On March 20th we welcome the season of growing light which offers us invitation after invitation to rise.
The Spring Equinox lifts the wild creatures, the wild plants, and the wild women out of the darkness and into brighter days.
To celebrate the occasion, I made this talk for you.
In it we will discuss:
🌱 Spring Equinox & the rising of new life
🌱 The medicine of light
🌱 Mary Oliver’s Poem White Heron Rises Over Blackwater
🌱 A Lesson for the Season
Please sit near a window, or take me on a walk, as we tune in together:
In the Southern Hemisphere? Watch this instead.

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.
