Dark Night of the Soul & Feminine Awakening – Episode 50

What exactly is a Dark Night of the Soul? How can you tell if you’re in one rather than experiencing an emotional down-time or low energy? How can you best honor, support, and take action on behalf of yourself when you’re in one?

In today’s episode, we discuss this as a life transformation and explore the purposes for and reasons behind this huge life shift. We honor those who have come before us and anyone who is currently experiencing a Dark Night of the Soul. We invite and encourage you to both hold and be held – as well as to stand up to the fire and the power of truth as we awaken to the path of the Divine Feminine.

If you’re looking to dive deep into the practices and energies we explore have a look at our online workshops and retreats on our online programs page.

Welcome to ReWilding for Women!

ReWilding For Women is sacred container, a resource center, a women’s circle. It was created by women, for women, to help us peel back inauthentic layers we have absorbed from the society around us. To guide us along the path of feminine awakening and soul reclamation. To teach us to trust what we already know, that sacredness, that magic, that endless love comes from within, not from without.

Our practices and teachings incorporate tantra, shamanism, astrology, meditation, archetypal embodiment, and personal inquiry to go far beyond each of these realms. To go deep into the body, the self, the soul, the places where only you can uncover your ancient gifts and your everlasting connection with the universe around you.

Join the ReWilding Community!
