Mari lives in her home county of Sligo with her partner ​writer Eugene​ O'Brien, and she works with the Celtic Wheel of the Year​, an ancient framework that invites us to live in deeper alignment with nature​, cyclical wisdom​ and the cycles of life. Her work centres on women’s relationship to power, wisdom and remembering who we truly are. ​The question she keeps returning to, and that runs through everything she does, is: how do we respond wisely and powerfully to the chaos and collapse of this time? In this conversation we cover a lot​...from Mari’s own personal story​ that is so powerful, to conversations around feminine and masculine energies, the impact of living under patriarchy​ and unlearning the 'good girl' conditioning, along with the different stages of womanhood. We also explore the magic of Friday the 13th, ​Síle's day and the ​Spring ​Equinox​. I adored this conversation and I hope you do too. The magic of Friday the 13th - 46 mins approx Síle's Day, Spring Equinox, the balance of the masculine and feminine - 1 hour 11 mins approx ​To connect with Mari : https://www.marikennedy.com/ ​Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/marikennedywisdom Hosted on Acast.
