Recently, I sat down with Venessa Rodriguez who hosts the podcast “Feed Your Wild“.
Of our conversation, Venessa says:
In this episode, we discuss:
How Chris started the Wild Woman Project, and how it has grown from 1 new moon circle to hundreds in over 18 countries
The power of the circle “architecture” and what sits as the heart of her mission with community circles
What is the “wild woman” archetype and what can she do for us
Chris’ past experience as an actor, director, participating in Vagina Monologues and the start of her spiritual journey into the wild woman path with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ book Women Who Run with the Wolves
Why Chris believes we need to turn toward the natural world, and how she went from living in NYC to the countryside and into the wilderness
Why Chris believes there’s nothing more natural than women circles
What does a community circle look like – Chris breaks down the different elements of a women’s circle, and the themes of focus in the Wild Woman Project circles
What prompted Chris to begin leading circles, the “audacity” of leadership, and how to start leading circles of your own
How facilitating circles has impacted Chris’ life
The shift in consciousness and way of relating that can unfold when we regularly commune in circle with one another
How we can use the community circles and spiritual connection to the Divine Feminine consciousness to navigate the hardships within our individual lives and the greater collective experience (ie violence against Mother Earth, people, etc)
Chris’ “digital detox”, getting connected In Real Life, and the yearly Wild Woman Fest
Chris’ vision for Wild Woman Project for 2020 and beyond, and what’s feeding her wild
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.
Belonging to a circle makes me feel like I have a support system of sisters even if I only see them once a month. When I am out of circle, to me they feel like the stars, always there and within reach, but living and growing in their own sense. It makes me feel connected.
Beautiful, Allison ♥️
