On the Horizon
Join an international, intergeneration group of weird and wonderful wild-hearted Women in our online Cave (which lives on an app)!
We meet weekly in Circles, Workshops, Practices to keep our wild spirits lit!
Upcoming Weekly Gatherings:
Join us for an hour-long New Moon Meditation Adventure on May 7th!
Online, from anywhere.
Using a dynamic meditation journey, we will tune into the New Moon, to your own Inner Guidance, synced up with wild-hearted women from around the world. This offering will include music, storytelling, meditation, journaling prompts & intention-setting.
Can’t make it live? No worries. All participants will receive a copy of the recording with 24 hours of the session.
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.
I felt something tremendous on the first day of dropping my son off at school with no mask. I didn’t think it would hit me so hard, but he started school during the pandemic so he had never once been without covering his face. We pulled up and saw the principal’s, teacher’s, and staff’s smiles for the first time, in two years, and for us, ever. It just felt like a moment of ‘we made it’ and reconnecting. And of course, I cried.❤
What a beautiful moment 💓 Thank you so much for sharing, Sarah.
YAS this spring feels like the blooming of so many things planted that have been under all the pressure. My song as of most recently is “get free” MEREBA
So happy to hear that, Love! Will check out the song for sure. 💓
After three years, my friends and I were finally able to meet at our annual meeting place in a beautiful area of Northern MA, right on the VT border. It had been so long since we’d come together to talk – face to face – to laugh, to hike, to sauna, to create, to dance and to feast! Though our circle was smaller than before, the experience was more potent and more healing. My cup was filled to the brim with love and the simple fellowship of being human ❤️
Lately, Sia’s song “ Floating Through Space” has really resonated with me. First because it reminds me that we are all the same on this planet. Second, as I experience difficulty in my life that I could never imagine, it reminds me that “I made it through another day”. ❤️
I so appreciate the relief you and so many others are having right now. Unfortunately for those of us with dys-ability and medical problems , this is not the case. We are still needing to be cautious. We are still masked and apart but need the Spring and Renewal. It is so complicated. I want you to celebrate, I want the children running wild, I celebrate for you but we can’t celebrate yet. Consider us. This is not over for us yet.
Dear Emilie-Anne,
Yes, there are as many experiences of these times as there are humans on the planet. I cannot know the details of your experience and you can’t know mine. It’s been an incredibly complicated time, and it still is. I never said it was over, but shared that something new was happening in my community. I have cancelled my live gatherings for two years out of consideration for people who are more vulnerable, health-wise. I even cancelled my wedding and eloped instead – out of consideration. I hope you can see that by me telling a story of a beautiful, healing moment I experienced in my community, it does not negate your experience, nor is it an indication that I haven’t considered the experiences of others. Wishing you a healthy, beautiful Spring of renewal. Love, Chris
Oooh, can’t wait to give that one a listen 💓. Thanks for sharing, Lisa R. Xo
The words and rhythm of this song really spoke to me (and made me get up and move)! Thanks for that!
YAY! So glad you like it, Sasha!
I love this post, thank you for sharing. Here in Maine, it is the same!
I saw Trevor Hall recently, another situation of multiple reschedulings. I’ve been listening to the album In and Through the Body daily lately, and it is really healing my soul!
Ah, Maddie! That’s so wonderful to hear 💓 I do love me some Trevor Hall. Thanks for sharing!
Love this! Thank you, Chris! We celebrated my daughter’s wedding last weekend…finally. They were married in a very small ceremony last summer. This was the big celebration with their friends and extended families! My best friend, Sue, and I (both 63) hadn’t seen each other in 2 1/2 years. We danced all out to “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” by Whitney Houston. What a blessing!
What a great moment! So happy you got to have it 💓 Thanks for sharing, Eileen!
Yes, I can feel and see new life springing up all around me. The parks fields are full with children playing soccer, children playing together and the parks are once again alive with art festivals, open markets and people with no masks. There are people dancing and singing in the streets at a street fare. In our neighborhood, we are gathering again to say hello.
Blessings all around to everyone. The song that I have been listening to lately is “These are the days” by Van Morrison. It is beautiful and radiates love and gratitude 💜💜💜
Yes, Tish! Love that one. Thank you for sharing 💓
So wonderful to hear, Darcie. Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful picture of what you are seeing 💓
There are certain songs that require a turn up the volume moment…. Stronger by Kelly Clarkson and Just Like Fire by Pink. Songs with strength and elevation that remind you of your own internal power. A power that we sometimes have to remember to turn up when we face those bleak times.
Such a good point (and tool), Doris! Thanks for sharing 💓 May we turn it up 💛
Thank You Chris for that heartfelt and inspiring ‘Spring Share’! I am also so very grateful to be enjoying Mother Gaia’s gifts this season, seeing everyone’s beautiful faces, hearing laughter, and freely hugging friends and family.
One new experience for me that is contributing to my personal healing is Ecstatic Dancing. I didn’t even know what ecstatic dance was!!! Move however you feel called to move! No right. No wrong. No judgement! (Also, no alcohol, drugs, cell phones or talking).
I’m fortunate that my daughter is a DJ (LexyNell1 on Spotify).
She was invited to DJ an Ecstatic Dance at a local Yoga Community Arts Center here in Wilmington, NC. Everyone was so excited and happy to be able to DANCE again
(it had been 2 years for some and for others like me, it was a first for this type of dance).
Music and movement really helps move the trauma through and out of our body and raises our vibration individually and collectively. So C’mon everybody…Get Your Dance On!!!
Yes, Amy!
🙌🏽 Ecstatic dance 🙌🏽
Thank you for sharing! I haven’t been to a session since the before times. You have inspired me to go back. Thank you!
YES to live music! Dancing and singing together! As for a song that is resonating with me lately: “Look Up” by Joy Oladokun.
