ALisa Starkweather, visionary and facilitator, devoted four decades + to the work of the Sacred Feminine and women’s transformative leadership. She founded in 1998 her women’s mystery school, Priestess Path, the Women’s Belly and Womb conferences, Daughters of the Earth Gatherings, the global grassroots Red Tent (Temple) Movement and co-founded Women in Power initiations, uplifting the fierce feminine to confront predator energy through Shadow Work. Much of her work was purposefully undocumented for women to meet mystery in her containers, yet her influence is in the roots of much that grew from her devotion and those in her communities who gave immense lifeforce for our palpable rise.

Author Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD is an advocate for intuition and rematriation. She met yoga in 1969, at the age of four, and fell in love. She’s been practicing ever since, sharing cyclical, therapeutic yoga since 1994. Co-Founder of the Yoga Nidra Network, she also trains specialist teachers in Total Yoga Nidra and Yoni Shakti Yoga Therapy for menstrual and menopausal health, pregnancy, birth, and postnatal recovery.
Uma has written six books, including Nidra Shakti: the Power of Rest - An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Yoga Nidra and Yoni Shakti: A Woman's Guide to Power and Freedom through Yoga and Tantra.
Recovering intuitive embodied and cyclical wisdom is at the heart of her writing and her approach to yoga therapy.
Uma’s passion as a writer and as a teacher is to transmit clarity of awareness, creativity and profound vitality. She identifies these teachings as radical acts of rematriation, rooted in intuitive arts and in yoga tantra, drawing on a variety of yogic traditions to share deeply nourishing and enlivening practices appropriate for contemporary life.

We talked about:
Life force energy and the death cult of patriarchy
Unlearning being a good girl
The impact of the witch burnings.
The connection between the colonisation of land and our bodies
Reclaiming our intuition
How and why she developed yoga practices that centred female bodies
The importance of understanding that the System isn’t personal
The transformative experience of home birthing her children
How she’s navigating current times creatively

About the Book
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - a dark, thrilling and unputdownable novel about our obsession with the internet
'The Circle is 'Brave New World' for our brave new world... Fast, witty and troubling' Washington Post
When Mae is hired to work for the Circle, the world's most powerful internet company, she feels she's been given the opportunity of a lifetime. Run out of a sprawling California campus, the Circle links users' personal emails, social media, and finances with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of transparency. Mae can't believe her great fortune to work for them - even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public ...

Dee Mulrooney is a multi-disciplinary Irish artist. Inhabiting a female body and all that it entails is the main preoccupation of her work. Exile, class, displacement, social history, longing and belonging are some of the themes explored by Dee, through various media, including painting, drawing, film, storytelling, and performance. Her art is fiercely authentic, and she leaves no stone of her own personal healing journey unturned. Dee works with the alchemical aspect of transmutation in her art, using this process to deal with difficult topics, including, abuse, death and loss. Dee’s performance art is provocative and has a political point to make, highly social, collaborative and community building. She is driven by story and symbolism, how we remember and interpret history and women’s role and their bodies within that. She exhibits and performs regularly and had an award-winning show at Edinburgh Fringe 2023.
