(Originally aired on Weaving the Wild Podcast)

In this crossover episode, Stella joins Rachel Hodgins for an unhurried conversation about womb oracle dreaming, animistic ways of knowing, and the intelligence that moves through dreams, land, and the body.

This isn’t an episode about decoding symbols or assigning meanings. It’s about changing how we understand what dreaming actually is.

Stella speaks about the womb as a site of perception, how dreamwork dissolves the separation between night and day, and why intuition isn’t something to access or activate, but something that becomes reliable when it’s rooted in the body rather than the mind.

She also explores the historical suppression of women’s dreaming, the fear of feminine oracular authority, and what it looks like to remember these practices in grounded, lived ways.

Topics include:

• Womb oracle dreaming and embodied knowing

• Animistic dreaming and the dream weave

• Dreams as something to respond to, not interpret

• The relationship between dreaming and aligned action

• Working with dreams even when recall is inconsistent

• The long suppression of women’s dream authority

• How dreams shape waking life

This is a layered, spacious conversation, best listened to slowly.
