Thank you Mama Selva
I've met Mama Selva few years ago on one of my first ceremonies in Poland. When falling apart, she was the one who helped me to gather all the pieces back to it's place. Never judging always open and supporting. Almost like a spiritual fundament behind it all. Later already in Peru I had a chance to meet her again. She was the one who helped me to understand the power of acceptance and female presence more silent and observing but always there to catch you.
Healing presence
Do you know that cozy feeling of returning home when everything is just like you left it and how you like it? The smell of the fire place that has been burnt last night? Or the bedding still warm from beautiful dreams? Such a familiar feeling Sulvia's presence creates.
I have lived, worked, constructed, suffered, laughed, drank medicines, gone throught sicknesses, deaths, rany and sunny seasons with her. All along those extreme experiences she has been warm, wise, nurturing, super funny, easy going, feminine creature :) Her never complaining and no judgemental attitude has been always big inspiration. When I put too much salt in long prepared meal she was there to save it. If I was emotional she gave me space to be. Feeling sad she sprayed me with crazy Saggitarious humor or funny story. I had my doubts about medicine she always offered her wide experience. She knows when to speak and when to stay silence. She admits her mistakes and enjoys little snippets of everyday life. She shines with humbleness and grace. She is an example of true sisterhood spirit. Just look how she creates the space for her daughter to grow freely or how she talks to animals...
Just to be around Mama Selva is pleasure, is lesson, is medicine!
