internships, training… The hidden face of the “sacred feminine”

This is a movement that is particularly followed on social networks. The “sacred feminine” is a theory which consists of rediscovering the power of women through cards, stones or plants. On TikTok, the hashtag is used millions of times, in videos posted most often by coaches and influencers. Should we be wary of the movement? The sacred feminine is first and foremost a business. Internships at all prices are offered on the internet.

A former follower “psychologically destroyed”

What do these women’s circles look like? A France 2 team spoke with a former fan. “When things weren’t going very well, whether emotionally or at work, I was a little lost. If the shaman ever takes us individually, (…) it feels good on one hand. But on the other hand, it destroyed me psychologically. When I was asked to get naked, to pass earth to do a ritual and my photo was taken“, she says. Certain practices of the sacred feminine are perfectly esoteric.

One ritual is notably called “the blessing of the womb”. To practice this treatment, you must be a “moon-mother”. The France 2 team goes to an office of one of them, in Paris. The consultation costs 100 euros. To cure the suffering of women after childbirth or during their periods, miracle remedies are advocated by Internet users, such as vaginal steam baths. However, these practices can be dangerous.
