Recovery is nourished by truth in all forms. Liberation comes not only from heart-opening truths, the kind that melts us like butter in the sun but also from ugly, uncomfortable ones. The kinds of truths that make us squirm with a crawling unease, may be the most freeing of all.
Recovery may be a steep mountain, but it has been climbed many times before. There are maps, supplies, campsites, watering holes, and experienced mountaineers to help you make the trek.
At Villa Kali Ma, we talk a lot about healing women’s trauma. Healing women’s trauma is central to our mission of helping women recover lives of joy and meaning.
Many centuries ago, a decision was made that the start of each year should fall just ten days after the winter solstice. Before Julius Caesar’s Roman calendar, and in some cultures still, the start of the new year was celebrated in springtime instead, on the spring equinox.
Happy New Year, dear readers! Thank you for your attention to Villa Kali Ma and what we have to share about how women can heal from addiction, mental illness, and trauma. We are wishing you a very bright, expansive, and beautiful 2025, full of inspiration, connection, and joy.
There are many beauties and benefits of recovery. To sustain recovery, we have to approach some aspects of life with more delicacy and deliberateness. Romance is one such area, where greater clarity of intention is required of us.
As long as alcohol has been brewed, some percentage of the population has ruined their lives over it. The archetype of the alcoholic, who goes mad for spirits, losing house and home for an unquenchable thirst, has existed for a long time.
Shame and guilt are some of the most difficult emotions we experience. It is very distressing to feel like we don’t deserve love and belonging, or that we have been very bad and need to be punished for it.
There are times when to be alone is just what the doctor ordered. To sit in a well of presence in the simplicity of solitude is necessary at times, to replenish the spirit and body. This kind of aloneness is luminous and full, allowing us to connect more deeply and enjoyably to all of life.
