I’m looking at You: Seekers & Yoginis & Meditators & Community Organizers & Feminists & Activists & Spiritual Guides & Teachers of all walks, Awakened Artists & Conscious Creators & Prayerful Ones & Healers & Helpers & Seers & Awakened Hearts & all those who, in some way, are beacons of light for those around them.
It is no accident, dear friends, that in the past couple of decades the industry of stress management & wellness has exploded. It is not a coincidence that the number of yoga practitioners in the United States has nearly doubled in the past 4 years. The percentage of female entrepreneurs in the United States has grown by 30% in the last decade. Healing and Helping professions are on the rise.
We have been building an army of light workers.
American Cultural Anthropologist, Margaret Mead, wrote:
“We are continually faced with great opportunities which are brilliantly disguised as unsolvable problems.”
In the midst of the necessary destruction that always proceeds creation, we the people, stand the chance of losing heart, losing clarity & losing our power to create.
This is not an option for light workers.
This generation, those of us who are alive now, have a BIG collective contract to fulfill – together.
And we will need our practices- the ones that keep us grounded and heart-centered,
we will need the fruit of the spiritual study we have been in,
we will need to breathe and take care of our bodies and minds,
we will need our fellow soldiers – our beloved community,
we will need, now-more-than-ever, the ability to stay awake – no matter what,
we will need to remember the depth of our co-creative powers,
we will need to reach out our hands and work together in wisdom and love,
we will need our divinely inspired action,
we will need the light inside.
One of the things we must remember about the Civil Rights Movement is that it was deeply spiritual. Leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were anchored in non-violence and unapologetically rooted in spirit & faith – light.
Can you make some space this weekend to get quiet & turn inward?
Can be with your inner guidance now?
Will you dare ask the wisdom inside of you, what shall I do now?
How can I bring the light now?
And then – and this is big – can you take inspired action?
This is the moment we’ve been practicing for.
On the Horizon

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.
Yes! Right on, Chris <3 This says it all.

Proud, heart taps.
One of the political organizations I belong to does ‘Calling In’ training which teaches techniques for compassionately asking others to consider your point of view rather than calling them out for things you disagree with. This makes so much sense as a strategy.
I have also witnessed groups, that want the same thing, go head to head on how to accomplish it… very frustrating! We’re not going to get anywhere if we are not kind to each other.
I’ve struggled to figure out how I can best contribute to the political efforts right now. Maybe my Gemini moon sign is a clue. I’m not sure that I have a strong enough voice to make a huge impact, so I like this idea of an army of light workers.
Thank you for this!
