Reclaiming Rites of Passage with Jane Hardwicke Collings
In this episode of All Boobs Blazing for the Feminine Rising I am honoured to chat to one of my favourite womb witches and agents of the Goddess Jane Hardwicke Collings who has played a pivotal role in my own radical awakening and activated a deep remembrance in me that we have to take back our births and reclaim our rites of passage stolen by the patriarchy.
Jane is a menopausal mother and grandmother. She was an intensive care and operating theatre nurse, and a homebirth midwife for 30 years. Now her work focuses on teaching the Women’s Mysteries and writing about them. She gives workshops on mother and daughter preparation for menstruation, the spiritual practice of menstruation, and the sacred and shamanic dimensions of pregnancy, birth and menopause. She founded and runs The School of Shamanic Womancraft, an international Women’s Mystery School.
In this episode we go deep into so much witchy magic including:
Her-story, the history of humanity, how we experience the patriarchy and how we can turn things around by reclaiming our rites of passage and taking our power back.
How life is always teaching us what we need to know and we can unravel our stories and mine for the gold.
Embodying our cyclical superpowers and dismantling internalised misogyny by busting menstrual shame.
Listening and honouring our inner voice as an act of defiance.
Loving ourselves through owning our birth stories.
Overcoming fears by bringing them out of the darkness and into the light.
We are the ancestors of future generations. We must be who we know we need to be NOW and ask our great great grandchildren what they need so we can honour that.
You can catch this episode on your favourite places to listen to podcasts such as Apple and Spotify.
Jane is such a firecracker, powerhouse of a woman and I just LOVE putting the world to right with her by my side. I know you are gonna get so much juicy goodness from this episode. I would love to hear what lands for you and if it resonates please share on your socials and tag us @sessionswithsaoirse and @janehardwickecollings
Here’s to your rising.
Jane sees herself as an Agent of the Goddess, a Priestess at the altars of transformation.
She carries 3 lineages.
Home birth Midwifery - ancient wise woman practices passed down the generations that she learned from Maggie Lecky Thompson (Australia).
EarthSong (Boulder, Colorado, USA) Shamanic Teachings and Practices - that she learned from James Harvey (AKA BlackBear) and Cedar Barstow.
Shamanic Midwifery - the teachings and insights of the Late Jeannine Parvati Baker (USA).
