Women’s spirituality

I’ve been thinking about the difference between what spirituality women need vs men.

The worldly masculine gender roles often include:
Competitiveness, selfishness, self-centeredness, being ego-driven and cumulating resources.

The worldly feminine gender roles include often include:
Selflessness, being caring, sharing resources, being self-sacrificing.

Religious ideas of becoming selfless and serving others are useful for men (divine masculine) not for women in general.
These are good traits but women already have them, mostly.

Women need more self-centeredness.

I think that’s a reason why many women turn away from organised spirituality towards other types of spirituality. And this is coming from someone like me who is a Christian in my own way. Although I'm no longer religious (in the traditional sense) I know my Christian theology and I don't throw it away. 

The divine feminine focuses inward, not outward. Becoming aligned within herself. That is where creativity comes from and thrives.

And I will go as far as saying that we as women need more selfishness, not at the expense of others but for both self-preservation and self-fulfilment.

The depletion and burn out of women is a pandemic and the initial answer is not more self-sacrifice, but more self-centeredness.

In my upcoming course we will dive deep into how we can reclaim our inner peace, clarity and guidance. Stay tuned for more about that in the next couple of weeks ⚜️
