Wild Woman Rising

Are you ready to feel WILDLY empowered?

You may be wondering whether this day is for you. Is it worth your time? Your investment? Your energy...? After all, I know how busy you are, how much you have to do, how you don't stop, can't stop... but this is exactly it.

If you want to know if this is for you, ask yourself one simple question, as honestly as possible.... "Where and when am I putting myself first?"

​

Reflect on how much time, care and love you give yourself on a daily basis... How are you looking after yourself?

Perhaps you make yourself a cup of tea to ponder this thought, and by the time you go to drink it, it's cold... so you reheat it, only to go back to the microwave hours later to find it sat cold and abandoned after you forgot to drink the one thing that you did for yourself...

This was one of the many moments that made me realise that I had lost myself. I had put my own self-care to the bottom of my of to-do list. A list that never gets shorter, just continues to evolve like the all consuming life beast that it is!

I found that I had a number of abandoned moisturisers, perfume bottles and unused make-up sat on my bedroom desk collecting dust - all because the few minutes that it takes to put them on, goes on organising the kids, feeding the little beasties, clearing up, working, showering while simultaneously trying to answer the multiple interruptions, and getting dressed as quickly as possible so that I have at least a 50% chance of eating before I leave the house!

Perhaps you're even reading this locked in the bathroom for your 10 minutes of peace, because it's the only break that you get, before tending to your next 'duty'.

​

This was me, and still is at times, because self-care isn't a big treat that we give ourselves when we have the time (even though that is how most see it). Self-care is a daily practise of actually putting your needs first. 

​

We have been programmed to believe that this is 'selfish'.

THIS. IS. NOT. TRUE.

​

Self-care is an absolute priority... The most important priority. How can we give our love and care to others when we are not supplying ourselves first? You cannot run on empty - you will have nothing left... and this is what leads to utter burnout, illness and even (in my case) complete mental breakdowns!

As the air hostess says when running through the safety demonstrations... Put your own gas mask on first!

​

This is what the Wild Woman Rising event is. It is a day where you learn the tools to put your own oxygen mask on first. In the nurturing and supportive forest grounds, you will engage in exercises to release all of the 'shoulds' that our everyday life demands of us, and learn how to take the practise of loving and empowering yourself into your everyday life. Allowing yourself to make better decisions, to receive what you need. The lessons that you learn will provide you with a 'toolkit' that works for you... You will learn who you are, what you actually want, and then a set of simple actions that will allow you give yourself what you need to feel empowered in your own life.
