I Am That - Anahita Joon - Pastor and Priestess 0114

The Pastor & Priestess

Anahita Joon has known both the darkest oppression and fullest expression of the feminine.

She was born in Iran during the revolution and grew up during the Iran Iraq war, where women were highly oppressed. As a young girl, she only wanted to dress up and dance, and longed for more self-expression, but that was forbidden in Iran at the time.

At age 14, Anahita moved to America to find freedom. As an immigrant, she tried desperately to fit in – she dyed her black hair blond and straightened her curls. She rejected her natural Goddess-given beauty in hopes that the world would finally accept her.

Divorced by 22, she faced an addiction to food and illegal substances. She experienced severe depression and contemplated suicide. She spent years taking antidepressants before eventually becoming medication-free.

Her divorce catapulted her into a ‘dark night of the soul’ that would lead her to a spiritual awakening. She had a mystical initiatory experience with the Divine Feminine that led her to find her liberation on stage as an exotic dancer.

Now a credentialed spiritual counselor and coach, and a wife and mother, she is dedicated to unleashing the power of the feminine for women.

In this episode, Anahita shares her spiritual journey and how she is learning to bring love and boundaries, separateness and togetherness into Sacred Union. She shares how liberation comes from owning it all, in a radical recognition of “I Am That.”
