ancestral work

After a week off I'm back and with a real special conversation around ancestral healing with Mina Aidoo.  Tune into this conversation that sparked so many aha moment's and brings the real honest truth about how sometimes we need to go deeper in our healing through ancestral healing, the sexual healing journey as a whole and of course motherhood.  Come and catch the vibe with us! 

 " Hi I'm Mina, I am a Healer, Embodiment Coach, Artist, poet & trained professional dancer / choreographer. 
My story involves turning down a West End World Tour to find myself spiritually, drinking plant medicine, shaving my head, learning all about sacred sexuality, healing my mother wound, releasing a book of poetry and so much more.And my book ‘Inky Black Woman’ went to Number one on the Amazon African Literature Chart. I now teach Women & Femmes how to access the hidden power of their bodies so that they can heal trauma, reconnect to their sexuality & sensuality, reclaim their wildest desires and fully step into their pleasure and purpose."

What does it mean to be devoted to The Great Mystery? What possibilities are available when we allow ourselves to live in the cracks, in between worlds, in The Liminal? How do we work with the Trickster Priestess within?

In this highly magical episode, my collaborator Britten LaRue and I are joined by a dearly admired member of our community spaces - Nicole France-Coe. Nicole landed in an astrology course that Britten and I tended to last year, and this year, Nicole  will be joining us as part of the community support team for our upcoming course, Astrology as Praxis along with Jaclyn Skeans, who was the guest of Episode 23. This conversation is as unapologetically mystical, profound, and grounded as Nicole's presence is.

We discussed how Nicole found our spaces through a deep, intuitive call to learn astrology, how Nicole's life led them to the devotional path to The Great Mystery, and what she's learned about being living in the liminal as a mixed race, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent human. Nicole also spoke about her experience with astrology - trusting the stars to tell her who she is, working directly with the planets through her own embodied gnosis, and how astrology connects them to their ancestors. 

Nicole, Britten, and I had such a fun time during the point of the conversation where we collectively realized that Astrology as Praxis will be a year-long dance party with the planets. I'm excited for you to experience Nicole's magic with us in Astrology as Praxis. 

Here’s Nicole’s bio:

Nicole Providence France-Coe (she/they) is a devotee to Great Mystery and all Its beauty, pleasure, liminality, and dismantling power. She is more at home in the Unknown than the Binary and the Static. Being born onto Earth as a mixed race, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent human has provided the blood and bone blueprint for learning how to dance in the cracks.

Nicole relates deeply to the archetypal energy of the Trickster as well as the High Priestess and delights in wedding these two energies in her body and through her oracular offerings.

This fall, with her partner Dicky, they will be launching their business website, The Lion & the Lute. This space will hold their offerings in service to ancestral healing, oracular arts, handmade goods and flower essences.

In the meantime, you can reach Nicole at nicoleprovidence@gmail.com or IG @nicolefrancecoe.

In this episode, Nicole also mentioned the hypnosis session facilitated by Megan Frye of Healing Wave Hypnosis, The Lyceum - The Sacred Trust https://sacredtrust.org/workshops/pollen/ as well as Kathryn Solie's poisonous plant medicine class https://www.kathrynsolie.com/

Biography

I work as a Guide, Facilitator and Ceremonialist of Nature~based Wisdom, Cultural Healing and Soul Initiation.  I’m a Wilderness Rites of Passage Guide and Cultural Mentor supporting people to re~member Wholeness as part of the collective initiation I believe is needed at this time and as part of the journey towards knowing our belonging to the earth and the earth community.

I am also a qualified and experienced Yoga teacher, Meditation Instructor and Somatic Movement facilitator. My encounters with the other-than-human world and tracking the journey of soul inspire me to write creatively.  I have trained in the ways of Apache Scout and Shaman, Grandfather Stalking Wolf, and I’m involved with the 8 Shields UK as a Village Builder, organising and facilitating 8 Shields programs.

I believe in the power of ceremony, community and sitting in circle for deep healing and authentic connection. My passion is in  re~membering Wholeness and finding creative ways to explore that. My joy is in tending the hearth, the garden, being with the birds. the land and spending time nurturing deeply fulfilling friendships.
