Braided Conversations

Regreso al podcast en una temporada 2 enfocando en el femenino y en las narrativas que nos hemos creado y como ellas se vuelven la semilla de muchas de las percepciones que tenemos acerca de nuestro rol en el mundo. Dado que estamos en el mes de la mujer, recordemos a las primeras mujeres, o arquetipos de ellas desde el autoconocimiento de nosotras mismas. Desde la intuición y su sabiduría. En este primer capitulo hablo en particular de arquetipos religiosos como Eva y como la Virgen Maria que son las primeras historias que nos conectan con el femenino. Cuéntame que mujeres quisieras que se mencionaran. Gracias por acompañarme. 

Welcome to season 2. This time, I will share my own poetry, sometimes in English y aveces en espanol. Éste poema tiene la firme intención de hacer visuales las palabras que comparto. Trata de los cambios en mi propio proceso de entenderlos.
