Sister, can I ask you something?
Do you feel it? That uncertainty. That fear. That anger swirling in the world right now.
Everything around us seems to be falling apart. We're wondering: How will I survive this? How will my family make it through?
And underneath all of that... there's another whisper. One that's getting louder:
"Is this all there is?"
"What am I here now to do?"
I know this whisper intimately. Because I've been hearing it too.
The Old Pattern Creeps Back In
When the world feels uncertain, we fall back into old patterns. The conditioning runs deep:
Be there for everyone else.Put yourself last.Stay small.Keep quiet.
We panic. We scramble. We try to make things work using the same strategies that never really worked before.
I've been doing it too. Trying to promote my work in ways that don't honor who I am. Pushing and hustling when my soul is asking me to wait, to trust, to receive.
The fear whispers: Try something new? Now? In THIS economy?
And we're bombarded with emails, social media posts, shoulds and have-tos and "do this to survive."
It's exhausting. It's overwhelming.
And it makes us wonder: Is the world actually falling apart? Will we survive this?
The Answer the Ancient Ones Knew
Here's what I've come to understand through the ancient Hawaiian wisdom teachings of Living Aloha:
Yes, we will survive. But not by going back to the old ways.
We're in the middle of a massive global and spiritual transformation. The old patriarchal world—the one that taught women to play small, to silence our voices, to believe we're only valuable when we're serving others—that world is crumbling.
And it needs to.
Because what's rising—what's been prophesied by indigenous wisdom keepers for generations—is the Divine Feminine.
Not a feminine as weak or passive.
The Feminine as the fierce, creative, life-giving force that will bring us into a new world of peace, harmony, collaboration, and co-creation.
The Roadmap Is Already Here
The ancient Hawaiian teachings of Aloha Lokahi, that have been shared with us through Mahealani Kuamo'o Henry, a Kanaka Maoli (a Native Hawaiian), give us the blueprint:
Aloha = Love, joy, the breath of life
Lokahi = Unity, harmony, balance
This is the foundation of the world we're moving into. A world rooted in:
Unity instead of division
Joy instead of fear
Love instead of control
Self-acceptance instead of shame
Positivity instead of limitation
Truth instead of lies
This isn't just a nice idea. This is the path forward.
Why Women in Sacred Gatherings and Circles? Why Now?
This is why women are being called to gather in sacred circle, women did in ancient times.
Not to fix ourselves. Not because we're broken.
But to remember who we are.
In circle, we:
Feel safe to be our authentic selves
Find our true voices
Are seen, heard, held, and uplifted by our sisters
Rise together into our Divine Feminine essence
Step into our sacred Feminine Leadership
All women feel this pull, even if it's buried under generations of conditioning.
But especially those of us in midlife and beyond.
We are the Wise Women. We carry decades of lived experience. We've survived what would have broken us when we were younger. We know what matters and what doesn't.
And the world needs our wisdom NOW.
Your Sacred Return
This is what I call Your Sacred Return.
Not a return to who you used to be.
A return to who you've always been beneath the conditioning.
A return to:
Your true voice
Your power
Your innate wisdom
Your sacred essence
This is not the time to play small.
This is the time to RISE.
And we don't rise alone. We rise together—women of all ages, all generations—helping each other remember, reclaim, and embody the Divine Feminine Leadership the world is crying out for.
The Invitation
If you feel this call—even if it's just a whisper—trust it.
This is your time.
This is our time.
The Sacred Return is happening now.
And it begins with women like you, gathering globally now in these sacred circles, speaking our truth, and rising together.
Aloha pomaika'i mau loa - Love and blessings always,Kaleo
