Uncovering Women's True 'Herstory' & Feminine Cultural Immersions with Hannah of Soul Seed Gathering

Mojo Mecca

In this conversation I’m speaking to a deeply inspiring woman, Hannah Ruth Dyson, a feminine researcher and founder of the documentary project / gathering / not-for-profit organisation Soul Seed Gathering. She is a woman who’s life’s work is to look deeply into history to discover stories from a woman’s perspective, rather than to accept the traditionally-told tales from a masculine lens. As she explains while sharing her own life story, she was never satisfied with this depiction, and has always known there was more to explore. And so she’s on a mission and purpose to compile research, traditions, practices and forgotten stories from the feminine perspective. This life’s-work of hers has been manifesting in the physical through an epic yearly gathering she holds, called Soul Seed, which is an all-women celebration and experience, held in a different place each time, where women are able to be immersed in the crafts, stories, rituals and energy of the women who live there. She invites local women to come and share their ways, so we may come to understand new lenses of living. Our conversation explores issues of: - cultural appropriation - a lens of ‘glorifying’ indigenous people in a novelty sort of way - the right way to marry appreciation and respect - some of the issues around the current ‘not-for-profit’ model away from a 'capitalist-helping-victim' mindset - the importance of self-work around our lineage - our relationship to the masculine - the sacred significance of weaving within indigenous cultures worldwide - the deep wisdom that is transferred through simply being, sitting and listening to the profound subtleties of feminine wisdom rather than expecting a big ‘cultural performance’ - the bias or limiting nature of traditional masculine scientific/archeological exploration and how feminine stories have been altered to appear more twisted or mythical rather than true and so much more. She shares also about the epic new branch on the Soul Seed tree - an online library, database and hub for her deep feminine research, studies and stories - which will be out within the next month.
