HEALING MOTHER WATERS
“Water feels vibration… Water retains memory… water has a consciousness…”
We are not separate from nature… We are nature… We are only atoms of this Earth ! Our bodies are made up of 60-70% water, and this water absorbs all of the thoughts, feelings and emotions we experience. Knowing this, we understand the need to heal and transform any discordant or destructive energies in our bodies, minds, spirits & souls that no longer serves our highest purpose.
As women it is even more imperative, because women hold all of the eggs in their bodies for all of the future generations ! And these watery eggs absorb all of the energy, emotions and experiences women have lived during their lifetime… If we wonder why there is so much trauma in the world - then we need not look further than how women are treated on this planet.
You will be reminded that you are your greatest healer, you are your greatest doctor and your greatest medicine. Healing oneself is not a selfish act, for when we heal ourselves, we help heal the generations before us and the generations yet to come. Individual healing can also be the collective healing we need in the world today.
I am honored to have witnessed so much profound healing over the years, and am committed to helping others remember how to heal themselves. We will share how trauma sits in the body, mind, spirit and soul, and you will be offered simple practices you can do on your own, to heal, transform and transmute any destructive energies for your continued healing and evolution.
We don’t always need the help of a heroic psychedelic journey, medicine ceremony or even microdosing plant medicines… Self-awareness and self-reflection are so important when looking at what aspects of our minds, bodies, spirits and souls need healing. Asking ourselves what negative behavioral patterns may be repeating in us… what is the quality of our thoughts and emotions ? And how has our life history and any ancestral trauma affected us ? What past memories do we dwell upon and how much energy do we spend worrying about the future ? Both keep us distracted and unable to live in the present moment.
When we transform and transmute any discordant and destructive energies that may be preventing us from living in our highest authentic being, then we heal and liberate ourselves to be fully present for this great gift of life we are given, and for some women the gift of life they then bestow upon their children.
ABOUT ERIKA GAGNON
Erika Gagnon is a Canadian ceremonial leader, wisdom keeper & healer, who helps others remember how to heal themselves. She honors all of the ancestors of her multi-racial heritage, but does not identify as First Nations - The wisdom and ceremonies she carries come from her 30 year walk on the Red Road and medicine path.
Erika has dedicated over half her life to working with Indigenous elders from North and South America in Mexico, Ecuador, Peru and the United States of America, and with their ancestral ceremonies, medicinal plants and altars. She is honored to have received their blessings to continue their traditions with honor, dignity and respect, and leads temazcal (sweat lodge), tobacco, water blessing, other healing ceremonies and personal healing sessions.
Erika is often asked if she is a medicine woman or a shaman… Her reply? "The term 'medicine woman' is extremely overused these days, and a 'shaman' is a specific healing lineage from Mongolia and Siberia - I also believe that a healer does not heal others, but helps others remember how to heal themselves." She is dedicating her life to help others, and believes that individual healing can also be the collective healing we need on this planet during these times.
What Is the Eldership Series?
In an increasingly digitized world moving further from nature, ceremony, and embodied wisdom, we're creating space for something different: direct transmission from women who've spent decades in study and service.
The Eldership Series brings you 2-hour workshops with Elder women - teachers who are often difficult to access. We feel that "freebie" culture comes at a price to those holding true knowledge and wisdom that has taken a lifetime to cultivate, which is why we firmly believe in an accessable but honest exchange. These aren't podcasts or casual conversations, they're classes requiring hours and hours of planning and many tecnological platforms working together to bring you the experience. ELDERSHIP is virtual circles where knowledge is transmitted, practices are learned, and lineage is honored.
While some lessons focus on earth medicines, each elder is invited to share whatever needs to come through: healing practices, ancestral knowledge, techniques they've refined over lifetimes of work, stories. This is wisdom transmission in its traditional form - slow, intentional, and rooted in real experience, brought to you by modern methods: zoom.
The Moms on Mushrooms Eldership Series is open to anyone who feels called. While many teachings center women and mothers, all who feel called are welcome.
60-day replay access included with purchase. For free lifetime access to this session plus all future Eldership workshops, join The Garden.
Proceeds provide compensation to each Elder for her time and are reinvested to support the M.O.M. Mission.
