My intention for 2025 is to share the message of Wild Self Co and begin to create a community where women feel supported and nurtured to become their most vibrant selves.
I am passionate about helping women access their inner vibrancy. Having spent most of my adult life living for others—being the "good" daughter, mother, and wife—I deeply understand what it’s like to feel disconnected from my true self. Conversely, I know how transformative it is to reconnect with that essence.
It’s not unusual to be unaware of the cultural and societal messages we are conditioned to accept about being a woman. These messages creep into our subconscious through learned behaviours and subtle, yet pervasive, influences from family, peers, and institutions. The hardest aspect is that most of these messages are unconsciously passed down, making them even more challenging to change.
Changing this messaging is something we can work on together. By doing so, we can understand how it affects our vitality and our ability to trust and act on our inner knowing. As young girls, we learn very early that others seem to have the right to dictate how we should act to maintain the status quo. We grow up following a set of rules that aren’t ours, adopting them dutifully and loyally, fully trusting in their supposed outcome. These rules teach us not to trust ourselves or our inner nature, as that’s not how we’re "supposed" to be.
Our true nature—our wild self—is not bound by these rules. She is free and undomesticated, with access to her own knowing and trust in it. We can begin to deeply understand this boundless wisdom by connecting to the great mother. Our connection to her is innate. The wisdom we carry within is the creative flow of feminine power. Nature is one aspect of her that we can connect with every day, reminding us of our own wildness. The layers of conditioning that modern society has placed upon us can be shed the moment we experience her raw potency within ourselves.
As a step in my mission to help women awaken this potency and connection to their wild selves, I have created a workshop. It has been growing within me for some time, and it’s finally ready to come into the light. My wish for this workshop is to ignite that inner knowing within the group, allowing participants to feel what it’s like to trust the creative force within. The session will honour nature, celebrate our collective strength, and draw attention to the messages that dull our connection to ourselves. It will be held shamanically, bringing in the elements for protection and guidance, alongside a sacred respect for the feminine and the power she holds.
The workshop will take place in Brighton on 1st February 2025, from 1:30 to 4 PM at Yoga in the Lanes. If you have any questions about the workshop—or anything else—please feel free to send me an email. I’d love to hear from you.
