Today I’m joined in our SOURCE-ED SESSION by the Creatrix, Caro Gomez.
Caro, is passionate about us all connecting with our divine feminine power through ancestral wisdom - what she calls BIG BUSH ENERGY. She's a modern day shaman and queen of vulva fashion and ceremonial gowns, one of which I am BEYOND blessed to own + it’s bloody glorious! We met through out mutual appreciation of our vulvas + making vulva art - come join us as we pull a SHE oracle card + riff together on what comes up!
Some of the things we talk about include:
✨ Caro's philosophies of "big bush energy" and "viva la vulva!"
✨ The myths we're taught about creativity and uncovering our own innate creativity
✨ Why Caro refers to herself as "the joy witch"
✨ Embracing the fullest expression of your joy
✨ How adornment can help express the full spectrum of who we are
✨ The power of creative collaborations and women supporting women
✨ Understanding the value of creativity and art and the love and magic that goes into it
✨ The prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor
✨ Connecting with our ancestors and carrying the threads that they passed on to us
Here are a few quotable moments that I BLOODY loved from our chat:
"We go through our life unaware of our power. Unaware that our bleed is part of our superpower. And we say things like 'Uh I wish I'd never had it! What a pain! Why do we need to have this stuff come every month?' And to me, that is such an offense to our divinity."
"It is a call to say to all of you out there, to rebuild our relationship with ourselves. With our heart, with our soul, with our spirit, with our creativity."
"It's funny because I think in someone like me who speaks of joy and uses kind of joy as an act of revolution, it's like 'Oh does that mean that you're then saying that everything is happy and everything is positive? [Lisa: Right, or that you're spiritually bypassing all the horror in the world?] Yeah, yeah, exactly. And actually, on the very contrary. I'm kind of saying, 'Can you dare to tap into your inner joy even with all the shit that goes on in your life and in the world and in society?' [Lisa: As well as. Can you hold it all? Yeah, absolutely.] Yeah. Both and then some."
"It's about that expression of physical adornment that then goes into the deeper layers of who we are, right? Like this is the physicality: the nails, the earrings, the patterns, the colours. Like that is such a powerful, visual part of your identity."
"There is this beautiful story that says a grandma says to their granddaughter, you know when you work with your hands you transmute any pain, any tears, any sorrow into magic. Because it's like a channel that allows that to come through and I think that's what creativity does for us, you know, for the world, you know. Those who make it and those who receive it, right? Because it's like a two-way street."
Lisa’s new book Self Source-ery is available now from your favourite booksellers.
