Yerba Mansa, Myth and the Dark Goddess
An Online Lecture by Cathy Skipper. Watch Anytime!
Learn how to work with a plant and its myths to advance your soul's growth and contribute to healing in the world.
Over several years, since living in New Mexico, Cathy Skipper has developed a deep relationship with the herb Yerba Mansa (Anemopsis californica) as a guide. In this 1 hour 12 min lecture, she discusses her experience with Yerba Mansa for bringing into consciousness the Dark Goddess energy necessary for healing in the world today.
She also talks about the myths of the many different forms of Dark Goddess and how Yerba Mansa relates to the myth of La Llorona, whose true identity as an ancient Dark Goddess of the Southwest has been obscured and misrepresented.
Illness starts with an inner imbalance of the psyche that can impact the individual, the community and the culture. Inner health can be restored by identifying old, inherited, unconscious patterns and shadow archetypes, that women have internalized or that have remained unacceptable in the dominant patriarchal culture.

In 2015, I lost my mum, moved continents, was diagnosed with cancer and lost all the material belongings I owned in the world. My passion for working with aromatics for deep, soul healing enabled me to move through these difficulties and develop a powerful and transformative modality of healing with my husband Florian Birkmayer, MD.
My workshops and consultations here in New Mexico, internationally and online help clients learn how to use aromatics, depth psychology, journeying and much more to peel away the layers that are keeping them from living their best life.
I help individuals using the power of aromas, journeying, depth psychology and my gift of seeing the ‘real you’ to discover your soul’s purpose, heal the trauma you are carrying and become whole.
I am the author of the books “Aromatic Medicine” and “The Alchemy of Menopause Workbook”.
