Women Of Earth
A Manifesto by Anne-Chloé Destremau
All over the world, the Western capitalist patriarchal empire is repressing, destroying and enslaving local indigenous cultures. This is possible because there is a weak link in local cultures that Western marketers exploit. The weak link is teenage boys. Western culture is tailored to them: fast cars, beautiful objectified women, easy money, power, fame... Western culture is a patriarchal culture created by uninitiated teenagers for uninitiated teenagers. Modern culture relies on these pubescents to subvert and take over local cultures.
Local boys are taken from their villages and sent to schools in the city "to learn skills that will allow them to get a real job and make money." The money they earn is, of course, used to buy what modern culture produces: Rayban sunglasses, Camel cigarettes, fast cars, and their own apartment. In doing so, they leave behind knowledge of their own culture. The women and girls stay in the village and do the work alone that the whole community used to do together. Once strong and proud, women are excluded from community life, decision-making processes and their natural educational functions. Initiation processes are forgotten, as is the knowledge of growing food, building houses, and villaging. Communities are separated. Competition creeps in. Hatred and scarcity become the basis of thinking, decision-making and action.
If the lever of modern culture for overpowering traditional cultures is the boys in adolescence, then adolescent women are the lever for the transition of modern culture into the next culture. Women, especially young women, are the key to the creation of Next Culture - Archiarchy.
Women are key because they have a better chance of escaping the patriarchal empire. In modern culture, women are the slaves of men's pubescent mentality. Slaves can escape patriarchy easier than masters because slaves know that something else is possible. The Lord sees no reason why he should exchange his life for something else. He has no reason to question the system that makes him the undisputed ruler. However, when slaves decide that they want something completely different, (r)evolution inevitably follows.
Women's (r)evolution began at least 50 years ago with the women's liberation movement. However, I think that we - women - have failed to truly liberate ourselves.
We have until now not created a culture in which men and women are free to work together creatively for the good of all, including the good of planet Earth. This Path to liberation is as sharp and dangerous as a razor blade. Some women have tried to free themselves by fighting against a 6,000-year-old patriarchal system. They tried in vain to prosecute abuses by men, or marched through the streets with placards and slogans, only to be brutally beaten to the ground, pepper-sprayed in the eyes, and dragged off to prison cells or worse. These women walked directly into the swords wielded in defense of the patriarchal system, and they were deeply wounded. Other women have tried to beat men at their own game, believing that if men would respect them, they would finally be able to respect themselves. Women struggled to rise to the top of male-dominated hierarchical systems of politics, business, finance, health, education, religion, media, and forest destruction. The women who succeeded paid the ultimate personal price, for themselves and for us. Neither fighting the system nor defeating the system has managed to transform the system into something else. Both strategies failed.
I think that we have failed ourselves because we have not reclaimed our own Dignity and respect for what a Woman is. We have more respect for men and their social system than for our own Feelings, our Voice, our Authority and our Clarity. We have not taken back the power to Listen and let the Seed of what comes next speak clearly, incessantly, in whispers and roars. Even when the door is opened by other women - or even certain men these days - we turn away from them in emotional fear.
I sit here with this burning question - how can we women, for the sake of our children's children, for the sake of Gaia and life on Earth, for our own sake... how can we reclaim our own Dignity? What is the path to such an inner (r)evolution?
My experience has been that we women tend to vacillate between one extreme or the other. Sometimes we let ourselves be overwhelmed by our self-doubts "I am not good enough, never, for anything. I don't deserve anything other than this misery." At other times we claim "I am the best. These idiotic people don't deserve me. I'll show them what I'm capable of... or maybe I'll just leave them behind and torture them forever." We give ourselves a miserable choice of either 'I am less worthy than men' or 'I am far superior to them'. The deception is that thinking in polarities is just as rooted in patriarchal concepts of separation and competition. It is lived just as actively between men and women as it is among women.
It occurred to me to make an announcement: Women! It's time for us to start again. We are now starting again in a different context. Our new beginning has its origins in consciousness, radical responsibility and interdependence. Regaining our Dignity in a context of interdependence is not a selfish act. Regaining our dignity means standing up for ourselves in relationship to other women, men and nature.
Our job is to build the Bridge from modern culture to next culture - Archiarchy. The bridge is built as we walk it. Men cannot go first on this task because they are trapped in patriarchy and cannot leave it until someone shows them that something completely different from this is Possible. The change is happening now with every dignified woman crossing the bridge to a culture of creative collaboration between the feminine and the masculine.
