with Love,
Chris

HERB FOR THE NEW MOON WITH COLE LOPEZ
Up in Smoke: White Ceremonial Sage Smudge
The Offering:
Light the end of the sage bundle and fan the swirls of smoke around your body with your hand or a feather. Spend some extra time on areas where you feel blockages or stagnant energy. Envision the smoke lifting away all the negative thoughts, emotions and energies that have attached themselves to your field.
This practice will dust off the debris of the energy body, and calm the mind & spirit.
As founder of House of Magick, Cole Lopez brings a unique yet cohesive blend of offerings. Her old-world herbal remedies which draw upon her lifelong kinship with plants, her practice of healing traditions, and also her astrological amulets that are beautifully crafted and bound to powerful stones, texts, essential oils and Reiki blessings.

CIRCLE LEADER SPOTLIGHT
Danielle Gismondi, North Adams, MA
Leading my circle has taught me that my deep inner knowing has been right every single time. Leading my circle has taught me that the depth of my connection with other women is an endless well from which I can give and receive wisdom and love freely. I have learned a new capacity as a leader, and a true sense of what community can be.
I hold my circles at the most beautiful yoga studio in the Berkshires, Frog Lotus Yoga. It is inside an old cotton mill and its floor was hand laid by volunteers training to be yoga teachers. So many blessing have been shared in that space, so it’s potent and auspicious as well as a second home to me, as I’ve taught yoga there since 2009. I’ve had anywhere from 6 to 12 women attend circle and I have a core tribe who come almost every month. They are all amazing in every imaginable way.
Wild Women of North Adams, MAI am currently listening to a sweet little duo called Barnaby Bright, my local indie music station 102.7 WEQX and always listening to Fleetwood Mac and Peter Gabriel. I started Women Who Run with the Wolves recently and surprise! (Okay not really!) I love it. I’m also reading 90 Minutes in Heaven and the second Outlander book. Too many things!

We have Wild Woman Project-trained Circle facilitators is 26 countries, and 44 out of the 50 United States.
Chris Maddox is the founder of The Wild Woman Project where she teaches women how to utilize the gifts of the Wild Woman Archetype in their everyday lives & how to lead women’s circles in their local communities. She is the organizer & facilitator of the beloved annual WILD WOMAN FEST, a women’s retreat-festival hybrid which fosters a deep connection to nature, a direct experience of the divine feminine & profound spiritual sisterhood among the women in attendance.
An ever student of the great mysteries of existence and nature itself, Chris believes women are holding innate gifts & tools that society at large needs – now more than ever. She is committed to helping women remember their special magic and to bring it forward into every corner of their lives, for the greater good of the planet.
With squares and semi-squares and an Aquarius edge, it’s all about the angles. It’s the way you look at things . As you get older, your perspective changes. Over time you hear different opinions, read different things, gather new information. Maybe flashes of insight change your thinking.
