“I have a reoccurring dream I am sitting in a Circle of Women”
I have heard some variation of this sentiment from our trainees more times than I can count. And I can relate.
Hi there, I am Chris Maddox.
The Wild Woman Project began as a vision I had late one night to see Women’s Circles happening around the world.
At the time I had been facilitating a life-changing New Moon Women’s Circle for years at the neighborhood yoga studio where I taught classes in NYC. I wanted other women to have this incredible experience and I knew in my bones that with the right tools and some encouragement any woman who felt the call could make this magic in her own community.
I taught my very first round of Wild Woman Project Circle Leader Training in 2011 and the adventure began!
In the 14 years since, this program has been refined, deepened, updated dozens of times to meet the moment, to integrate everything I’ve learned along the way. Because my team and I keep evolving and learning, so too does this training.
100% online, each round of training is filled with an international, intergenerational, and interspiritual group of women who feel the same call I felt at 22 years old, way back in 2006:
A call to gather the women.
A feeling that when women come together, we set ourselves free.
A tug at the heart that says: go for it!
If you’ve had a call like that, I promise: you can do it.
With 875 graduates around the world in 26 countries, and 44 out of the 50 United States I have witnessed again and again women at all levels of experience bring a powerful, soul-nourishing Circle to life in her own community.
“I run a holistic healing center and when a facilitator has The Wild Woman Project on their resume, I know they will be prepared, organized and systematic. They are hired.
This program is more than just the content, it teaches you how to be a successful facilitator of community.
What you will learn in this training is how to show up in your authenticity for other women and will carry over into all areas of your professional facilitator roles.”
In this 7-Week Training, you will be walked through the process of skill-building so you can:
- Begin right away making your Circle dream come true
- Facilitate a potent Women’s Circle, no matter your prior experience
- Lead with confidence & authenticity
- Use a tried and true structure for Circle that actually works every time
- Create a Circle culture that is alignment with your values
- Create a space for women to feel, to laugh, to dream, and to grow – together
- AND deepen your own spiritual understanding and toolbox in the process
“The Wild Woman Project Circle Leader Training was truly a transformative experience for me.
I was hesitant. Chris and the team provide an intentional structure for leading circles along with guidance and support. They create space to learn, to listen, to share, to honor, to inspire, to create, to surrender, to be vulnerable, and to bless.
Listening to my sisters gave me hope! With each class, I couldn’t help but think that the world needs this now more than ever!”
This ain’t our first rodeo.
Within our Training Team of 4, we have a combined 70+ years of experience in women’s work + healing arts.
This training is top shelf, at a reasonable price (with scholarships opportunities) because we believe Women’s Circles are for every woman who feels the call.
Guiding each group through this process is our honor and our joy.
“I did not want just another how-to or the ABCs of starting a circle program. I was looking for a training that would speak to the intellectual, spiritual, intrapersonal and interpersonal aspects of forming a moon circle.
As a result of taking the course, I have been able to connect with the wild woman within myself and nurture my feminine, creative spirit. Also, I have gained clarity on the kind of circle gathering I want to create – all the fun, soulful ways to hold sacred space.
Chris is an amazing teacher and model of feminine leadership. She is warm, encouraging and knowledgeable. The information, materials, and resources alone are worth the course, even if you don’t hold a moon circle. But after taking this course, you will want to.”
“I have come into contact with many different programs and trainings over the years.
The Wild Woman Project Circle Leader Training is like no other.
The virtual format still manages to reverberate a sense of authenticity and community nonetheless.”
“This training and the whole Wild Woman Project changed my life for the better.
Leading a Circle is WAY out of my comfort zone and this training gave me the confidence and tools I needed to start my own Circle.
Don’t listen to your inner critic. Listen to your heart and do it! You will be glad you did!”
“Remarkable. Deep. Powerful.
The love and humor is palpable on the group calls.
The dynamic is safe, funny, and profound. I want to do it all over again!”
We know the power of witnessing and being witnessed.
Wild Woman Project Circle Leader Training is built with intimacy & personal connection in mind. In a world of lonely, hallow self-study courses, we offer the dynamic & vibrant magic of moving the process with a pack of Wild Women. Unlike many over-crowded online course this program maintains Circle sizes that allow everyone to be seen, heard, and felt.
If you are ready delve into the power of the wild woman within, step confidently into leadership, and create the Circle of your wildest dreams, we cannot wait to help you in every way we can!

Welcome, dear soul.
