The Power of Softening – Balancing the Feminine & Masculine

Highlights from this session:

Euphrasia Nyaki explores the significance of disrupting patriarchal gender norms, balancing masculine and feminine energies, and the profound role of ancestry in healing and overcoming adversity. Euphrasia shares her journey from growing up in the slopes of the Kilimanjaro mountains, to becoming a healer who helps “heal our vision” to move beyond fractured world-views and into balance. She discusses the importance of integrating somatic experiencing practices and emphasizes the power of reconnecting with natural feminine energies. She offers us tools, particularly through the mother-child relationship, and the practice of using softness to promote healing. She delves into the interplay between individual and collective healing, addressing the impact of historical trauma and the importance of seeing one another with open eyes and an open heart.
