Goddess Initiation Dreams

The Private Conversation that Didn’t Want to Stay Private [Video]

Originally, this conversation wasn’t meant for public ears.

We intended it to be a private, heart-to-heart dialogue so we could speak with complete honesty about deeply personal experiences and sacred dreams. There was such intimacy and vulnerability in the room that we assumed it would stay there.

But afterward, we all felt the same thing:

This conversation is simply too meaningful to keep to ourselves.

So we’re sharing it with you.

Ok, let me back up…

Over the past twenty-something years, I’ve had the privilege of having truly extraordinary conversations with luminaries I’ve always looked up to, but this conversation blew my circuits to queendom come — in the best possible way. My mind, heart, body, and soul are still integrating what unfolded.

Last week I had a date with destiny, a meeting with two out-of-this-universe brilliant goddesses: Cynthia Abulafia (@EmbodyingTheGoddess) and Téana David (@teanadavid.film), to explore Goddess initiations, dreams, and what it truly means to embody the sacred feminine. Cynthia’s beautiful book, Embodying the Goddess, has already profoundly shifted me, but our conversation took that transformation to an entirely new level.

If you’ve ever struggled with being human… if you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body… if you’ve wondered why your soul chose to incarnate into this beautiful, messy, miraculous world… or if you’re longing to experience a deeper level of self-love and remembrance, I believe this conversation will touch something profound within you.

Téana David and Cynthia share the astonishing tale of a sacred relic that Cynthia unexpectedly rescued from an antique store — a mysterious act that became the thread weaving their lives together forever. It is one of the most extraordinary stories of synchronicity I’ve ever heard, and it’s only one of the many revelations that emerged.

I can’t wait to hear what resonates most with you.

If you’ve had a “Goddess Initiation Dream,” whether in sleeping or waking life, feel free to share it here…I/we would love to hear it — I think each of these dreams combined is like the weave of a very special tapestry we all get to share. Or (you know how I love to mix metaphors) pieces of a magnificent jigsaw puzzle — eventually the picture will become clear when enough pieces fall in place.

To your dreams! Kelly 💜

Don’t take your dreams…lying down!


Oh yes, because this wasn’t a formal interview, I never properly introduced these amazing women… so here are a few things you might want to know:

She has taught yoga, non-dual self-inquiry, and how to manage the energetic body for over twenty years. Cynthia is committed to giving voice and language back to the Goddess as the embodied experience.
