Wild Woman Project Circles

The WILD Woman Project is a world-wide movement of “CIRCLES,” all gathering during the new moon. Each uniquely themed Circle is a time for meditation, intention setting, well-being, creativity, and connection. Additionally, The Resiliency Institute Circles incorporate a permaculture perspective by connecting permaculture ethics of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share, and the corresponding Wild Woman Project guiding principles of Respect for the Earth (wildness, turning to nature as a teacher and healer,) Sisterhood (empowering one another,) and Co-Creation (the understanding that we co-create our experience in circle, in our lives, and also co-create life on earth,) inspiring you to connect more deeply with yourself, nature and others, which is the foundation for building personal and community resilience.

Build Your Personal Resilience

Build your personal resilience by joining us to discover your inner WILDness, or wholeness of being. Through gatherings of women where the focus is on reconnecting to self, community, and nature, you will feel more supported, authentic, rejuvenated, and resilient.

The Experience

We will connect to embrace seasonality, practice nature connection and meditation, and explore nature and garden related topics, often including wild-crafting and elements of herbalism practice. All spiritual and cultural backgrounds are embraced, as our diversity is beautiful and allows a multifaceted way of viewing the world. Our diversity also creates capacity for compassion and empathy and lends us all strength and resilience.

This eclectic mix birthed her own WILD woman through recognition of the connection and depth of all of life.
