Honoring the Feminine: The Path to a Conscious Masculine
My PhD dissertation, published in 2019, explored what it means to honor the feminine as a path to the conscious masculine and a direct experience of inner marriage. I defined characteristics and dynamics of the feminine and masculine aspects of our inner selves and the creative interplay/inner marriage, demonstrating how honoring the feminine in daily life can positively impact both the inner landscape and the outer world.
These concepts are equally relevant for all genders: women, men, non-binary, and non-gendered people.
I performed a close reading and depth psychological analysis of segments from my work-in-progress, Missing Parts: A BodySoul Memoir, using a feminist lens, supported by intuitive, imaginal, and somatic ways of knowing.
Included is a personal reflection on my dissertation-writing process, as I struggled to honor my inner feminine within the context of a patriarchal work ethos.
