Divine Feminine ￨ Divine Masculine

What does it mean to be feminine? What does it mean to be masculine? More importantly, what does it look like to be connected with our divine masculine and feminine? These polarities are present in all of us; sometimes we display balanced energy and other times we are completely out of whack. In order to address an unbalanced energy, we must first know what balance looks like. Sacred masculine energy looks nothing like the toxic masculinity we’ve come to recognize in patriarchal society. Similarly, sacred feminine energy is in direct opposition to the clinging, desperate energy we see in the unbalanced feminine. As we wander through the woods on this misty afternoon, get in touch with the energy within you, it’s time to meet the sacred!
