Ep. 198 Family Archetypes: Understanding the Thanksgiving Dinner Table Dynamics

This is a picture of Katie Silcox. The text reads, "Spirit Sessions: Find your true spiritual home with Katie Silcox."

You’ve done the inner work and matured spiritually, yet as soon as your family gathers for the holidays you feel like a little kid again and revert to the same old, dysfunctional family dynamics! Just in time for Thanksgiving, Katie shares how family archetypes affect our relationships and how you can start creating more healthy family dynamics this holiday season.

Learn how to approach your next family gathering with the mind of a yogini so you can unravel generational karma and have more compassion toward yourself and others.

What if you didn't need to push harder, do more, o What if you didn't need to push harder, do more, or become some shinier version of yourself to feel well? 🌸

What if your body simply needed the right conditions to thrive?

Ayurveda offers a softer, wiser approach to healing. One that honors your hormones, nervous system, intuition and natural rhythms.

In her most recent live class, Katie dives into the core principles of Feminine-Form Ayurveda, exploring the elements, doshas and how this ancient wisdom can help us cultivate more self-compassion, rest, radiance and vitality.

The thing about Mama Nature is that she's always s The thing about Mama Nature is that she's always shifting, she’s always changing—she’s chaotic even. Yet within this chaos, there's order. ⁠
⁠
Ayurveda can be defined as the understanding of ordered chaos. It’s this beautiful paradox that reality IS chaotic.⁠
⁠
We cannot control nature. But we CAN go to bed and get eight hours of sleep, get up in the morning, take care of my morning daily routine, cook healthy food for ourselves and try to hang out with people that genuinely fill up our cup. ⁠
⁠
We can do all those things, and we can predict that we will feel a lot better than if we don't do those things. ⁠
⁠
This is the essence of Ayurveda.⁠
⁠
It's not about controlling life, but cultivating the daily rhythms that help you meet it with greater presence and grace.⁠
⁠
If you feel a tug to return to the rhythms of our grandmothers’ and learn how to live in alignment with both your body AND your spirit, we’d love to welcome you into our year-long Divine Feminine Ayurveda certification.⁠