I am writing this manifesto as a call for you, Woman, who are tired of wasting time taking care of a system that is eliminating your children's future, for you who are discovering your rage to create something new, for you who are reclaimining your Voice, your Heart and your Being and refuse to package them back into a culture that has no interested in your well-being.
The time of being nice and adaptive, twisting yourself to please others or spending hours in plotting revenge against your abusers, is over. You can decide it is over now. So a brighter future might have a chance, for your children and grandchildren who might hope for life. So your daughters can experience what it means to be a dignified woman in the arms of a newly awakened man. So your son has a chance to break out of a system that is eating his soul.
This is the Path of the Women of Earth.
Welcome.

Women Sourcing Archiarchy
Fierce days of love, laughter, and transformation.
Above are the faces of 34 Women Of Earth newly transformed in the Women Of Earth Lab in Brazil, April 2024 with Anne-Chloé Destremau and Vera Franco.
In this Lab, we focused on inner and outer transformation with the distinction: Whatever Burns Is Not Real.
There was no rushing through the burning. There was no space for inauthenticity to stay and linger. After all that could be burned, women stood shinning besides each other, arrogantly fierce on another woman's team, with a sharp Sword at her neck so the Woman standing at the tip end of the sword keeps her Dignity. And what happened once again as the most natural of things, was true Collaboration. Collaboration not so that each woman becomes a happy woman, or with more success in the current ecocidal culture. These women are not interested in being successful ecocidal agents with troupes of followers and money. This was Collaboration for the Gaian Gameworlds that want to emerge from a Woman Of Earth can unfold and develop in the world.
They dared to leave the fluffy, pink, shinny cool-land of social media modern culture success and hit bottom. In the bottom they found relief to not be playing a role, to not be putting on a show. But most interestingly, they found space inside themselves for a true Dignity that does not emerge from a measuring stick of material value, but from the forces of Nature that want to speak and express through them, and from the hunger each one of them has for the multiple regenerative cultures - and Archiarchy amongst them - to take even more space in the world.
Women Of Earth are Spaceholders for Archiarchy, and are spaceholders for more Regenerative Cultures to emerge and unfold on this planet.
They have enough Radical Freedom to make unreasonable choices and take radical stands without putting themselves under victim pressure.
They have enough Adulthood in them that when they roll their sleeves up they get create conscious results in reality. Instead of complaining about how things are, they create what they long for.
They demolish ecocidal Gameworlds and Build multiple Gaian Gameworlds instead.
They are conscious Pirates protecting Beings that cannot protect themselves from abusive corporations.
They are Healers that empower each other and others with new tools to heal themselves and to research about different dimensions and layers of Healing and Being Alive so that each human being can gain their authority about physical, intellectual, emotional, energetic, and archetypal ‘health’.
They are Memetic Engineers that can, with the power of words, change lives forever by dismantling old patterns of thinking and of living.
They are Women who have something more important than their survival to think about: Living their Destiny.
They are Women who live by radically relying on the Archetypal Forces that move them to be a bold, brave, healthy, loving, courageous conscious creator they can be.
Women Are The Key To The Emergence Of Next Culture
If the leverage point used by modern culture to overpower traditional cultures is teenage boys, the leverage point for transforming modern culture into next culture is teenage women. The women, especially the young women, are the key to the emergence of next culture.

Dignified Arrogant Women Carry Seeds of Archiarchy
by Anne-Chloé Destremau
Some women around the world have already stopped trying to make others (and themselves) feel better in their torturous circumstances, and instead direct themselves towards planting and watering Seeds to grow the next culture. What if you became one of us? This is the invitation.
Layers Of Separation & Layers Of Intimacy
by the Women of Earth Bridge-House
The Women of the Bridge-House took another challenge: focus on empowering each other’s research, making them our own, and being on each other’s teams. This of course resulted in more Emotional Healing Process spaces. More experiments than ever. More Edgeworking. And of course more Discovery, High-Level Fun, and more Spaceholding Skills.
More coming soon...
Resources for Archiarchy
Archiarchy is not good. Patriarchy is not bad.
The good/bad belief system is in itself a Shadow Principle promoted by the Church
to create followers and money-giving 'sinners'.
