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.
Thank you for sharing with us. My “awakening” to the divine feminine came through a wonderful, powerful woman named Meg last week. She told me to repeat this mantra: “I will not let any one pervert my sensuality or sexuality.” This was so important to me after growing up Catholic. I am free now….from being made to feel shamed for being feminine.
Yes, Susan. Love that 💕
At the age of 17 years old I attended a party up in the beautiful welsh hills. During my teenage years I had struggled with my body image and also with my spirituality. As I danced away with my friends a beautiful women older enough to be my grandmother approached me. She took my hand and said ‘you are a goddess’ then hugged my tightly before dancing away. I felt like a bolt of electricity had been fired through me and suddenly it all made sense..we are all part of of the divine feminine. Everything I had been searching for was already within me. It was life changing.
Chills! Beautiful, beautiful! Thank you for sharing, Rachel. xo
Hayley Williams of Paramore has always captivated me by her voice and lyrics. If you listen to the live version in Chicago of “Last Hope” you will witness an unfolding of utter empowerment & will to survive despite life’s pain & struggles. And she’s like, so not afraid to show this to the world and lift up others. In the performance, you will see how she encourages the crowd to participate too, singing out lyrics that swell up your heart and let it burst through the rumble of your shout & voice. I love it. It’s a great song.
Listening to the song now, Krystine. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. xo
The first time reading the book Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. How can something written in 1847 be this soul-melting? Messages of feminism, and independence woven through a classic love story.
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”
Yes, Chelsea! Totally soul-melting! Thank you for sharing. xo
I’ve always wondered who Oprahs mentor was- and since doing more research about Maya Angelou and your great affinity for her series, I feel called to study the books myself!
The title, “I know why the caged bird sings,” speaks to the vast nooks and crannies of my soul.
Thank you for sharing, sister! **heart taps** <3
There have been an infinite instances where women have inspired a light within me… in fact, I could honestly claim that it happens in one way or another every day.
Just this morning during a yoga class I was inspired by a young woman practicing in the back.
She followed the sequence through her own unique and divine grace, completely unaffected and unbothered by the external world. Watching her flow was like watching a dove glide and glisten amongst the heavens…
This beautiful goddess kept her eyes closed throughout the entire practice and I admit it was extremely challenging not to become completely entranced by her grace. Through her self expression, I realized just how far and deep passion can go.
May we deepen our connection with spirit and flow through our own unique rhythms each and every day… by grace, with grace, through grace.
ps. You never know who might be watching- completely and utterly inspired by your light!
Be the BEST you!

Yes, Obsidian! Beautiful reminder of the inspiration living all around us.
Big love to you!
Words from the short story, “Look What We Found.” A fiction about coming upon a matriarchal society and how to treat a woman. Written by me, Heather MacLean. Let me know if you want to read the rest.
“I love being heard! This feels great like a waterfall washing away the grim of my silence. When I get home and men ignore what I say I will no longer put up with it. I’ll let them know I’m worth hearing. I matter!” Susie triumphantly stated.
Love the quote! and sounds like a beautiful & inspiring story too! Thank you for sharing, Heather. xo
Many years ago, friend shared with me, her experience of losing her first ( and healthy) baby in childbirth, and how after she cuddled the baby for several hours, loving him, admiring him and grieve over him. I was overwhelmed by her strength and her love. And it began a slow evolution in my soul.
In the last decade when first my cherished mother in law and later my father, passed away,
I participated in preparing them for their funerals. As I dressed them, I talked to them,, I cried and I laughed and it was an amazing way to honour them. It was a gift that helped me move through the grieving process gently without regrets and with greater healing.
I owe that to my friend for sharing her experience with me
This may not seem uplifing, but it truly was healing, especially in my father’s case as we had often been at odds through our lives.
What a treasure your friend shared with you. So glad her words helped support you through the tender times you had. Thank you so much for sharing, Sarah. xo
‘Women who dared not to hide.’ ‘Remember when you have been moved, changed by the voices of women.’ WOW! Love this post. Thank you for your voice and all of the voices in this tribe.
A few voices come to mind…
Elizabeth Lesser
Her book, Broken Open, touched me deeply. I carried this book with me for years. It helped me to wake up and break open further.

“Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” This is keeps opening up more and more to me. To pay attention… simple and complex.

Her lyrics, her boldness, her courage, her rawness… she inspires me! One of her posts, led my friend to introduce me to the amazing book, Burning Woman, by Lucy Pearce.

Mystical friend who came into my life by chance. From beginning to end, every engagement was magical. My last visit with her, just a few weeks before her death, she asked me… “Are you a witch?” With no previous witchy lifestyle, my feeling and intuitive response, “Yes.” Her response, “Takes one to know one.” She opened a window, door, field and world!

This wise yogini invited me into the world of ‘more BEING, doing through being’ and helped me to rediscover a deep connection with myself.
Humbled. Grateful. Love.
When I was 16 years old I stood outside of Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley and noticed a crowd gathering – I joined them peering over shoulders and saw the most beautiful woman in the world. She was dancing, slowly and simply. One gesture pierced me straight to the heart – she was crouched down with only her back truly visible and began to unfurl. As she lifted her her arm overhead, opening her hand to the sky and then followed that gesture with her eyes until all that was visible was the movement of her focus into space – I knew, just knew that that was what I wanted to do…to dance, to open to the universe with a simple gesture and invite people to join me. simply, magnificently into being human inside the universe.
Wow ♥️
Amazing.
Thank you for sharing, Cassielle.
You. Chris Maddox, you changed the trajectory of my life. You created a space where I could explore being a woman and be loud, soft and fierce. To release what doesn’t serve me and to find the guides I needed, like Sara Goff. Whose guidance helps me navigate the world with my heart, mind, soul connected no longer fractured and confused.
And Fay Simpson, who is fierce and full of grace and guided me to you, to try this new thing…explore what being a wild woman means
Thank you so much, Jenny ♥️
It’s an honor to know you and grow with you all these years.
Love love
There are many women who have impacted me magically. Today I want to honor you, Chris. I was searching online during the early days of the lock down under
” moon, women, gathering”…boom!, there you were inviting women to the 1st Immersion.
It was SO BEAUTIFUL to meet and connect with sisters around the world for 4 weeks while honoring the 4 elements. It was magical, mystical and exactly what my heart and soul needed!!!
You are a magical soul and I thank you for sharing your grace, wisdom, magic, and laughter with us all. I, In turn, share it with my women friends in circle….sharing and spreading our Heart Lights:)
~ WE ARE ALL MAGIC WOMEN~
Thank you so much, Tish! It’s such a joy to know you and a blessing to have shared so much space ♥️
I would like to acknowledge my mom as the women who shaped me. When the culture said to put her mentally disabled child in an institution she said, “Never!”. When religious leaders blamed and shamed parents as the reason for children having disabilities, she was not swayed and only listened to the messages of ascended masters “Forgive them, they know not what they do.” She modeled unconditional love and for that I am so deeply grateful especially when I witness so many parents put conditions on their love. She also modeled being content and happy with what you have, singing and swaying to music that filled the air while doing dishes or cleaning. Last but not least, she showed me to go after what you want or need even if your spouse or society is not in agreement. Love, acceptance, strength, joy and contentment…she continues to inspire me even from the other side of that very, thin veil. Sending much love to you Mom! xo
What a beautiful tribute to your amazing mother! Thanks so much for sharing, Amy ♥️
