In this episode, I sat down with the exquisite artists Sedona Swan Soulfire and Marya Stark to discuss their collaborative project "She Rose," a sacred offering to the rising Divine Feminine.
The profound symbolism of the rose is at the heart of this work. For both Swan and Marya, the rose has been a deeply personal and spiritual ally on their journeys of self-reclamation and embodiment of the Goddess.
Since childhood, Swan has associated the rose with the fragrance, power, and cyclical nature of the feminine. Her womb healing journey led her to the rose as a symbol of recovery, innocence, and the monthly initiations of her cycle.
Marya describes the rose as a "crown jewel," an archetypal representation of the different aspects of the Goddess that she has befriended on her path.
Together, the rose is seen as a "dream labyrinth," holding the intelligence and mysteries of the feminine experience. It symbolizes the blossoming, ripening, and shedding of the petals, mirroring the ages, stages, and evolutions of womanhood.
The rose is also connected to sacred lineages, the rose gamos (sacred marriage), and the celestial remembrances of the priestess archetypes.
At the core of the "She Rose" offering is a deep understanding of the transformative power of initiatory performance and ritual theater. Ultimately, "She Rose" is an artistic homage to the reclamation of the Divine Feminine that is already unfolding in the world.
This work is a way to amplify and celebrate the rise of the Goddess through their creative offerings. By weaving together music, dance, ritual, and myth, they hope to touch the hearts and souls of all who experience it. The art becomes a vibrational transmission, a catalyst for catharsis, and a reflection of the interconnectedness we all share as human beings on a journey of awakening.