There is, however, a very clear Distinction between the Context, Values, Purpose and Consequences created through different human cultural contexts.
If your choices are based on the belief system of good and bad, you are in prison and your choices are not your own, they depends on the external authority figure who decides what is good and what is bad.
You can change your mind and reclaim your Power of Choice to not be based on Reasons, but on Clarity of Consciousness.
The websites below are the results of decades of research into deepening Clarity and Transformational and Healing Processes, so that your choices can be informed through expanded awareness.
Each Woman's Story
There is something I have not been telling you...
Every women has a story to write, a real, dripping heart felt, honest story. The threads of it is hinted at on message chats, it oozes through your processes, runnings like sweat from your knee caps... your daughters are aching to read it... your grandchildren, laying, cords unbroken need to hear it so they can come through to this world. You have a job to do... you have many jobs to do... one of them is to live your full , beating, bleeding, real, authentic life... and the next is to write it... to life.
I was listening to Druidic wisdom yesterday, part of the way they stay exclusive to society is that they memorises their stories and traditions in poetry then told it to each other... they wrote almost nothing down... the whispers of their magic and way of life are here only becuase a few brave people witnessed them, watched them and, eyes unclouded told what they saw...
The scarcest thing about writing is that it is an act of Alchemy and it changes the morphogenetic felid, a field in urgent need of transformation and healing, your words: no matter how wobbly, tired, crumbly or ecstatically alive are medicine for that field... Writing also changes you. Each thing I have written I have walked away as a different woman...
For centries women have been denied access to learning how to write, because of this. The silence of women's voices in literature is stark .. a loud screaming silencing... I was there when some of you crossed that line.. out of the silencing.. it was not quiet.. you were not silent... it was loud, real vital... that is the voice that needs to be written now.
Take space, write in volume, write great tombstones of books, leave them like stepping stones behind you. Write your colorful real story in the way only you can write it. Then write it again and again and again until the crickets go silent in the hot midnight air.... the women are waiting for you...
I holdspace for your story because I made a promise to and I am oh so scared... i was burned once for being the Witch that wrote... This life time I burn up from the inside if I do not write: Join me and other brave writers.

Legends, stories, journeys
from Women of Earth, all around the world.
In the Women of Earth Lab, end of June, I crossed the line from Patriarchy to Archiarchy and freed myself from the pressure of meritocracy, the pressure I put on myself in many situations in life. In my new culture, I live at my own pace and rhythm.
Two days after the lab, I experienced pain in my left shoulder blade that radiated into my left arm, as well as numbness in my left index finger and a loss of strength in my left arm. The pain in my left shoulder blade was so excruciating that I could not find a position where I could sleep at night and this pain persisted.
I realised that I could no longer "function" exactly as I was used to with these symptoms. I invested time in stretching my muscles, doing exercises, lying on pincushions, applying heat and so on out of the motivation that my working capacity would be restored quickly and I could "carry on".
This old concept of mine no longer works. During a Feelings Practitioner Coaching with Dagmar Thürnagel, it came out that the first time I felt this pain was when I was breastfeeding my daughter 24 years ago.
At the time, I was in conflict and wanted to give up my studies and just be a mum. The pressure of expectations around me from my husband, parents, parents-in-law and also within myself were so high that I made the decision to bow to them and grit my teeth, shoulder the burden of bringing up children, having a career, being a good wife etc. and adapt. I didn't know any alternative back then.
Today I make new decisions and I realise that I can't compensate and balance pressure with pressure. That my body is looking for a new form of slowness and rhythm for me to discover. That a bike ride is at a completely different pace with one arm on the handlebars, very slow movement and lots of breaks and that it's not about reaching a destination. That I don't run from mountain peak to mountain peak in the mountains, but instead look at what I need every day and if it's nothing, just lie in the meadow and look at the clouds.
That's my favourite activity at the moment: lying on a meadow or a hammock and listening to the sounds and colours and moods and impulses Gaia has for me.
I have trained very intensively in Possibility Management over the last two years, attended several Rage Clubs and a Fear Club, done many, many labs, my Mothergraduation and several chapters of Gremlintransformation, and I am also currently undergoing decontamination coaching.
My pattern is to put pressure on myself in this context too and to keep going, I have had several impulses for further training in the last two weeks and realised that I need something else now. Stillness and slowness and real connection to Gaia and I feel sad now as I write this. I feel fear of not knowing what will happen and I feel joy to be more and more in touch with myself and the power of our earth.