Perhaps there is a reason…
The ♡ of The Wild Woman Project
The Wild Woman Project is at once a philosophy (an invigorating approach to life as a wondrous, often messy, creative project) & a growing movement of courageous, creative, heart centered (often weird & wonderful) women on a mission to remember, to reimagine what it means to be a woman – untamed.
At the heart of this Project are the Wild Woman Project Circles.
Each trained facilitator guides her circle at New Moon time. In circle we explore a new theme each month via Meditation, Journaling, Sharing & Ritual. Each and every New Moon, women all over the world, walk out of circle with a powerful & specific intention for her life- an intention that came from the depths of her own heart, through the conduit of the circle journey.
This beautiful practice is a dose of sacred ceremony & heartfelt strategy that has the power to transform the life of each woman who takes the journey. Here at The Wild Woman Project, we have seen the most awe-inspiring transformations happen as a result of this special practice, especially amongst our Circle Leaders.
Things like:
- Inner Knowing & Guidance steadily increase – no more hiding from what we know to be true.
- Relationships with Women become tender, sisterly, supportive & deeply loving.
- Increased connection to the living world.
- Our unique paths become clearer & clearer.
- We become courageous & full of heart.
Each Circle is a co-creation between the Circle Leader & the Project itself. Each New Moon, Circle Leaders all over the world, creates her circle space & ritual, in her own way, with her own wisdom & instincts ~ aligned with and inspired by The Wild Woman Project values, mission, practices, signature structure, and spirit. In this way, we stand side by side as a global community; Circle Leaders are Wild (unique in their expression) and deeply connected to the Sisterhood leaders.
Wild Woman Project Circle Facilitator Training is in it’s 14th year of life.
Over the years, this training has been carefully cultivated to offer the best in deep, soulful, heart-centered feminine leadership training. Our Circle Facilitators are gathering the women in their local communities all over the world – they are creating healing spaces where women can reconnect with their innate wisdom, their dreams (however simple or big), support & be supported by other women – all while growing in their truest voice, deepest wisdom, and embodying the wild feminine in their leadership & in their lives.

If I don't like it, can I get a refund?
There are no refunds given at any time, for any reason.
Will I feel connected to other Women through a computer screen?
In all our years of holding CLT this has been a common concern, but we have NEVER received the feedback that this training felt distant. In fact, we are very frequently given the feedback that this format surpassed expectations for the community that an online platform was capable of creating. We work hard from the ground up to cultivate a community within our CLT. There are ample spaces to connect within this training. If you are looking to cultivate a community, you most certainly will.You will be posting your playsheets each week, you will be gathering live or watching recordings twice per week, there is a section for “heartshares” inside your training space reserved for the Women who are undertaking this training with you. You will have opportunities to share in all these spaces (and you can get as creative as you like in doing so! If you can’t attend live, maybe you’d like to make a video to say hey!). Just trust, there are so many Women (all over the world) excitedly waiting to meet you and build a community, together. Still skeptical. . .
“My experience was from a distance, because I could not be on the live calls. Amanda assured me there would be plenty of opportunities to connect with the pulse beat of the group, and she was so right. There are many places to add comments and to read the beautiful shares, thoughts, poetry, and musings of the other distant and live participants and also the mentor’s comments to them. And, I was able to offer my input and feelings as well. I felt held and nurtured so closely throughout the whole process, even though my schedule and daily demands may have taken me a bit off course. I was always able to find my way home, to the heart of the teachings and focus of the week.” ~ Janet Gula
I’m not sure I want to hold my own Wild Woman Project Circle, is this training for me?
YES! If you want it to be. Each Circle Leader Training session we have many Women who graduate and do not want to hold their own Circles. A huge chunk of this content is centered around getting intimate with your heart and your own life. Chances are if you feel called to this training, it is right for you.
I am already facilitating Women's Circles - is this training for me?
Yes, we have many beginner and intermediate Circle Leaders who join us each training. If you are looking to expand your toolbox and deepen your Circle practice, you will find a lot of value here.
Here is what one of our graduates had to say:
“I had been offering circles for about a year when I entered into the training. It was my intention to improve my circle facilitation skills. This training more than exceeded my expectations! This training has helped me to truly step into my heart to assist me in holding the soulful circle I had always hoped to create. Since incorporating The Wild Woman Project into my circles I have seen our circle evolve. It now holds a wild depth and graceful soul that it did not have before completing this training.” ~Alie Rich
