Welcome to Season 9. Today I’m in conversation with Marianne Siddons Heginworth, who is a therapist, ceremonialist, somatic practitioner, and long-time guide of the imaginal, archetypal, and wild relational landscapes. In this episode, we explore resourcing, emotional intimacy, nature connection, and the inner work of healing - including an inquiry into masculine and feminine qualities - expressed in the following key reflections:Experiencing our first ever in-person recording, which brought a deeper sense of presence and connectionExploring the importance of resourcing before meeting painful or vulnerable parts of ourselvesUnderstanding how resourcing creates safety and capacity without bypassing what’s truly presentGrounding through the body, especially into the pelvis, as a foundation for nervous system regulationUsing imagination to connect with archetypes, elemental allies, or inner protectors as supportive resourcesSeparating parts of the self in order to identify needs and nurture an inner parentBalancing heart and will—learning to root and feel deeply while staying clear, steady and presentReflecting on masculine and feminine energies as dynamic inner forces rather than fixed gender rolesQuestioning cultural stereotypes and affirming emotional depth, power and sensitivity as human qualitiesParenting with honesty and presence, offering emotional language and space for truthNaming the pressures of overculture and the courage it takes to speak and live from the heartWorking with the Celtic tree calendar to align internal experience with the cycles of the yearHonouring trees like Rowan as guides in times of descent, grief, and quiet transformationReturning to the body and the earth as resources that allow us to meet life with intimacy and integrityShow Notes:https://theoutdoorteacher.com/podcasts/episode-65-marianne-heginworth-podcast/Music by Geoff Robb: www.geoffrobb.com Please Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple PodcastsIf you have enjoyed today's episode, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