— Erika
The first few days I was between worlds ... no longer part of this powerful space that we created together and not yet fully present in my home again.
I gave myself time, gave my body time to re-sort itself. And it was more than just putting myself back together. It was also - as Christine Ploschenz described it - a dying, a burning in the fire of transformation. Parts, layers could come loose.
I am no longer who I was. I move through my day and I register things that were previously invisible, unconscious. I have changed my form so that these things - beliefs, behaviour, language - no longer fit me.
On Monday I feel pressure, combined with the idea - now I have to function again and at the weekend I can relax. What bullshit.
I make a conscious decision to do something. I don't burden it with the heaviness of "I have to".
While I'm doing it, I'm completely in the moment, stay in touch with myself and enjoy my breaks.
In the evening, I am amazed to realise how much I have created. Without pressure, without heaviness.
The old story - it's hard. If it wasn't hard, it's not worth it. ... - I let go. I am effective with joy and lightness.
Then I experience the recoil.
Doubts arise: That's naive. You won't change or achieve anything. The old world will catch you up and swallow you up. It's no good at all.
Confusion arises: What I experienced in the lab no longer seems true - I can't find the words to describe it and I seem to lose it again. The more I try to hold on to it, the more it slips away. It dissolves into the "old world", which has no expression for it because it doesn't exist there.
Dear woman of the earth. I am writing this because I don't want to give room to my doubts and confusion. I want something completely different than what is right now to be possible.
I am cavitating a new space in the "old world", in modern culture.
I am centred and grounded in my garden.
I decide in the now what my next step is.
I consciously choose my intensity and my pace.
I take radical responsibility for myself.
I have a team.
I call you. I meet you to be heard and to listen to you.
I hold the space for my fear with conscious anger.
I am present with all my feelings and celebrate life ... and I don't need a reason to do so.
I don't waste time and energy correcting and optimising the text.
It is what it is.
I love you.
— Sabine
I'm burning the idea of that always someone is judging me, and just scanning for why I am not good enough.
I'm burning the pressure to constantly prove myself, prove to others that I'm worthy for their company.
I am burning my academic past, where I had to always be top of the class to financially survive and be appreciated.
I am burning being in competition with you other women.
I am burning the idea of not having a team. I have. I had all the time. And I was blocking myself the past months from seeing it.
I am celebrating your steps and how you put on the table where you are and make yourself visible. I feel you and am with you.
I love you team.
— Juliane
Today I went to the local supermarket to buy some cheese. The lady at the long counter was all alone and obviously stressed. When it was my turn she came to me and thanked me for my patience. We got to talking and she had obviously been bullied by her boss for not being fast enough serving the customers.
I invited her to take a deep breath, pause for a moment and get an awareness of her own kindness with which she is serving us all, and, most of all, to be aware of her worthiness as a woman with the strength to decide not to let the aggression of that man shake her center. Although the boss could be seen from afar, she visibly relaxed and we had a real heart to heart moment.
I felt sadness. And anger. And f*ing ALIVE with all these feelings while connecting to her as a sister.

Dear sisters,
I will not let you declare me a dangerous woman and turn me into a perpetrator. I'll tell you clearly what I want and I want to hear what you want. I don't expect you to agree with me, I'm open to hearing your perspective. I want to negotiate with you without sacrificing my integrity and dignity.
I want you to make your own decision and take responsibility for it. I want to co-create with you and for that I want you to be clear and responsible.
I want you to honestly share with me what you think and feel instead of making stories about me.
And I do the same for you.
I have learnt to enter reality and to be in a small now without concepts. I no longer have to fight - against myself, against you, against men.
I feel real love and appreciation for myself like never before.
And I love you, no matter what. I celebrate that I can see even more clearly what game is being played and that I can angrily tell you that I am not available for it. AND at the same time have a full YES to being in relationship with you and negotiating intimacy with you.
My commitment to you is greater than your commitment to your or my own survival strategies.
I feel joy about my clarity in connection with my capacity to receive, hold and give love.
— Sabine
I am burning away to do jobs, that no one does.
I am burning of to answer before I have an answer.
I am burning of to be nice.
I am burning of to speak before I have something to say.
I am burning of to be only centered grounded and bubbled in relation to GAIA.
I am centered, grounded and bubbled being with women now.
I am burning of to belong.
