The Wild Self is a mysterious and instinctual force that lives within each of us, a reflection of the power and beauty contained within the natural world.
A force that has had many names throughout human mythology and history: The Green Man, Artemis, Pan, Witch, Medicine Keeper, La Loba, Dionysus, Herne the Hunter, Sheelanagig, Cernunnos, Cailleach…
Join Alana and Gaia for this free workshop, an opportunity to meet your wild self and unearth the wisdom and the power that lies within your soft animal body.
Through storytelling, group inquiry and embodiment practices, you will connect to the part of yourself that is yearning to be set free. The one that gives no f*cks; is ferrel, messy, tender, and above all, feels like they belong.
“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.” - Clarissa Pinkola Estés
This event will be recorded and made available to anyone who signs up
