About the Wild Woman Initiation Series
The Wild Woman Project came to me in a flash, a vision & it wouldn’t let me go. So, I listened. The Wild Woman archetype has been initiating me ever since. Through various experiences, which have mostly been about untangling what is true & what is not true in my own being, I have come ever closer to the wild woman within. I am a student, servant, guardian to this project who’s mission is to to awaken women to their most authentic, undomesticated nature, so they may feel like themselves, all the time, no apologies. I am sharing the 13 most important lessons I’ve learned about the path of the Wild Woman over the next few months. May it be useful.

And the Wild Woman said to me,
“You can see the act or you can see the feeling behind the act.
You can hear the words or listen to intention behind them.
You can see the flawed human in the mirror or you can acknowledge the perfectly eccentric soul gazing back at you.
Your choice.”

On my journey into seeing deeper I have whirled with Sufis, sung with the Catholics, breathed with the Yogis, sat with the Buddists, hiked with the mountain people, drawn with the artists, fire danced with the women of the woods, listened to the plants, felt into the planets & starstuff. I’ve journaled, read poetry & sacred scripture & modern personal development books. I spent intimate time with the archetypes in astrology, the tarot, goddesses of all pantheons & the chakra system. I’ve been guided to the ways that others have found meaning, understanding & gained spiritual strength.
I’ve wept in gratitude to those awakened souls who have walked the path of truth before us and took notes for us to read!
These maps have helped me to see, to see that this physical world we are in is a playground for our souls to dance, to experience & to learn.

As I learn to see deeper, the world becomes more interesting. Everything is alive. I can see the magic working behind the scenes.
What I did not anticipate when I started was this: as you see the love & meaning behind the mundane, your joy & fulfillment rises greatly. And thus far, I can report this phenomenon of rising only seems to get stronger. ~~~
So, dear soul, in your Wild Woman Initiation, may you seek out the tools and maps and keep remembering…
Lesson 3: When moving through the wilderness of life, develop the eyes to see: look deeper, see more & feel into the truth behind the truth.