I am burning of to know it.
I burn for!
I am burning of what I should want!
I am burning of to avoid resting.
I am burning of old baggage.
I am burning of the self hate, the punishing myself.
I am burning of to shrink my life force away.
I am burning of the hiding to collude with the colonial patriarchal paradigm.
I am burning of wanting to belong anywhere else to other people than to GAIA in and of itself.
We need all of us back!
Trust is a decision especially trusting myself. Punishing myself as a white person does nothing for collective liberation. I am burning of to leak my energy to that.
I am burning of scarcity and holding on to resources because I am a source!Holding on to resources makes the scarcity. Makes it so the fear of not being or having enough is there.
We are only as well as the collective. We are only as well as our relationships!
— Christine
Since I returned from this great experience to be with 40 other women navigating out of patriarchy, I feel myself so much softer than usual. Everything is touching me so deep and I feel like I did in the time when I was pregnant. It can be a song, a cat walking across the street, looking at me, … itself cleaning my flat touches me so deeply. I feel sadness … or I am liquid? However, I feel so alive and connected with myselve and with all of us.
— Cornelia
I am noticing that I am much more alert towards men. As if some naivite had slipped off me like an old skin. I am missing the expansiveness inside me that took space during the days just amongst women. It could have gone on and on. Sometimes I am afraid that I will become too "intolerant" towards men in general. And I let that story go again. It is as it is.
My days are filled with commitment to the things that turn me on. I visited a fellow Possibilitators gardenproject today and started making a film about her. I don't know how that goes but I just started. Next Wednesday I will interview this woman who takes off concrete and regenerates soil. I am pushing forward with my foodforest plans and all of this is so fulfilling. The de-babtizing really works.
Life IS about celebration!!!
— Eva
Dear Women. I witnessed Women in their rawest form. Beyond stories, beyond conditioning. What I witnessed was magnificent. I witnessed women transform from lifelessness to forces of nature, moved by something vital that came through them. I felt my own incompetence of being in the extreme delicacy of space when the Being of Woman is emerging into form. I exited patriarchy through the hands, bodies, voices, roars of women, hands that delivered me through my own struggle, my own harnessing of my rawest strength into the fresh air of the yet to be sourced. When the lab ended I gieved the magic we had found, magic only possible by going together, by opening my eyes and letting other women into me, letting other women pull out if me what is struggling into form. I lay tucked in bed after wards and found in my heart one moment of deep love i experienced with every single of the 15 other women branded preciously in me, my shape forever changed by the touch of their beings. I am metamorphous, liquid gooey and essential.
— Millicent
Dear women,
I have changed. I am different now.
I keep noticing this and I wonder how five days with you could have had such an impact on me.
I have found my own pace again. I am slower. I do one thing at a time and then I do the next thing - no longer trying to do stunningly successful several things at a time and get admiration (gremlin extasy) out of it.
Also I am fully present with what I am doing. A five body presence that I have missed and enjoy now very much.
I don’t speak much louder yet. But I am even clearer in my words than before. And there is something behind these words that makes a big difference. I mean them. And people around me can feel that.
Most interestingly, I notice people change around me. They adapt to my new Self. I am in awe and I wonder.
Sometimes it feels like I can do magic now and I am so afraid of losing it again. And I find in myself that being afraid in a way of doubting, holding back, being nice would exactly make it go away.
So I keep standing here, holding my space, feeling my fear. And I want to commit myself, right here and right now, that I will be there when we meet again next year.

NOTE: This website is a Bubble in the Bubble Map of the free-to-play, massively-multiplayer, online-and-offline, thoughtware-upgrade, matrix-building, personal-transformation, adventure-game called StartOver.xyz. It is a doorway to experiments that upgrade your thoughtware so you can create more possibility. Your knowledge is what you think about. Your thoughtware is what you use to think with. When you change your thoughtware, you go through a liquid state as your mind reorganizes itself. Liquid states can bring up transformational feelings and emotions. By upgrading your thoughtware you build matrix to hold more consciousness and leave behind a life of reactivity. No one can upgrade your thoughtware for you. No one can stop you from upgrading your thoughtware. Our theory is that when we collectively build 1,000,000 new Matrix Points we will change the morphogenetic field of the human race for the better. Please choose responsibly to read this website. Reading this whole website is worth 1 Matrix Point. Doing any of the experiments earns you additional Matrix Points.
