There is the archetype of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone in Triple Goddess. More here
In my own words
Maiden – Prime of her youth
Mother – Prime of her fertility
Crone – Prime of her wisdom
Behavioral
Maiden – Young, fun, open, learning, beautiful
(Shadow side: Wilful, childish, spoilt, manipulative)
Mother – Mature, nurturing, giving, serving, contributing
(Shadow side: Controlling, dominating, abusive, smuddering, tired)
Crone – Wise, teaching, space holder, inside-out beauty
(Shadow side: Dried, old, jaded, bitter, ugly, naggy)
Models
Without healthy models of Maiden, women made choices around love, sex, and dating which they regret.
Without healthy models of Mother, women approach motherhood with fear and apprehension about loss of their beauty and freedom.
Without healthy models of Crone, women approach menopause with fear and apprehension about the loss of their power, and beauty.
Thoughts
I feel sad/ regret/ pity when I hear of women who cannot/ refuse/ have difficulties accepting the life stage they are at – wanting what it is not possible anymore, and what is not there. Regret we all have, however, it doesn’t serve anybody to not be able to move for a prolonged period of time.
If only, we each have healthy models who can support us in moving forward bravely abit tentatively. This is where the loss of community is so evident… and this is why for a long time… this has been calling to me. I’ve been doing everything I can in many different ways to support men and women – and I am realising it still wasn’t enough!
Hence I’ve been feeling a pulling to run a monthly Red Tent… to now a Women Support Circle with my soul sisters. More than Eros Coaching, or Dr Martha Tara Lee venture, this is when I call on my wise sisters Linda van Laer, Dianna Lane, Teoh Seok Hean, and Jacqui Kay to come into circle with me to support other women because we are at a good place within ourselves.
Together, we offer ourselves, our lives, our presence, our unique energy as an offering to other women. We are not better – but we have collectively done a lot of ‘work’ on ourselves to be where we are at, and we want to support you in your journey.
About Dr. Martha Tara Lee
Surrounded by friends who were sexually inhibited and struck by dire lack of positive conversations around sex and sexuality in Singapore, Dr. Martha Tara Lee set out to make a positive difference in embarking on her doctorate in human sexuality before launching Eros Coaching in 2009. Today, she remains dedicated to working with individuals and couples who wish to lead self-actualised and pleasure-filled lives.
She also holds certificates in counselling, coaching and sex therapy, and her fourth degree – a Masters in Counselling in May 2018. In practice for more than 10 years, she is the only certified sexuality educator and certified sexuality educator supervisor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) in Singapore.
Often cited in the local media, Dr. Lee is the appointed sex expert for Men’s Health Singapore, and Men’s Health Malaysia. She was recognised as one of ‘Top 50 Inspiring Women Under 40′ by Her World in July 2010, and one of ‘Top 100 Inspiring Women’ by CozyCot in March 2011. She has published four books: Love, Sex and Everything In-Between, Orgasmic Yoga, From Princess to Queen and {Un}Inhibited.
Martha works with individuals and couples in private coaching sessions, and conducts her own workshops. She takes prides in making sure all her workshops are also fun, educational, and sex-positive. This comes easily to her because even though she is extremely dedicated and serious about her work, she fundamentally believes that sex is meant to be fun, wonderful, amazing and sacred. As such, this serious light-heartedness has shone through again and again. For her full profile, click here. Email her here.
