We may be under the impression that The Burning Times are over. But women, they are as fearsome now as they ever were. Perhaps even more dangerous because so many of us have been corralled into a state of domestication. Here, we are lulled into a sense of complacency, that promises convenience but is actually a consolation. This domestication, its complacency and conciliatory strings, slowly eat away at us. For we know in our bones that our wild wisdom and fierce female voices are needed now more than ever on behalf of our children, the monarch butterflies and the blue whale; on behalf of all Life. Rewilding ourselves is more complex than we might imagine. It cannot be rewoven in a weekend workshop or by following someone’s method. Wildness requires a state of intelligent interdependence inextricably interwoven with a fierce autonomy.  We did not learn this from our mothers and grandmothers. But our well ancestral women know what wild means. Together we will listen and we will speak, with our voices, our bodies, and our excavated language(s). Together, we will feed the emergent state that unfurls itself through our collective.

This is the first of four in-person intro events designed to give you a feel for The Verdant Collective, our four-month immersion into new world women’s culture. While introducing you to The Collective, each of these events is also designed to be a stand-alone experience; even if you know you can’t dive into the full program this year, we invite you to join us. The Verdant Collective is for you if you are a women longing to reclaim your erotic, intelligent nature, your elemental and essential power, and experience rewilded women’s culture.
