Turning Season: Conversations with Changemakers in Our Adventure Toward a Life-Sustaining Society


Dreamers' Den Series Ep 11: Dreams, the Female Cycle, and Navigational Corrections (with Geraldine Matus)

August 19, 2020

You’re about to meet another teacher dear to my heart: Geraldine Matus, of Justisse College International. You’ll hear her insights from her decades of work in reproductive health and with dreams. I met Geraldine in 2006, when I began studying for certification as a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner. When I talked to Geraldine about shifting my work over to dreams and Chinese Medicine, I was excited to hear more about her own deep love of dreams and the realm of symbolism. I thought you'd love hearing about it too.

Geraldine shares one of her early "big dreams" that helped her onto her path in Fertility Awareness, midwifery, functional medicine and depth psychology. We also talk about: her tenacious respect for the symbolic life, even through profound family rejection of that part of her; our “daemon,” or soulful purpose, and how we can override it when we’re busy whipping our bodies into shape; dreams that give a “navigational correction” vs. dreams that say “you’re on the wrong ship, on the wrong ocean”; dreaming and the female reproductive cycle (I ask her, Is the “veil thinner” during menstruation?); and one of my own dreams during pregnancy.
