How can you be more FREE?
Free to embrace your sacredness? Free to love others well? Free to speak truth to power? Free to step off the plantation? Free to hope?
Let’s journey toward freedom together.
I’m Dr. Christena Cleveland
As a weaver of Black liberation and the Divine Feminine, I embrace the archetype of the Black Madonna as I guide people of all races and genders into freedom, wholeness, and embodied justice.
WHO IS THE BLACK MADONNA?
The ancient Black Madonna archetype awakens us to a Black female divine Being that cannot be claimed, contained, or tamed by any religion, country, or people.
She is wise, wild, powerful, uncontrollable, definitively on the side of the oppressed, and subversive -- characteristics that have scared the white bejeezus out of patriarchy and empowered marginalized people throughout time.
Regardless of your race or gender, wholeness and abundance await you at the intersection of Black Liberation and the Divine Feminine.
ENCOUNTERING THE BLACK MADONNA
Sign up for my monthly newsletter in which I share reflections, practices, and resources that release you from white supremacist and patriarchal conditional and nourish your connection to the Sacred Black Feminine.
JOIN THE BLACK MADONNA COMMUNITY CIRCLE
Experience the Black Madonna’s profound power to heal and embolden us as we co-create a world in which all Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), all women, and all trans and non-binary people are truly sacred and free.
BRING ME TO TOWN!
Integrating social science research, dynamic storytelling, and somatic practices, I facilitate transformational spaces in which individuals and organizations awaken and transform. Together we awaken to the biases, shame, fears, and attachments that impede our justice advocacy – and together we develop skills to transform them into courage, vulnerability, and solidarity-in-action.
Invite me to make an in-person or virtual presentation to your community!
SUPPORT BIPOC LIBERATION!
When Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) are free, all people are free. In just the last two years, we’ve granted over $130k in scholarships to BIPOC learners. In 2024, we offered FULL scholarships to Black trans and non-binary people! The easiest way to sustainably support BIPOC liberation is by joining my Patreon community!
Bonus: As a patron, you’ll have full access to hundreds of articles + recorded practices, plus an entire community of justice-seekers who, like you, want to be more free!
