1. No matter what I am going through, there is someone who can relate. We are never as alone in our experience as we think we are.
2. The adventure of life is cyclical. Each cycle has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Then repeats, each time with new flavors and new themes.
3. The best leaders stand shoulder to shoulder with the group, understanding they are not above, but a part of the whole.
4. There are countless simple and powerful ways to help a group of strangers connect.
5. Wild Women long to connect below the surface. That longing is part of their magic, and the magic of Circle.
6. Cackling is medicine.
7. Tears are balm.
8. Dynamism is everything; We need silence and story, stillness and dancing, height and depth.
9. The spiritual guidance we need lies within.
10. When we listen in, together, we can hear with more clarity.
11. Women are magical creatures who are remembering what they are capable of.
12. Modern women have only begun to scratch the surface of their innate gifts.
13. The innate gifts of women make them extremely powerful. Which is part of the reason there has been such a vast historical smear campaign against women themselves, and the nature of their gifts.
14. The more you make space to listen to your inner guidance, and then, most importantly, ACT ON IT, the more inner guidance you will have access to.
15. A belief is a spell. Call it magic or call it the placebo effect – It matters not. If you ask me, the placebo effect makes a case for magic.
16. When women come together, we set ourselves free.
17. Listen closely when the quiet ones speak.
18. Feeding the senses helps us to experience life from the inside. Sensing from the inside is a lost art we cultivate in circle.
19. Candlelight and flowers make everything better.
20. Always, always pack the tissues.
21. Keep dreaming. Your dreams will guide you home.

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.
Lovely. Thank you.
You’re so welcome!
We use our breath… we breathe together… and howl!
Yessss!
