “high profile” industries such as entertainment, media, politics, and sports. But what about the “low profile” stories? What about the women who don’t have the power to tell their stories and get help? Join us for this important conversation.
