The Antidote
For women ready to break free from the pathologization of our bodies, aging, and the patriarchal paradigms of beauty
A Three-Part Class Series Guided by Dr. Stacy Dicker, Kathleen Nora Bower & Vive Oldham
“Tell the image makers and magazine sellers and the plastic surgeons that you are not afraid. That what you fear the most is the death of imagination and originality and metaphor and passion. Then be bold and LOVE YOUR BODY. STOP FIXING IT. It was never broken."
~ Dr. Marion Woodman
What if your struggle with your relationship to food, aging and beauty is all constructed?
What if the problem is not you? Not your body.
What if the issue at hand - perfectionism + thinness + discipline + purity + control, all bundled together and handed to you - is virtue, as a cage, intentionally constructed to benefit big business?
Because that’s the truth of it.
A woman’s relationship to herself and her body have been carefully constructed by marketing to ensure we self-monitor, through restriction, control and self judgement… and it worked, didn’t it?
Because we all are still ‘managing’ ourselves.
We are not going to teach you to manage better.
We’re going to re-imagine and re-create reality, together.
In these three classes you’ll be reclaiming your psychic and creative energy, liberating yourself from a punitive gaze, and be an active participant in collaborative repair.
To counter a cultural lens that controls women's bodies, behaviour and beliefs we need to build capacity for holding multiple truths.
Yes, we have to live in the world as it is. Yes, we all live with the impact of that every day. And Yes, we can radically re-organise how we feel about our body.
We’re taught perfectionism instead of trust, control instead of intuition.
This is a call to remake our world view, together.
Rebel. Reclaim. Reweave.
Meet Your Teachers
Stacy, Kathleen and Vive weave in their expertise in depth psychology, somatic education and seeing with a mythic lens, so you can experience just how possible it is to create a world you want your kids to grow up in.
Stacy Dicker, Ph.D.
Clinical Depth PsychologistStacy is a clinical psychologist whose work bridges depth psychology, trauma healing, contemplative practice, and ancestral repair.
With over twenty years in private practice, she has long been devoted to understanding the hidden patterns that shape human suffering and transformation. She has specialized in working with disordered eating and taught college-level psychology courses, including eating disorders, for nearly ten years.
Her path has been deeply influenced by the work of C. G. Jung, intergenerational trauma healing, and the integration of ancient wisdom traditions with contemporary psychological understanding.
Grounded in decades of therapeutic work and personal contemplative practice, she brings warmth, grounded hope, deep compassion, a tender heart, and a love of poetry. She feels deeply honored and continually touched by the ways healing and reconnection can emerge organically through courageous vulnerability and authentic human connection, especially in community.
Kathleen Nora Bower
Quantum Seamstress + Shadow AlchemistKathleen guides others into communion with their inner genius, to unravel old imprints, and reclaim the magic and power encoded in their DNA.
Over the past 13+ years, Kathleen has been a devoted apprentice of the Universe, she infuses Bioresonance Frequency Medicine, Esoteric Hypnotherapy, Astrology, Channeling and Ceremony into sacred offerings and teachings.
As a Gene Keys Guide, she leads deep immersions where shadows are honoured as sacred thresholds, and holds space for the underworld of the psyche to be witnessed through the eyes of compassion, reverence, and love.
Kathleen is the creator of two Global Summits ~ The Cauldron of the Quantum Field and Metamorphosis, and is deeply passionate about amplifying the missions of Visionaries and Soulpreneurs through her platform the Voice of the Starweaver.
And last but not least Kathleen is a Multi-Galactic Course Manager for the Global School for Quantum Evolution, the revolutionary & consciousness accelerating donation-based platform created by Jocelyn Star Feather.
Vive Oldham is a Somatic Practitioner, MotherCircle Facilitator, Artist, Mum, Auntie and Pleasure Activist.
Her practice is guided by the work of Marian Dunlea’s BodyDreaming in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma: An Embodied Therapeutic Approach which centres the organic intelligence of the body. Through her training and lived experience she helps women grow the capacity to stay present to both friction and pleasure. She orients to the idea that pleasure isn’t an escape from difficulty, but a resource that allows us to meet activation, thresholds, and change with groundedness and creativity.
She is the creator of Tiny Rituals, a body-led practice that aligns with the emerging science of neuroaesthetics and the art of tending the Soul, inspired by the work of Thomas Moore. Through small, sensory, creative acts, these rituals help women reconnect with what brings them to life, gently revealing their unique gifts - what mythologist Michael Meade calls our genius.
Her work blends structure and tenderness to support capacity building, creative expression, and meaningful, embodied change.

“Without even realising it, an inordinate amount of energy goes towards keeping our instinctual urges in check while ignoring our emotional repertoire.” ~ Dr. Paula Reeves
Class One: What if your body was never the problem?
The Construction & The Wound: ‘What do we do when healing becomes ill?’ ~Báyò Akómoláfé
Let’s see and name the construction for what it is - perfectionism + thinness + discipline + purity + control, monitored and monetised - and know, that this was never a personal failing
Understand your struggle as adaptive - Meet and welcome home the part of you that learned early to scan for threat and deploy control as defence.
Recognise how wellness + healing can itself become another cage - another protocol to fail at, another thing you should have fixed by now - and understand it’s not personal, it’s systemic
Understand why recovery is slippery - how the sting can still catch you years into doing the work, and why that's how ingrained it is, not evidence you haven't done enough
Class Two: A cup with no holes
Eros, Appetite & The Return of Instinct: follow the hunger all the way home
Understand your hunger as intelligent information rather than a symptom to override. We reframe appetite as Eros, your life force speaking through your body.
Learn to meet your instinctual needs instead of managing the surface behaviour.
Explore responding to habitual patterns in creative ways - so you can meet the signals from your body (the ones you were taught not to trust) with capacity and flexibility
Understand why it’s hard to feel satiated even when you're consuming plenty
Grow your ability to receive and hold pleasure so you can re-organise the ‘agent of control’ within
Class Three: Cultivating enough-ness
Fierce Gentleness -Live Q&A & Community
Live Q&A — bring your questions, be in discussion together
Be alongside women done managing, choosing something else together, so you feel communal repair directly
Share your voice with like minded women choosing rebellion over self-management, so you become part of stopping this dissatisfaction at the source - in yourself, and in the kids watching how you talk about your own body
Your Investment
We invite you to place your energy behind a movement for women of all generations.

Here’s what we're not doing
We're not handing you a protocol.
If there were a simple how-to, none of us would have suffered as much as we have.
We're not pathologizing anything you've lived.
This is not a diagnosis.
It's a story you're inside of, and there's rebel energy inside the wound.
