From the amazing Lucy Pearce of Womancraft Publishing: In Irish mythology, the Ninth wave is the barrier that separates the Earthly World from the ‘Otherworld’. The Ninth wave is a reminder of the great mysteries that lie beyond our understanding. Over the next nine months, we have joined seven other Divine Feminine Wayshowers to help get the word out on their incredible offerings. Some we have worked alongside for years, others are new to us. Our intent is to share their offerings and the way they are contributing to help heal and balance the world with you, three times in the next nine months. Nine months being the human gestationary period.
8 Women [Organizations] coming together for Nine Months to support and lift each other. Join Us. #theWomenareComing

IAOMAI [aye-OM-eye] means to heal and make whole. Misti Dian serves as the head visionary of all things IAOMAI and she has been serving as a sacred bridge for others to connect to their inner light and walk in their AUTHENTIC purpose since she connected to hers in the late 90s.
As a generational healer, she holds a degree in metaphysical theology, has a combined 20+ year career as a consultant and coach, and she is most passionate about collaborating to facilitate unique retreat opportunities to break un-serving generational and cultural cycles.

“At the stream’s edge the procession fanned out and the central woman walked right up and into the fevered current. She lifted her arms skyward and began to roar like a tiger. All the sounds of the world around them came from her in a torrent. It was joyous and defiant and filled with life and death. The people with her were chanting all together but the words kept flowing on and over each other until the meaning was more than just the words. “Kali Ma, Goddess of the Fire. Kali Ma, Mother of the Bones. Kali Ma, Mistress of the Dying. Kali Ma, Daughter of Reborn.”
May our Daughters Know these Stories.

Long before patriarchal depictions of villainous women with pointy hats and warted noses, the Witch, or wicce, were the wise and loving seers of the sacred.
Their power, or magic, resulted in a deep understanding of the creational forces of Nature and Spirit — how they permeated and wove together the journey of all living beings into a harmonious, happy, and holy matrix of life.
