Feral Goddess – Nurturing Creativity
When i came up with the name Feral Goddess just three years ago, I was trying to find my super hero name, and I felt like a sort of domestic goddess in all her glory, with what i had created since being on the super foods.
“Super Foods make Super Heroes” sayeth David Wolfe, and I totally agreed.
I felt like I was rising to my destiny to be this protector of innocence and purveyor of honest, down-to-earth ways to nurture ourselves, our children, our relationships with each other and with the God-Us.
I wanted to convey my unwillingness to cater to the conventional ideas. I wanted to show my unique expression via always choosing creative ways of doing the smaller things, like daily projects and the big-picture things, like how to co-create the family life / career you want. I want to provoke people to thinking critically about all aspects of what they have been taught by other people, and to start listening to the still, small Voice within.
"There is a voice that does not use words. Listen." (Rumi)
I know people need me in this town because I don’t find people like me very often. I hug them when I meet them, if I do meet them. I want to find more people like me – people interested in the things I am interested in, whether they know it yet or are just curious - and since I like to talk and teach, I can pass on the experience and resources I have accumulated throughout my extended youth.
I have come to realize that my journey is about creative nurturing, but that I have been afraid to command the public to consider giving more priority to self-nurturing, self-love, and co-creative relationships. I have not been bold about insisting that it is okay to give yourself what you need, when you need it; to want to be wildly in love with life, with your children, with your mate, with your calling. It’s okay to create boundaries, as love helps us outgrow those boundaries when we are ready. It’s okay to need cave time – we all thrive on cave time because this is when we can steal away to our prayer closets and be rejuvenated. We may not always have tools, though. So that’s where I come in. I will tell you that you can be selfish with your time – for a time – and I will teach you ways to use that time to EVOLVE who you are, nurturing the whole body – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. We just need to make different choices – both big and small-picture – with courage, confidence and conviction.
So I will make the contacts I need to make; talk to whom I am serendipitously juxtaposed, and just keep praying in my silent, trusting way… I am doing what I love for free, and I will continue to do so, because when the right idea lands in my head I will act on it and I will rock that with face-melters and everything.
