Dive into a conversation with Alissa and Nerimen, headteacher at our Outdoor Preschool in Sinai, as they rethink early education inspired by Munir Fasheh. This episode contrasts traditional education, often a passive absorption of fixed knowledge, with learning's natural, ever-present process—like breathing. Check out the SageSistas Blog about Radical Education. We critique standard schooling's rigid curriculums and explore an approach that embraces experiential learning, child-led exploration, and integration with the local culture and environment. This method respects each child's journey and sees the community and nature as key educators.Alissa and Nerimen share insights on creating a learning environment that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and independence, drawing on personal stories and Fasheh's philosophy. They invite listeners to reflect on the potential of education that cultivates holistic, compassionate individuals connected to their world.This discussion encourages a reevaluation of learning's essence, promoting a future where education aligns with wisdom, context, and community.---Stay connected with us beyond the podcast and dive deeper into the realms of ancient wisdom and sisterhood our blog at SageSistas.com.

In this episode of the Sage Sisters podcast, join Alissa as she unpacks the core mission of Sage Sistas. We delve into the historical "witch wound," examining how centuries of persecution led to the loss of invaluable ancient female wisdom and knowledge. Alissa explains how this collective trauma disconnected women from their innate power and communal roots.
Sage Sistas is here to counteract this loss by reviving the wisdom book—a repository of shared stories, knowledge, and practices that aim to heal and empower women worldwide. Through this initiative, Alissa highlights the project's dedication to rebuilding a global sisterhood that transcends modern-day isolation by reconnecting women to their ancestral wisdom and to each other. Further, we talk about the topics which will be discussed: Herbalism, Purpose of Life, Motherhood, Period Love, Sound Healing, Natural Contraception and so many more.
Tune in to learn about Sage Sisters' vision to restore balance and unity among women, fostering an environment where ancient wisdom is not only remembered but also flourished.

"Mindful Fury: The Alchemy of Anger" on the Sage Sistas Podcast plunges into the fiery depths of anger, unraveling its profound impact on our lives. Hosts Samira, Lylah, and Alissa navigate the intricate dance between astrological influences and our emotional landscapes, revealing how anger can serve as a catalyst for profound personal transformation and growth.Through a lens of vulnerability and insight, they dissect the entangled roots of anger within family dynamics and its echoing effects on relationships, inviting listeners to consider how their own anger patterns may be silently sculpting their paths.The conversation takes a compelling turn into the exploration of anger's expression through the prisms of culture and gender, especially within the realm of intercultural unions, provoking a deeper contemplation on the universality and individuality of anger.With a blend of wisdom and compassion, the hosts illuminate the path towards harnessing anger mindfully, advocating for self-compassion, and the power of mindful awareness as tools for not just managing, but truly understanding and transforming anger. They challenge listeners to rethink communication, not only as a bridge over troubled waters but as a conduit for healing and genuine connection.Concluding with actionable breathwork and emotional regulation strategies, this episode is an invitation to shift from being at war with anger to embracing it as an ally in the journey towards emotional liberation and well-being.

In this episode I tell you about all the measures I’m taking in order to support myself through the postpartum period. Osteopathy, inner child work and energetic massages are only some of the things I tried out for the first time in the past 4 postpartum months. I’m sharing my experience of what to expect and what’s important when it comes to making room for the things to unfold.
Listen to the full story starting with the conscious conception, wild pregnancy and free birth of my second daughter. We decided to not use any medical ‘help’ during pregnancy and birth which resulted in the most beautiful birthing experience I could have hoped for. Today I feel confident and empowered than ever and I hope I can awaken the spark to take back the power over our bodies for some of you. Mentioned Instagram: @freebirthsociety @bauhauswife
