She stood by the tomb
while the powers of death raged inside
and out
She aligned herself
with the oldest womb
the original one
that holds our bones
and the spark
She let love tear through her
rooting out every last place
that cowered from its presence
Her cells became stars
Her heart a black hole
turned inside out
He is the Earth given over to renewal
He is Sophia, conscious awake in every atom
He is her beloved,
and She, his
She is the heart broken open
She is joy and sorrow no bounds
pouring out
What might be possible
if she moved in us this way?
What could we do,
rooted in Sophia like a great oak,
a sheltering redwood,
a flowering apple?
This is Magdalene Medicine.
This is our work of the soul,
together and alone
bringing forward love
This is Magdalene medicine.
Join us this Wednesday July 31 in Berkeley for a potent but gentle ritual to connect with Sophia and open the grief channel to access our vitality and creativity as we move forward in this world with hearts broken open:
Embracing Sophia: Opening the Grief Channel
Open to all womxn.
