On poetic medicine

Oh… Poetic medicine…

The act of writing poetry can be a profound and transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery. With each carefully crafted line, we can uncover the hidden depths of our psyche and bring to light the unspoken truths that lie within us.

Through the process of poetic expression, we can bear witness to our innermost thoughts and emotions, shedding light on the mysteries that lay hidden in the shadows of our subconscious. With each word, we can bring to life the intangible and evoke the ineffable, revealing the inner workings of our hearts and minds.

As we engage in the creative process, we can cultivate a sense of mindfulness and awareness, becoming fully present to the beauty and complexity of our experiences. In this state of heightened awareness, we can access new insights and perspectives, gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Through the power of poetry, we can find solace and inspiration in the midst of our struggles, discovering the transformative potential that lies within even the most challenging of circumstances. With each line, we can tap into the wellspring of our creativity and emerge transformed, renewed, and emboldened to face whatever lies ahead.

So let us embrace the poetic muse within us, and embark on this wondrous journey of self-discovery and healing. For in the act of writing poetry, we can uncover the hidden gems of our soul, and discover the true depths of our being.

I am holding a special women circle where we engage with our Inner Poet!

Aleksandra She, who remembers. I work at the threshold, where psyche speaks in symbols, and the soul remembers. Rooted in Jungian depth psychology and Internal Family Systems, my work invites women and seekers into the quiet, often forgotten places within: the underworlds of grief, the wild terrain of desire, the sacred chambers of the inner child, inner mother, the Shadowlands, and Self. With a background in women’s heath research, in ritual, and in lived experience spaces, I do not offer diagnosis or treatment, I offer devotion to the unfolding Self. On the threshold of becoming- where we always are. Through dreams, parts work, myth, and the body, I walk beside those ready to meet themselves fully, fiercely, and tenderly. This is not fast work. It is sacred work. It is not about fixing, it is about remembering. I do not promise certainty. I promise presence, and a deep trust in the wisdom already within you. My work is rooted in the wild: in the seasons and the body, in the wisdom of the land, and in the deep ecology of the soul. I honour the personal as political, and the psychological as inseparable from the cultural. Feminism, ecopsychology, and embodied awareness are not add-ons here, they are the soil this work grows from. I offer one-on-one soulwork sessions, women’s circles, and immersive psychoeducational experiences that weave together depth psychology, parts work, and embodiment. Some of this work unfolds indoors, some in wild places—always with reverence for the wisdom of nature, the nervous system, and the feminine psyche. Welcome to the HORÓ nest. I think you might just be ready to re-member your Self.
