ORIGINS: THE PRIMAL MOTHER WOUND

PILLAR I

ORIGINS — THE PRIMAL MOTHER WOUND

(belonging, identity, psychological inheritance)

Many leaders—particularly women—operate from an unexamined sense of exile.

Service emerges as an external gift, but the internal psyche silently sweeps generations of societal, familial, and primal ache along the shore of certainty.

Through Jungian psychology, mythic story, and ecological metaphor, this pillar examines the origins of belonging and separation that shape identity, ambition, intimacy, and leadership.

Participants explore the arc of abandonment, shame, desire, and acceptance—restoring a stable internal root system of what it means to be home, anywhere.
