Kerry Weber aka Boopita Otita is a Wombing Intern as part of her senior thesis project at Rutgers University on healing from sexual violence. She will graduate in December 2010 with honors and a double major in Spanish and women’s and gender studies.

“My greatest fulfillment comes when we empower each other to understand our inner wisdom and abundance of strength. My first Healing the Womb event was a transformative experience in which I was able to see the ability we all have as Goddesses to take control of our bodies and manifest the lives we want to live. I have since learned about all the love and bravery that can come from having a deep connection to the feminine self. Wombing and self-empowerment give me a calm sense of groundedness and connection to all things. I deeply want to share these gifts with you.”Kerry Weber

The best way for us to counter these effects
is to start prioritizing our own body’s news. It’s time to tune out the media & tune into your own media..your Wild Body Broadcasting Corporation. You do this by noticing the internal “broadcasts” your body sends you. Tune in the good news by listening and attending to your body’s messages, by nurturing yourself. If we want our children to feel better about themselves, we need to let them know by our example how important the news from their WBBC is. You do this by learning how to tune into your own. You do this by unlearning societal habits of worshiping the opinions of others; getting stuck in your head; trying to run the body; ignoring what your body is feeling & checking out of your body. The only way to teach this to future generations is for us to learn it ourselves. By our actions we can teach our children to value themselves.

Often we tune out our WBBC because we are taught to ignore it, that it isn’t important, & because we don’t know what to do with the information. When I first tuned into mine, I was flooded with painful messages. It was overwhelming. I had been ignoring it for 27 years & it had a lot to say! My body was in pain & I had to learn how to feel safe enough to listen & learn what to actually do with all the information. It took years of stumbling & searching through books, therapy, education & personal experience to figure out that the answers were being broadcasted from my body.

When I figured out how to listen to my WBBC, I learned what my body was asking for and how to nurture myself. Within my body I discovered all the answers, wisdom, healing, confidence & self love I was seeking. I was able to transform my WBBC from pain & worrying about what others thought, to a station filled with positive joyful broadcasts. Now 12 years later, I feel great about my body and don’t feel pressured to conform to media expectations. I feel more attractive now at 40 then I ever did at 20. I know that being attractive, feeling sexy doesn’t depend on me wearing the right shoes, or having the perfect look!

My Wild Body Broadcasting Corporation is my number one station. All I have to do is tune in to feel beautiful & lovable.

Here at Be Wild Woman I love empowering women to tune into their WBBC and feel great about themselves! Tune in today, discover your body’s wild wisdom, and pass it on… The only way to teach this to future generations is for us to learn it ourselves. By our actions we can teach our children to value themselves.

Today is International Peace Day
& our wild community is filled with peace and joy.

We were wild at our Peace in the garden Celebration!

We chewed on leaves, drank herbal libations, concocted, created, decorated, danced, chanted, prayed, chakracized, laughed and cavorted in a pool of rose petals together.

We left with joyful spirits, nourished bellies, painted faces, and rose petals strewn all over the ground and in our hair.

Thank you for coming together and bringing your wild positive creativity. Thank your for peacebuilding & peacemaking in the garden. Thank you for being a part of the wild peace.

“Positive creativeness is the fundamental quality of the human spirit. Let us welcome all those who, surmounting personal difficulties, — propel their spirits to the task of peaceBuilding, thus ensuring a radiant future.” Nicholas Roerich

Peacebuilding, positive creativeness, tuning in to your natural intuition to connect, heal, create and be joyful. Wild Women coming together with friends, beloveds, children, friends raising awareness and funds for peace. That is being wild.

Go to www.Internationaldayofpeace for more info on peace how to create, build & keep it., and for ways to celebrate & inspire peace today.
Here’s a definition of peacebuilding.
Peacebuilding is different from “peacemaking” and “peacekeeping” in that it focuses on creating a long-term culture of peace, rather than solving existing conflicts or preventing old ones from re-occurring. Peacebuilding activities aim at building understanding and tolerance between individuals, communities and societies and establishing new structures of cooperation. Peacebuilding activities range in scale from personal acts of kindness toward others to global inter-governmental programs.

