Light Work by Dear Patriarchy

Light Work by Dear Patriarchy

Welcome to Light Work, a space where two sisters on the path of healing explore powerful and transformative healing modalities. Through sharing our personal experiences and insights from spiritual practice, we dive into the many ways people can reconnect with their true essence, release what no longer serves them, and step into a greater wholeness that allows them to be of service to themselves and their communities. From shamanic journeying, reiki, and plant medicine to the sacred art of presence and self-healing, we'll share authentic stories and practical wisdom to support your own healing journey.
