Pain Perspectives is an anthology that tells the stories of women's bodies and their experiences of chronic pain and illness. It also reveals the deep wisdom held within the suffering.The art, writing, and poetry from women around the world showcased in this book offers three clear messages. The first is that women are sick both metaphorically and physically. Lots of women. The second is that it is the patriarchal systems and structures in society are the origin of the sickness. Patriarchy hurts. The third is that the path of Goddess is both the medicine and the cure. Pleasure liberates.Read how Goddess and Goddess spirituality supports women to heal and find their voice, so that others may too.

Embodied Education is our vision for an educational paradigm based on wellbeing, co-regulation and creativity. We advocate for body-first, relational and embodied approaches in organisations and communities.We write this book as a neurotypical and neurodivergent, male and female partnership, offering a diverse yet complimentary compendium of ideas and experience. We endeavour to fuse masculine and feminine energetics and models of leadership, through a union of mind, body and heart led direction.Our aims are to support a shift in culture to an embodied, holistic model of learning, facilitating and sharing, by raising awareness, supporting curiosity and suggesting alternatives and solutions. We champion the creation of spaces which are trauma-informed and neurodivergent, sensory and nervous system friendly. We support, celebrate and encourage individuality, divergence and innovation, alongside exploration, discovery and imagination. We consider intuition, in addition to metacognition and critical thinking, to be a go to point of reference and above all else, we believe gut instinct has the final say.Who is this manual for?This manual is for:· Anyone who holds space, one-on-one or in a group setting.· Anywhere space holding, facilitation, education or learning takes place.· Anywhere information is exchanged.This includes (but isn't limited to) the following venues and arenas: schools, universities, youth work, teaching, home-schooling, unschooling, health and social care services, wellness, women's circles, men's groups, self-development, night classes, befriending services, charities, social justice, parenting, holistic health and therapeutic settings, religion and spiritual spaces.The information and approaches in this book can be used by an individual, a group or a whole organisation.

Crone is offering each and every single one of us an invitation to the individual and collective initiation of Wisdom Keeper, Visionary and Mentor - can you feel Her?Crone Goddess is insisting that every woman give sound to her voice, embody her power and play their part in extricating her from the patriarchal shadow and bind.The Crone Initiation is an anthology of women's experiences of perimenopause and menopause, and the part Goddess plays in this journey.