Here at The Kakini Healing Center Be Wild Woman is wombing and doing all three, peacebuilding, peacemaking & peacekeeping. We are building a wildly peaceful community, giving women the tools to heal their own inner conflicts and prevent old ones from re-ocurring. Creating safety in our bodies and in our lives, wombing creates peace.

New York, NY, September 11, 2009 –(PR.com)– The Kakini Healing Center & Be Wild Woman, have joined with Arts for Arts, & The Walt Shamel Community Garden for the Global Mala Project to create peace in Brooklyn. Peace and Healing in the Garden is an all day community event bringing people together with music, food, yoga, peace chants, herbal remedies, hip hop, art, & more. Yogi Shiva Rae, the catalyst for the Global Mala Project, seeks to unite & form “a mala (Sanskrit: necklace or garland) around the earth” through community service, fundraisers, and collective practices. This is based on the sacred cycle of 108 at the Fall Equinox to further the efforts of the UN International Peace Day.

After their wildly successful “Wild Wombing Art Exhibit and Herb Walk” at The Annual Art on Dean show at the Walt Shamel Community Garden on August 22nd, Be Wild Woman planned a women’s healing event to celebrate the harvest, share herbal remedies with herbs from the garden, and raise funds to help women to “womb” and reclaim their creative power. Kiana Love, founder of The Kakini Healing Center & Be Wild Woman organized Peace and Healing in the Garden when Kiana realized how closely it resonated with her vision of Be Wild Woman and its mission of helping women to reclaim their creative power. “Wombing” —a term coined by Kiana to redefine womb as an action as well as a place—means creating and cultivating safety in one’s body, life, and community. Kiana has experienced personally and witnessed among others through her healing practice how essential it is to establish a safe space in order for women to be able to heal and cultivate relationship with their innate wildness.

Peace and Healing in the Garden also resonated with the message of her spiritual teacher Saint Amma, recipient of the Gandhi-King Award for Non-violence. When Amma addressed the UN she said ”When we work together as a global family, not merely belonging to a particular race, religion or nation, peace and happiness will once again prevail on this earth”. With Amma’s birthday, the The UN International Peace Day & The Fall Equinox all converging around this weekend, it was the perfect time to bring Peace & Healing in the Garden to Brooklyn.

Arts for Arts has also joined in the peace efforts within Gardens Series bringing innovative music into community gardens throughout NYC this month. The Kakini Healing Center will start the day with prayers, chants, yoga, stretching and dancing to create peace in the body and in the world. Then Be Wild Woman will share herbal remedies to stave off the plague. After a Fall Equinox invocation Arts for Arts will kick off music from its grassroots coalition of musical artists. Throughout the afternoon there will be healing art & crafts to see & create, healthy herbal delights, information on affordable housing, health care, and ways to give back to your community. There will also be hip-hop for kids, a rose petal pool, comfort food, bbq & bake sale by Walt Shamel gardeners.

Kiana says that “the way to create peace in the world is the start at home, in our hearts and in our communities, from there it is only natural to reach out spread the peace we feel inside”. Donations and proceeds will go to support the Mushana Global Mala Project, The Be Wild Woman Wombing Project, and The Walt Shamel Community Garden.

On August 22nd, the Walt L. Shamel Community Garden puts on its third annual Art on Dean show. Be Wild Woman joins the effort with its Wild Wombing Art & Healing Herb Walk. At this free event, visitors will enjoy a guided tour of Be Wild Woman’s herb garden, a wild array of community art, music, dance, refreshments, and create their own wild wombing art.

New York, NY, August 20, 2009 –(PR.com)– This summer, Be Wild Woman began its partnership with the Walt L. Shamel Community Garden to plant and cultivate a wild array of healing herbs for women and the wider community. From mugwort and chickweed to catnip and lamb’s quarters, this herbal garden is bursting into bloom with medicinal and culinary treasures. On August 22nd, a brilliant splash of color, music, and creative expressions will enliven this lush green space even more as the Walt L. Shamel Community Garden puts on its third annual Art on Dean show. Be Wild Woman joins the effort with its Wild Wombing Art & Healing Herb Walk. This free event is open to the public and will be a full afternoon of creativity, inspiration, healing, and joy.

