I love Alix, and I’ve noticed that not only does she write gorgeous poems, she is also a beautiful and insightful speaker. Everything she says makes you want to write it down! In this episode, we dive into what it is to be polyamorous and how Alix writes poems in collaboration with her higher self. We also talk about creativity, spiritual wholeness, sobriety, imperfection, soul-retrieval, and most importantly, accepting ourselves entirely as we are: with all of our messy contradictions and identities. Rev. Alix Klingenberg is a photographer, spiritual director, and poet. She’s been writing essays and blogs (Highly Sensitive Extrovert) for several years, but only in the past year has begun to bring her poetry out of her journals and into the public. She self-published her first poetry collection, “Secrets and Stars,” in November of 2020. Alix also leads online creative arts courses and lives in MA with her family, 2 black cats, and a small dog named Cricket. Polyamorous means many loves. Alix wants us to examine our obsession with singular love and the many ways we suppress ourselves and limit ourselves. Everything forces us to separate and divide and choose a side but wisdom stands in the middle. Creativity is a rejection of the binary and being willing to explore and add and expand. We all already know how to write poetry. Every single person already knows how and we don't need to do anything except write it down and stop censoring ourselves. Poetry got a bad rap back then and now it is more mainstream and modern - many of us remember having poetry forced on us in school. Old poetry and odes and it was hard to relate to the language. Sometimes we have to re-evaluate and reject some of the traditional models of success, and find our own definition. connection,consciousness,courage,education,feminine,healing,health,inspiration,love,revelation,selfhelp,selflove,spirituality,vulnerability,women Poetry has always held a special place in my heart.

More than a poetry book, Love and Gaslight is a story. Divided into five chapters, it sparks with one woman's decision to leave an unhappy relationship. Her choice begins a painful unraveling. Poem by poem, she searches for lost innocence and unpalatable truth. Veronika is also a sexual assault survivor reclaiming her body. She is an immigrant climbing into the home-sized hole in her heart. She is an adult comforting her inner child. She is a woman questioning the social conditioning that governs her freedom. Love and Gaslight is raw, political, and transgressive. It's edgy, feminist, and relevant. Most importantly, it's honest. You will feel it. Whether it makes you feel sad, glad, or attacked, it will also make you feel brave enough to speak your truth. Show Notes: * Poetry can reveal truth and heal trauma. Vironika has been writing poetry since she was a child and after publishing two self-help books, she decided to dive more deeply into her poetry. * As a woman, your healing process comes up for you each month when you have your period. So once a month, when you're on the progesterone part of your cycle, it comes back and it gives you an opportunity to process whatever it is that hasn't been processed. * Toxic relationships are crazy making. * Vironika realized that she and her partner were recreating childhood traumas with each other. He was casting her into this role of his mother, and she was casting him into this role of her father, which tends to repeat itself over and over again until you learn to heal your inner child. * Vironika came from the former Soviet Union to Canada with her parents as immigrants. * Vironika had to learn to empty herself in her friendships with others in ways that would not re-traumatize herself. * It’s really important to find a friend that can hold space for you. * In the former Soviet Union there is a big culture of repression, so much so that many people have throat issues and thyroid issues that have to do with voice suppression. * Sometimes we are doing the right thing but with the wrong person. * Love and Gaslight is a collection of poems that share the process of healing. connection,consciousness,courage,education,feminine,healing,health,inspiration,love,revelation,selfhelp,selflove,spirituality,vulnerability,women Vironika Wilde is a poet, spoken word artist, award-winning author, nomad, feminist, cat fanatic, and activist.
