I heartedly (and heartily) concur. As women and for our own mental health not only our creativity, we must reclaim that often hidden aspect of our psyche.
Reclaiming our wild is a necessary part of growth. For me it happens by peeling away one layer at a time to see what's beneath it. Gently exploring the epicenter of what's holding me back in that area. A work in progress to be sure.
Tamzin & Alicia so grateful for this post, it’s so true what nature teaches us when we listen and have someone who helps us translate the messages. That is key as well, so often we feel we must “go it alone” and be “perfect” yet nature teaches us that the “magic” the “wild” happens through connection and imperfection.
Always… a return to play…a reminder not to take ourselves too seriously. Tomorrow I am playing in a student/staff basketball game. I was told today that it is a completely goofy game which involves props and a complete embrace of the silly. It’s a small step out of my comfort zone, but I’m embracing it. Has either of you read This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley? She writes on the topic of wonder and return to playfulness so beautifully.
