NOTE FROM CHRIS
Dearest,
We are just over half way through the moon cycle.
How are things unfolding for you?
What new opportunities, discoveries, feelings, people, understanding have entered your life since November 22nd (the new moon)?
~~~
I ask because I have noticed the power and importance of being awake to the passage of time. The moon cycle helps us with this.
(Please let the record show: I said awake to the passage of time, not freaking out about the passage of time.)
In the grand timeline of the universe, all that is & has been, our lives are so very short. Can we honor our time here by being awake for it? Navigating with awareness & heart?
~~~
Included here is a very special Video: Lunar Practice~Goddess of the Cycle. Please let me know how this goes for you-I have been working this for years and it has been profound. May it open something in your own life.
with adoration,
Chris
P.S~There are 14 more Seats in Winter Wild Woman Circle Leader Training. Is one of them yours?
MOON WATCH
Waning Gibbous
Keywords: Letting Go, Softening, Surrender
Waning Moon Affirmation: Today, I lay down my defenses & soften into the loving wisdom of my heart.
“The waning gibbous moon happens when the moon is between a 90 and 135 degree angle with respect to the Earth and Sun. So we are seeing more than half of the moon illuminated and less than half in shadow. The word gibbous refers to phases where the moon is more than half illuminated. “Waning” essentially means shrinking or decreasing in illumination. Each evening, as the moon’s orbital motion carries it away from the Earth-Sun line, we see less of the moon’s day side.” ~Via Full Moon Phases

WILD WOMAN CELEBRATION
After her WILD WOMAN CIRCLE LEADER TRAINING:
Meeting Chris Maddox and discovering The Wild Woman Project reactivated a part of me that was frozen in time, waiting to be reborn.
I think I did the training at exactly the right time, and since then, a huge part of myself has come alive and found what was lost. It has also kept me connected to a community of women and support network that I deeply needed after a huge geographical shift as I moved from NYC to Trinidad and Tobago.
Receiving weekly words of wisdom and empowerment from the training gave me the confidence to establish my career as an art therapist in a new country. It is also helping me build my tribe and a circle of women who can grow together and support each other in a safe space where we can be our authentic selves.
