In this episode I chat with Aimie Duggan (she/her) all about our issues with the "feminine and masculine" language we often see in spirituality. Aimie is a coach and mystic who specializes in inclusive, decolonized wellness and spiritual care. Her approach is a "no BS spirituality," which I really resonate with. In this episode we chat about both of our understandings of what feminine and masculine energies are. We also discuss how this language can perpetuate harm to marginalized groups, such as the LGBTQ+ community. Aimie and I chat about how we don't have all the answers to how to approach this language, but that we know it doesn't resonate for us. There is an undeniable similarity between the patriarchal, sexist binaries used to harm people and what "feminine and masculine" means in spirituality. We discuss how spiritual practitioners can still work with these "energies" without perpetuating the harmful binaries. This conversation is something I've been wanting to talk about for awhile and I'm so happy I was able to do it with Aimie.
