Musings from the Doulas

Crone Holiday

12/28/2024

0 Comments

 
Each year, near the solstice, Joni and I travel to Georgia to celebrate our Crone sisterhood at a holiday gathering.  It’s a long drive to Marietta, but a drive we look forward to each year as it means spending quality time with dear friends, honoring the wisdom that comes along with being an elder woman.  Of course, there is celebration and share time, lots of homemade goodies for the buffet lunch, more personal story share time, and this year….SANTA came!  What is a Crone you may ask?  

“Crone provides an energetic consciousness, a radical aliveness, which fuels the fierceness of women’s strength in old age. Crone is a framework for honoring the wisdom of elder women. Crone is a template for communication, community, and communion. Crone is a basis for cooperation and compassion for all living beings. Such a consciousness allows for action in the world or for deep, quiet peacefulness with all that is.
Thus, a Crone is an older woman who has learned to walk in her own truth, in her own way, having gained her strength by acknowledging the power and wisdom of the totality of her experience. She is “a wise old woman.” As a woman moves past youth and midlife into old age she consciously takes on the mantle of Crone - a woman who celebrates her survivorship, willingly choosing to continue forward in life with all the gusto she can muster. A Crone is a woman burnished bright by an inner fire that sharpens both her wit and her intensity, her passion and her power.”

Both Joni and I are so honored and proud to be included in this group.  Until next year!