“So much healing is offered to us by nature,” says Kiana Love, founder of Be Wild Woman and The Kakini Healing Center. “It’s important for us to learn how to use the amazing gifts Mother Nature provides us in her gardens.”

In addition to making its trove of herbs available to the NYC community, Be Wild Woman has created a guided garden walk where people can easily learn how to empower and heal themselves with ancient herbal wisdom and remedies. Before the art show begins, Kiana Love & special guest Master Herbalist Jacoby Ballard of Third Root Community Health Center will lead the very first tour of Be Wild Woman’s healing herb garden. Visitors will receive valuable information about the herbs therein along with a map of the herb garden trail, which will allow them to take a self-guided tour afterward.

A corner of the garden has been dedicated to Be Wild Woman for creating and showcasing art that follows a “wild woman” or “wombing” theme. In this context, “wild” is defined as living in a natural state, connected to one’s power, pleasure, creativity, and intuition. “Wombing”—a term coined by Kiana to redefine womb as an action as well as a place—means creating and cultivating safety in one’s body, life, and community. Kiana has experienced personally and witnessed among others through her healing practice how essential it is to establish a safe space in order for women to be able to heal and cultivate relationship with their innate wildness. This will be the spirit of Be Wild Woman’s Wild Wombing Art exhibit. The gallery will include contributions from various local women artists as well as creations from Be Wild Woman’s “Wild Wombing Day,” a day-long women’s celebration and healing event that was held this past May.

To kick off the art show, special guest Zahava will perform the Liberation of Being a Woman, an original dance piece that celebrates the raw spiritual erotic power of the animal body of Woman. Founder of LoveMakingDances.com, Zahava is a ceremonialist, dancer, and sensual educator. This dance is sure to kindle the spark of wildness and creativity within all who watch.

Aside from viewing and taking in the inspirational and healing power of the art displayed, visitors will have an opportunity to participate in a guided art-making project and create their own wild woman or wombing pieces. A variety of crafting mediums will be available; participants are called to “let their womaginations run wild.”

Be Wild Woman started with a dream to build a community of women committed to reclaiming, integrating and celebrating all aspects of their inner wildness, from the wild abandon and joy of a child to the ferociousness of a protective mother. While the wildness of the garden resonates with the powerful wild woman within, the nonverbal creations of the imagination give voice to the inner child that knows how to live freely and joyously. Be Wild Woman’s Wild Wombing Art & Healing Herb Walk will inspire and empower women to heal, express, and simply enjoy themselves in a supportive community space.

Be Wild Woman of The Kakini Healing Center, in collaboration with Walt L. Shamel Community Garden, is proud to present: Wild Wombing Art & Healing Herb Walk – August 22nd 1-7pm @ Walt L. Shamel Community Garden. For more information, please visit www.BeWildWoman.com or www.KakiniHealth.com.

Check out my ” Wild Woman Dances to the Beat of Her Heart” Beat post. our Be Wild Woman blog.
” At last I make it to Starwood, to festival. After a long week and long trip, I sit by the campfire and feel the call. Dancing..feel it in my body as I hear the drums. The beat resonates in my bones, in my blood, echoing in the rhythm of my beating heart. My body is tired and my soul longs to dance. I heed the call, I dance, I circle, I chant. My body is fed, my body is joyful, my body is tired. I succumb to rest, behind the drums, I sleep within the drum beat and feel as securely held by the beats as an Indian baby snugly bound in a cradle board. My body soaks in the healing vibrations of the drums as I slumber. Suddenly the rhythm wakes me, is in me. I jump up and allow its dance to manifest through me. Wild Woman emerges through my body, her body, her limbs. She drinks in the rhythm. She is hungry to dance, to laugh, to feel the drums. I watch my body move. I feel the rhythm, spirit, wildness coursing through my undulating body. Wild Woman is alive in me. Contagious wildness spreads throughout the circle, throughout the drummers, the dancers. She draws all in. Wild Joy. Uncontainable. Undefinable. Undeniable, in my body, in the flames of the fire, in my heart. I surrender to Wild Woman and am consumed, devoured..Only joy remains..”
