This is a conversation about the divine feminine rising and our mother energy
and easily one of the most beautiful conversations I recently had when I was lucky enough to talk with Chris Maddox, founder of the Wild Woman Project, and honestly, I'm still getting goosebumps, when I listened to it now.
Chris never planned to create this global movement. She wasjust this young actress in New York City doing a project called "The Vagina Monologues" when she stumbled into her first women's circle.
The amazing part is, it only started with 'One vision of golden circles of light' scattered across the world later, and she's now trained hundreds of women in 26 countries to lead their own circles.
We talked about:
The power of speaking your truth out loud with other women (I can tell you - it's amazing, I just did it with total strangers and have been to a women's truth gathering circle myself recently here in Mallorca and Chris put into words exactly what I experienced) When you sit in that circle and share your deepest fears with women that you don't know, essentially, there's something so magical in this whole experience.
It looks so simple from the outside, but you walk away fromthis experience so strengthened inside. It has really touched me like to my core. Chris says it perfectly: when you speak from your heart in circle and it's witnessed, "it fortifies it in a way that's different than your own personal practice." Those passing pieces of guidance that come through? They become real, tangible, life changing.
We talk about her beautiful path from actress to women's circle leader.
If you're one of those women, you know, like the seekers,where you're standing at the edge of becoming and sometimes you just can't really grasp the thing just yet. Like you know that there's something there, that something is calling you, but you're not quite there yet... Chris hasthe most beautiful advice.
She talks about cultivating that conscious relationshipbetween your mind and your inner guidance system. "Things take the time they take," she says, quoting Mary Oliver. But while you're being patient with the process, gather the clues. Notice what lights you up, what moves you, what you keep being drawn to.
