What if beauty were less about becoming something and more about remembering who you already are?
In this premiere episode of Goddess Beauty Mysteries, guest host Michelle Abraham turns the microphone toward host Christine Shahin to explore the winding path that brought her here. From cosmetology and folk herbalism to natural hair coloring, ecological salons, environmental activism, and decades of “questing green,” Christine’s relationship with beauty has always been connected to something larger than appearance.
Their conversation opens into ancestral wisdom, cultural and ecological sustainability, matrilineal traditions, and Christine’s vision of sacred sovereign beauty, a way of seeing beauty that is not dictated from the outside but discovered and expressed from within.
This first episode is also an invitation to remember. To gather pieces of knowledge that may have been forgotten, interrupted, or pushed aside, and to consider how ancient traditions might help us move forward without leaving the wisdom of the past behind.
Mysteries to Uncover:
- A different way to think about beauty as something remembered and reclaimed rather than prescribed from outside ourselves.
- How natural beauty traditions and plant relationships can become part of a much larger conversation about culture, health, and the Earth.
- What “sacred sovereign beauty” may invite us to reconsider about the standards we have inherited around how we should look.
- Why ecological sustainability and cultural sustainability may be more deeply intertwined than they first appear.
- What becomes possible when moving forward includes remembering, preserving, and building upon the wisdom that came before us.
