This week we feature Clementine and Astra of the Church of the Sacred Womb. This isn’t your grandmother’s church! Their mission is to bring unique ritual healing experiences to the community, to empower healers and sensitives to make a living with their gifts, and to reinstate a cultural value on sacredness through ceremony. The Womb structure is the commonality amongst all of their ceremonial work; a container that is a grounded, safe space in which to reimprint your deepest subconscious mind with ease and grace is considered their greatest honor to create and offer to the people.

Some of the topics we discuss:
* Why did Clementine and Astra decide to create a church? What does the name symbolize?

* The necessity of the sacred container in spiritual communities.

* Why is it important to be shadow aware and integrated in sacred work?

* What are key elements in creating a healthy spiritual community?

* How the tools of grounding, compassion and presence can prevent re-traumatizing people’s wounds.

* As a leader of a conscious community, integrity comes through communication, setting boundaries, being assertive, understanding needs.

* The beautiful journey of how the breaking down of our own will develops into trust and surrender to let the Divine lead us into something much more than we imagined.

* What’s the difference between 3D, 4D and 5D?

* Why is Clementine’s favorite quote: “The fruit is the last thing on the tree to grow?”

* The birthing of a new paradigm with the feminine and masculine energies.

* What’s a highly sensitive person? Are you one?

* Why are ritual and ceremony important in our modern time?

The Church of the Sacred Womb is part of a larger cultural revolution that is occurring around the use of sacred medicines, ceremonial healing, and ritual experiences to repattern the subconscious mind. In basic terms, they are a group of shamanic and energy healers based in Austin, TX who share a common goal of bringing magical and healing experiences to the people who seek them.
