The Slow Inside Podcast: Awakening the Feminine Spirit
Awakening the Feminine Spirit with Rachel Rossitto
I’m not sure how I found Rachel—but a handful of words on her website shifted something deep within me.
They changed the way I understood myself and my place in the world.
I had to know more.
Rachel is a teacher, guide, mystic, and keeper of rose medicine. For the past 16 years, she has devoted her life to studying temple arts, earth-based feminine wisdom, Eastern spiritual philosophy and practice, plant medicine, energy healing, the way of tea, women’s holistic health, and masculine-feminine healing and integration.
Her work is rooted in alchemy—transforming the full spectrum of human emotion into beauty—and in awakening women’s innate wisdom, creativity, sensuality, and power.
She walks a new paradigm of leadership, one that balances softness and strength. It’s a leadership born of the body and breath, connected to the earth, inspired by the rose. Her truth arises from a life lived in devotion—expressed through love, care, and sacred offerings.
This conversation continues to ripple through my life. It gifted me a new morning practice and awakened a deeper way of leading from within.
May it invite you inward—to the raw, wild expanse of the mystery pulsing through your heart, your body, your life—so you may move beyond and express the sacred through your voice, your art, your being.
In this episode, we talked about:
– Leading in contrast to mainstream culture: how to root in your own truth
– The story of Rachel’s spiritual awakening after 40 days of meditation
– Her daily morning tea ritual
– Becoming a magnetic being who radiates beauty
– The many faces and expressions of the feminine
Favorite moments:
“When a woman has really gone within and met herself—when she has a constant, daily relationship with herself and her self-care practice, and she takes the time to truly know herself—she’s able to step into her community as a strong pillar of wisdom and beauty. She shines with an inner radiance that comes from a woman who truly knows and loves herself.”
“The more intimate I become with life, the more I love it. The more I want to serve it, care for it, and be part of it. The human experience is so challenging in so many ways—and also so exquisitely beautiful. I’m just so grateful to be here.”
