BEFRIENDING THE SOUL

Dreamwell, Ink is a honey flow of writing for fellow dreamers, writers, healers, and spiritual seekers and a temple space for the Creatrix within and without.

The Creatrix is the Divine Mother Goddess, Wild Sacred & Holy Lover, Feminine Creative Shakti Life Force, who dwells within each of us.

The spiritual and living symbol of the well is a portal that sources our vital life force energy into the Earth and nourishes us with the life giving Water, the spiritual and soulful nutrients we all need to feel truly satiated in this “one wild and precious life.”

When we tap into the oracular flow, into the honey voice tinged with the blood, sweat and tears it takes to truly access our deepest selves, our highest selves and potential, we create our lives from the inside out, WE LEAD WITH OUR SOUL, and we remember our true nature.

TO DREAM WELL IS TO LIVE WELL

When we have so many distractions, when we are immersed in a culture focused on productivity, task, money, efficiency, self-doubt, work and taking, this space is a tether to the sacred, to an ancient and future lifeway that has roots in slow, mystical, body-as-temple.

To remind us of the fertile richness of our internal world, of the darkness where we find what we truly desire, and the Great Mother Goddess traditions that hold us in a fine mesh cradle of love - singing our souls home, dancing our dreams out into the world.

This temple is a wing of Creatrix Mystery School - a life dream and dream life incubator for womxn remembering how to access and LIVE the feminine frequency - an embodied, sensual-somatic, ritually guided, intuitive, eros-led and creative vibration- that is also integrative.*

Where there is space for**:

• following what has heart and meaning

• accessing our warrior nature, to be present in our lives

• speaking our truth without blame or judgement

• being open to the outcome, not attached to the outcome

*We lead with the feminine, we emphasize this yin nature, but we are always seeking balance with the dynamic or masculine frequency as well as the non-binary nature. Integrative in the sense that all is welcome here and integrative in the sense of updating the undigested and incomplete material of the past into the present for a more vital future.

**These are the principles of the 4-Fold Way as put forth by teacher and mystic Angles Arrien and taught to me by teacher, medicine woman and mystic, Char Sundust.

About the Author

Hello Beauty, I’m Cadie.

I am an alchemical healer: acupuncturist, shamanic practitioner, and women’s eco-somatic soul guide. My practice in Bellingham, WA & virtually focuses on women’s medicine, animist practices and lifeways, and holding space for women walking the descent to their inner work (what I call integrative soulwork).

An inverted paradigm from status quo, we journey into our inner landscapes + build our transformational skill set, so that we can effectively be in relationship with what we encounter along the way.

I’ve been facilitating healing-in-community with women’s soulwork programs and workshops for the last 5 years, practicing medicine as a healing professional for 11 years and began my personal healing journey in 2007.

I support women to make contact with soul - to shapeshift away from cultural norms into a feminine-led attitude towards life.

Some aspects of this are:

• “Body as earth, earth as body,” activating the ancient/mystical knowing of Goddess and Divine within, through intimate contact with the natural world, spirit world, and body.

• Ancestral healing; breaking the harmful patterns and opening the heart to receive the love, support, and strength from our bright and well ancestors

It has been on my own journey of healing and spiritual identity, addressing and integrating my own trauma, empath and attachment wounds, anxiety patterns and other mental-emotional and physical symptoms, along with being a healing professional, that I am passionate and skilled in supporting others to do the same.

On a deeper level, I empower and initiate women into the mysteries of embodied intuition, inner sensing, and oracular states of consciousness (without entheogens), through

somatic,

shakti,

(p)syche,

shamanic,

and sacred earth practices.

I believe we can have a powerful impact in the world through this yin path and Sacred Feminine Ways.

Grateful for this substack community. If this resonates, please say hi and let me know what you are up to.

Is this you?

I facilitate transformation for the rogue and wild womxn (part black sheep, part winged creatura) ready to alchemize her most obnoxiously-clingy and outdated patterns (in health, love, money, creativity) into her firebird passions and life dream, risen from the ashes.

(A willingness to become ash marks the student of alchemical transformation.) 

I tend to work well with

women and non-binary empaths & HSP’s,

neuro-somato-divergent-artist types,

cultural creatives,

healers/practitioners, entrepreneurs/healthpreneurs,

self-awareness affecionados (in the best way),

unconventional -lifestyle- seekers and the black sheep type who also have a knack for leaning into occulty-wu-shamanic-magical things. 

(The w00 (wu = shaman in Chinese) lost its glory when it lost the warrior courage it takes to truly enter the depths of soul. We are remembering how to NOT bypass.)

My therapeutic lens is a “wholeness+inner-resourcing take priority over trauma”, imperfection with a slice of irreverence, and the Great Mystery of consciousness.

The integrative women’s work crucible I offer is

trauma-informed, ritually+embodiment guided,

IFS-primed,

ancestrally led,

integrative,

earth intimate,

multi-dimensional,

eros engaged and

wholeness-rooted SOULWORK.

I am an aspiring poet and author, surrendering to The Oracular Flow, while I’m not teaching, mentoring or doing healing work. Sometimes you can find me on my paddleboard or at the dance studio. I am most fascinated by the ancient priestess/shamanic ways of channeling healing and creative energy as well as the Mystery of Consciousness and its evolution.
