011 | Rites of Passage & Shamanic Womancraft with Jane Hardwicke Collings

Today’s guest on the Resonate Podcast is Jane Hardwicke Collings! It was such a privilege for us to have this conversation with her, especially since we have been following Jane’s work for so many years.  This is a must-listen for anyone who has daughters! Jane speaks on the importance of reclaiming our menstrual cycles in a culture that shames them and invites us to support our girls through their rites of passage. Jane shares her journey from being a nurse to training in midwifery and how her own births deepened her midwifery practice.   Going "to the pain" was a portal during the birth of her children, and experiencing altered states of consciousness and the interconnectedness of everything led to her life’s work of honouring women's cycles.  Rooted in earth-based spirituality, Jane expands on the seasons in life and the menstrual cycle, the menstrual cycle being a doorway into womanhood.  She also shares her wealth of knowledge through her amazing Spinning Wheels App, which helps to guide and connect you with the wisdom of your menstrual cycle, lunar cycle, earth seasons, and life cycles.  Jane carries on the lineage from Jeannine Parvati Baker and runs the international School of Shamanic Womancraft created in 2009. This conversation is rich in wisdom, and she encourages us to reclaim the wisdom of our cycles and the spiritual practice of menstruation, birth and all rites of passage.   With love, Eleanor and Emma Website: www.thereconnected.comFacebook: www.fb.com/thereconnectedInstagram: www.instagram.com/the_reconnectedTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@the_reconnectedPinterest: www.pinterest.com.au/the_reconnected/Twitter: www.twitter.com/the_reconnected
