The dark feminine lies within all of us; she is the wild and erotic aspect of you, fully embodied & dripping in a sense of self-worth.
She is a woman rising from the soil. Savouring darkness, drinking every last drop of shadow like a mad devotee. Attuned to meaning, she’s an artist at core, weaving dreams and destiny into a life of living art. In full love and trust for her Eros, she breathes fire with a wide open heart.
She’s also the part of you who controls and manipulates - when she is not fully integrated she’s your most dangerous inner saboteur. When she’s welcomed home & embodied fully, she is your greatest advocate for the life of pleasure that is your birthright. Ultimately, she is the one in us that guides us into the deep descending path of Mystery. A woman of pure instinct, it is she who sees in the dark.
This immersion is devoted to the dark feminine; The priestess in all of us. The witch who may have been burnt but still blazes on within you. The unquenchable one.
An ode to all the women who were burnt, cancelled, silenced; for the female ancestors who came before us and walked on this sacred land of Ireland.
For the wise women who were hunted simply for being embodied, connected to the medicine of the land and unafraid of the power that laid between their legs.
A woman is a weapon of love and this immersion is an offering to support us re-membering our power. It works as an intervention, a place where hexes of domestication and its old scripts come to be gnawed by the teeth of the priestess.
A place where our hearts come to recognise that the feminine is the root of wisdom - so we root in to our embodied wisdom within, the instinctive wild animal of our body who simply knows, because she is at home in her body and in the world.
This is an embodied spell to break the hex that still plagues many minds of men and women. we gather in service to dispelling any untrue stories that we hold in our wombs and in our hearts. To be supported by the incredible, undeniable fierce beauty of Ireland. By the holy and the erotic
To return to our original feminine design. To our queendom within. To our womb. Remembering.
Wild Venus is here for you to take your erotic core into your own hands. It’s a permission slip to follow what truly makes your soul throb. There’s a place in each of us that doesn’t need to wait for the perfect circumstances to come and meet us, but which is self-sourced, indigenous to this wild earth.
This is what eros is - a constant dance of intimacy and arousal, through the embodied self, with everything around. To be living erotically is to be in a flow of reciprocity, a constant dance of intimacy and arousal, with everything around and inside. Eros interweaves us into life itself.
Through a deep internal posture of devotion we settle into the throne of our womb. We call upon the wild, dark muse within to guide us to the inner beloved. From this rooted and rising stance we alchemise old hexes of self-silencing, invisibility and choicelessness. We use their charge as fuel for remembering ever more deeply the woman in us who stands Her holy ground.
