Post Pod | Shift Competition to Confidence | by Jaclyn Lanae

These pods are free to all, please consider a donation to support this content.
For those interested, Thursday, the 25th of June, our Soul Craft Circle on the Medusa Rising Discord channel will focus on the ways we can do the re-programming work to move ourselves out of a place of judgement - whether of ourselves or of others - and heal together so we can be a greater force of good in the world. If you happen to be a paying subscriber, you already have access to that support! If you would like to become a paying member and get that perk (plus LOTS more), you can join us here.

Ep 29 Embodiment, Pleasure, Power | Jaclyn Lanae and Victoria Gugenheim

Medusa Rising audio pods are free, please consider : https://www.medusarising.org/donate 
Our bodies are us, and our bodies are for us. Feminists, being women, are not one kind of woman, not one style, not one kind of body, not one kind of experience. We are each ourselves. Feels obvious, but in the movement, there can be a flattening, a narrowing, as in any other social formation. Our liberation, though, that has to come to be experienced in and each woman herself.

Ep 28 On a Materialist Spirituality | by Esmee Streachailt : post recording

Medusa Rising audio pods are free, making them is not :) https://www.medusarising.org/donate
A view on questions from readers: 1. Does it always have to entail a spiritual belief/practice?2a. Is a Wiccan path feminist? 2b. Do feminists need a goddess? 3. Can a feminist retain a sense of spirit when she believes in the power of material reality and rationality?

Ep 27 Movement and Embodiment | Victoria Gugenheim and Esmée Streachailt

Medusa Rising audio pods are free, please consider : https://www.medusarising.org/donate Victoria and Esmée range across the pressures on our bodies, the ways we push back in and from our bodies, the ways feminists do and don't welcome our bodies and what it might mean to shift away from policing each other (hint, we would have more feminists).

Post Pod | Shaping Energy to Flow Is the Craft | by Jaclyn Lanae

The art of crafting a soul is, at its core, an exercise in energy management. A conscious, loving intentional awareness and adjustment of our own energies, perspectives, and belief systems in order to create a more wholly embodied energetic self. It’s a focused shift of state, not just mood.

Medusa Rising is a multimedia space for radical feminist storytelling, research, art, political education, & coaltion-building grounded in the radical materialist feminist (#RadMatFem) frameworks developed in THE RADICAL NOTION. We exist to take radical materialist feminism into the next arm of its spiral: to share these ideas and analysis all over the world in easily accessible and useful forms.
We are eager to promote new feminist work on women's needs, life-wisdom, ideas, culture, soulcraft, politics, art, economy, ecological work, and social movement.

Think Mean, Take Power, Destroy Power | by Esmée Streachailt

The Fash have one competency: They think mean. It's a form of flow for them, it’s part of their temperament. They time their moves to have the most devastating effect. They have already declared a Cold War on the People and the Republic, and a hot war on our immigrant nieghbors.
