Maiden to Mother

Unlocking Our Archetypal Journey into the Mature Feminine

De: Sarah Durham Wilson

Narrado por: Leslie Howard

When the goddess culture was stolen and buried, so too were women's rites of passage into our wild, intuitive femininity and maturity.

With Maiden to Mother, Sarah Durham Wilson excavates these ancient rites, guiding us through a sacred and crucial initiation from the immature Maiden into the archetypal Mother—the powerful, safe, compassionate, full-bloom feminine life force that exists within all of us.

Becoming the Mother is every woman's birthright—regardless of whether or not she raises children. The Mother is who we needed as a child, who we were meant to be in this life, and who the world needs us to be now.

Wilson teaches that while pre-patriarchal cultures honored women's natural cycles, today's society infantilizes women, idolizing youthful traits such as "pretty, pleasing, and polite" in order to keep us distracted and dependent.

In this journey, you will travel with Inanna—the ancient Sumerian goddess who ventured through the Underworld to meet her severed, dark sister and emerged fully integrated and empowered.

Wilson helps women heal the Mother Wound and dismantle our internalized patriarchy, so we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life.

This book touched me deeply

I had goosebumps many times while listening to it. The voice is amazing and, combined with the messages of the book, it called me to reconnect with myself in a way that I was longing for. Words cannot explain what I experienced while listening to it. This book is ‘alive’. I recommend it to all the women who want to remember of themselves, of the origins.

Lovely after pregnancy

Love this classic ! Especially after pregnancy . Favorite book to always come back to. Highly recommended

Loved this book

Beautifully written, inspiring and helps you walk a new path as archetypal mother. Loved her life story with steps and journal prompts to get to our true selves.

AMAZING BOOK

Every woman should read or listen to this story. It is life-changing!! I will lead my life in Mother.

Transformative!!

Maiden to Mother, a journey far overlooked and under-examined. The author did a marvelous job weaving together personal stories, female archetypes, and patterns in Nature to closely examine the steps every woman must take to leave her wounded maiden behind and fully embrace the Mother within.

If the story-telling wasn't beautiful enough, the narrator of this particular book captured it's spirit with so much passion. I couldn't stop listening to it! My heart was deeply moved with each chapter.

This is a book I will surely return to on my own journey. I recommend it for all women (and men) who are seeking, asking, & knocking. The doors will be opened. Namaste.

What a ride…

At first I was skeptical. Her voice sounded too…too…too something I didn’t like, believe, or enjoy. But, that faded quickly. As I dropped into the content, the potency of her stories married beautifully with her voice. Suddenly I heard her intentions and didn’t feel like I was being sold.

I broke down crying a few times. This is not for the faint of heart. If you are going through the indescribable, if life feels turn

Loved the embodying practices.

So vulnerable and deep in her shares of her personal stories. I loved how she included journal prompts and meditations. I was able to explore new depths of my inner mother.

A must read/ listen

For all those lonely and lost or recovery from burnout or abuse. This is a powerful and beautiful book to remind you, you are powerful and everything you need is within you! I love the stories, messages and exercises in this book. It truly helped me embrace my mother and new chapter in my life.

Excellent

Every woman should read this book. I wish I would have had this book years ago but at any age it gives clear understanding and guidance on the path of coming into and celebrating the feminine power. We can heal ourselves and in doing so heal the world.
Powerful and wonderful!

What a gem!

I am so happy I stumbled upon this book. The narration is absolutely beautiful. I love listening to this authors personal stories & and doing the reflection exercises she provided. I highly recommend diving into this!
