Light Work by Dear Patriarchy
Welcome to Light Work, a space where two sisters on the path of healing explore powerful and transformative healing modalities.
Through sharing our personal experiences and insights from spiritual practice, we dive into the many ways people can reconnect with their true essence, release what no longer serves them, and step into a greater wholeness that allows them to be of service to themselves and their communities.
From shamanic journeying, reiki, and plant medicine to the sacred art of presence and self-healing, we'll share authentic stories and practical wisdom to support your own healing journey.

Uju Asika: The work is more important than your comfort
If this episode is resonating with you, send us a message - we’d love to hear from you 🤍
Welcome to the first episode of series 4 where we’re focusing on the educators, activists and influencers who inspire and guide us.
In this week’s episode, we’re hosting the incredible writer Uju Asika. She’s based in London, runs the “Babes About Town” social media accounts and is the author of two incredible books: Bringing up Race: How to Raise a Kind Child in a Prejudiced World and A World for Me and You.
We discuss creative processes, particularly writing processes, and how the fear of writing about charged topics (like systemic racism, patriarchy and other oppressive systems) can be debilitating. Uju talked us through how she keeps herself balanced, feeds her activism and connects with her work in pursuit of change. In her (beautiful) words: This work is more important than your discomfort.
