GET READY!
#1: Care Package
-
Journal for recording and exploring your journey
-
Lavender Aromatherapy Oil to awaken your senses (used in Saturday discussion groups for those attending).
#2: Book Circle
WOM includes an optional self-guided book circle for those who wish to deepen their experience.
"Reclaiming the Wild Soul: How Earth's Landscapes Restore Us to Wholeness", by Mary Reynolds Thompson is a book that helped catalyze my whole becoming, leading quite directly to years of introspection and my ultimate channeling of WOM. Mary's book returns us back to our natural state that pulses with earth's five archetypal landscapes. Her work serves as a bedrock from which this journey is anchored.
You are invited to read this book with me throughout WOM and share your observations in circle every step of the way by touching the book icon. Mary's book can be purchased from the WOM Amazon list, HERE.
#3: Self Discovery*
Take these quizzes below to collect your baseline temperament and soul presence in this world. You will refer to this throughout:
-
Four Temperaments: This is formed from Hippocrates' (the world's first physician) observations about humans and the four key temperaments he observed through careful study and intuition. You can access it HERE.
-
Dosha: Earth's oldest system of medicine, Ayurveda, comes from India and dates back 3,000 years. This system bases its recommendations for eating, activity, rest and more on a person's innate Dosha or "energy that governs a person's body." You can access this quiz HERE.
Once you take the quizzes, record the results in your journal so you may easily reference it throughout WOM.
* Note: These quizzes are offered through third parties. They claim not to sell your data; please engage as you wish.
#4: Watch & Reflect
WOM is about living a biodynamic life. This is authentic living at its best.
The film "The Biggest Little Farm" is an inspired true account of a couple and how they revived a dead piece of land by turning it over to the natural principles of the wild Earth. Watch this movie before you begin WOM to open your perspective to what happens when humans collaborate with the wild. Ask yourself, "when was the last time I let go of control and was gifted with abundant life?"
You can watch the precious trailer here:
READY TO GO!
This is your time to gather round with caring people who are liberating their hearts and souls for the dream of the world. I hope you will jump in heart-first with me for a journey of a life time!
Begin it when ready and then go at your own pace – but please do maintain a pace. Again, I recommend that you take at least one week per chapter to let the insights sink in and germinate.
And one last thought before you begin. Let me gift your soul with this poem by Mary Oliver called "Wild Geese". This poem speaks of self compassion, remembrance, and existential belonging. It is my prayer and my hope for you in this lifetime to remember you belong and to come fully alive in this world. I share this here with all my heart.
