CIRCLE THEME OF THE MONTH
Opening to Beauty
Each month, in Wild Woman Circle, we gather around a different theme, inspired by the Astrological placement of the new moon. This Circle Journey is inspired by the New Moon Libra. Libra is the 2nd Air Sign in the Zodiac, Ruler of the 7th house of partnership & is ruled by Venus, planet of love a beauty.
Key Words for this circle:: Spaciousness (Air Influence), Beauty (Venus Influence), Connection (7th house area). Collaboration (7th house area), Relationship (7th house area)
HERBS FOR THE NEW MOON WITH COLE LOPEZ
Herbal Bath: ♀The Venusian Kiss
The New Moon in Libra is the time to open to beauty. The planet Venus is bestowing us with the greatest of blessings and offering up her sacred kiss. Float on air by balancing those Libran scales. Let yourself be absorbed in wonder, delight and all that inspires beauty deep within you.
-Venusian Bath-
Rose Petal + Rosehip Seed Oil + Sea Salt
Just add a cup of organic dried rose petals to a half gallon jar, add hot water, put on the lid, and steep for an hour. Next, run a bath and strain the tea into the bathtub. Then, add three tablespoons of Rosehip seed oil to a cup of sea salt and add the mixture to the bath.
Steep yourself in pure decadence! Quality organic herbs are available at Flower Power Roots & Herbs. Visit or have herbs delivered.

WILD WOMAN CELEBRATION
After her 40 Day WILD WOMAN TRANSFORMATION:
“”I had such a profound experience during my 40 Day Transformation. Chris truly provides you with a program that is personalized to what your needs are and what is aching to be explored.
As a result of her program, I developed a stronger connection to my inner wisdom and learned how to live IN my creativity. I have a stronger sense of who I truly am now and I can live a more vibrant life because of it! I strongly recommend this to anyone who feels “stuck” in a place in their life (like I was) and is looking for a way out! You will NOT regret it.”
