WILD WOMAN RISING
Dear First name / friend,
Hey hey hey. Well, you've been with me a while now, so you'll know that I've been deep in my own alchemy process over the last few years… and there's no signs of it stopping…so in case you didn't really know what I'm always banging on about, I thought I would let you in! And I'm nothing if not eye wateringly honest about my journey!
WILD WOMAN AWAKENING
These last few (approximately 8) years have been INCREDIBLE in my own personal, spiritual evolution. Incredible in terms of expansion, but also in their sheer RAW, MESSY, REAL-NESS.
They've been a rollercoaster, a burning down, a breaking apart, into so many pieces, a disintegrating of so many old, (necessary at their inceptions) versions of self, in order to over and over, birth new, yet paradoxically, OLD in their origin, versions of myself. Not only are they old in terms of SOUL age, they are old in terms of ancestral memory, and of soul rememberings.
This might all sound (I realise) so “woo woo” so let me break it down for you.
YOUR SOUL CHOSE YOU
My understanding through all of this, is that at a very basic level, we are all a soul who has chosen this body, this moment in time, to experience life through. And when our soul chooses this human life, and is birthed through the portal of our mother's body, we forget all of that. We forget why we came here. Or that we even did come here.
And so then, our experience of this life is essentially, pure. But one day, and that day is different for everyone, some people wake up to a realisation that we've diverted from our original path. (more on what this feels like later) And our assignment is to remember.
Along the way, we pick up all sorts of things. Generational trauma, childhood trauma, social, cultural and familial conditionings, expectations, beliefs etc. etc.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT
And our job is to shed all those layers, and RETURN back to our true, authentic selves. So THIS is what I teach. Through yoga, through meditation, through these emails, my “calling” as it were, is to live my experience and share it with you. Whether you want it or not! LOL!
Now, I don't claim to know the overarching reason for all of this…but as a person who feels things deeply on both an emotional, spiritual AND energetic level, I can only surmise that the energy of the shedding and unravelling, which leads to a high frequency healing energy can only be a good thing for our world, and to a greater degree, Universally.
Why? I have no idea. I'm just doing it and hoping for the best on a “collective” level! But as well as that, it makes me FEEL amazing.
HOW IT'S BEEN
Eight years ago, I did NOT feel amazing. I was lost; full of self loathing, disgusted with my whole self, outside and in. I was paralysed with self doubt, constantly outsourcing validation from friendships, material belongings and other external accoutrements. I was afraid of everything, afraid to try, afraid to fail, afraid to be who I was, and most of the time, I didn't even know WHO I was anyway. Life felt like I was just being pulled here and there. It's quite miraculous that I managed to get where I eventually ended up!
The person I am today is someone completely different. I feel awake, perceptive, connected, sure, safe, loved, strong, compassionate, worthy and purposeful. It's INSANE how far I've come.
In fact, If you were to ask me what I am proudest of? It wouldn't be anything that I've created or achieved, it would be that I'm SO proud of how far I've come. Of the transformation that I've undergone. I'm so proud of the person I am today.
SPIRITUAL ALCHEMY
And the transformation that I've undergone, I've termed “SPIRITUAL ALCHEMY”.
Alchemy means “the seemingly magical process of transformation” and spiritual, well, because its not a physical transformation, its mental, emotional, energetic, ethereal = spiritual.
And off the back of my own alchemical journey, I've been working to translate the process into an offering. I've been mentoring on a one to one basis for a couple of years now, which is unbelievably rewarding, and of course, bespoke to the individual. So I will continue to offer this.
But I've also been creating a self study course which encompasses nearly all of the work that I have had to do on myself personally to find myself where I am now, but contained in a capsule for anyone to choose to take on if they wish. It is such a labour of love (I've been building it for a YEAR already), with my intention being to support anyone who has arrived at the point in their lives when they realise they're not who or where or what they were meant to be. I am aiming to have it finished by mid July. Fingers crossed.
RECLAIMING THE CRONE
A very different offering that I've been creating is something that has come about through my own journey again, of being a woman, of being pre-menopausal and peri-menopausal, and encompasses teachings, wisdom, guidance, support and healing modalities to help women come to a place of deep understanding, self acceptance, container of deep empowerment as they transition into the next phase of our womanhood.
Because you know what? I am so fucking SICK of the narrative that women are less valuable after a certain age. I'm so sick of the idea that we LOSE our magnetism, or power after we are no longer “young”. FUCK THAT SHIT.
Personally I feel 100 times more powerful, stronger, wiser, and YES VALUABLE being the woman I am today than the ingenue I was at 20.
THE CRONE, THE MATRIARCH, THE WITCH
In years long since passed, the elder woman of the tribe was THE most valuable, most revered, most respected. She had ALL the knowledge, passed down from matriarch to matriarch. She was the woman hunted down under the word “witch” due to the power she had, but didnt wield like a weapon. She used her power and wisdom to heal, to support, to nurture and to draw the rest of her tribe, or village UP to greater heights.
AND THIS is what I want to create. A new era of women who STEP INTO the identity of the CRONE. The village elder, the matriarch, the WITCH - Woman In Total Control of Herself.
This is what I'm building as an offering to you. A modern day coven, if you will!
It's going to have SO MUCH deep, rich, juicy wisdom, so many levels, so much room for expansion, it's going to be literally a TRIBE of unstoppable, unfuckwithable women. Women who are so open, so kind, so soft, so fucking STRONG, so resilient, so powerful, it's going to be like the Amazonian's are BACK.
So when you crack open your delicious package of richness, you will find so much inside: in person gatherings, online meets, monthly video footage of somatic psycho-spiritual practices, weekly inspiration and support, collaborations, guest speakers and LOADS more juicy goodness. And I can't wait to share it properly with you. I'll keep you posted.
Sending love as always xx
