Dear One,
Here we are, underneath a New Moon, a Dark Moon, in August 2021. What a fascinating & intense time to be alive, in this beautiful broken world.
We begin this Moon Cycle, the final in the To Wield Love series, with an offering, from my home to yours.
This talk & practice is about Love & Fear, and what the dance of the two means for wild women in the modern world. Feel free to make yourself comfy, perhaps outside somewhere & let’s be together.
After you’ve taken in the talk and played with the “Love through the senses” practice, in the comments here, I’d love to hear from you: Where do you see love? Where do you smell love? Where do you hear love? Where do you feel love? Where do you taste love? ♥️

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.
I see love in the stars and moon and night sky. I smell love in the dirt and ancient trees and pine forests of my ancestors. I hear love in the sound of the raven babies as they await their mama’s breakfast gathering. I taste love when I tip the teacup to my lips and taste the herbaceous goodness of Earl Grey tea. I feel love when on a mountainside and a breeze wafts up from the valley to embrace me.
THANK YOU FOR THIS SERIES. This was my first dive into Wild Woman School and I truly LOVED every session, every moment. Thank you.
Beautiful, Paula!
And you are very very welcome. Thank you for being a part of the sessions.
Looking forward to more in the Fall!
