WAKE YOUR WILD HEART COURSE
THIS IS YOUR INVITATION TO REDISCOVER YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF
Bring the Wake Your Wild Heart Retreat experience into your own home with this new offering. I firmly believe in this curriculum and the possibility for deep transformation. These teachings are very personal, but I am ready to share them in a new format. I have created a digital course accessible with various payment plans.
I have divided the Wake Your Wild Heart curriculum into a three-part series. These lessons are meant to be engaging and requires your participation. Did you know that self-study, or Svadhyaya in Sanskrit, is the fourth Niyama of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras? This Niyama states that introspection is important and reading sacred texts leads to understanding one’s true nature. The goal of this course is to leave you connected to your true nature so you can remember what it feels like to live from your heart.
MY REINTRODUCTION
In 2022, I started my own business “Offerings” to create a space for all my services and develop a recognizable brand. I have been a yoga instructor, Reiki Master, and community leader for over 10 years. I have been teaching in the capital city ever since I received my 200HR yoga certificate. I have taught through the best and worst moments of my life without regret. My instruction often leans towards philosophical themes or lessons I am learning myself. Yoga is so much more than the asana poses and I have changed my opinion on so much in the last decade.
After I launched my business, I experienced dramatic growth and opportunity. For example, I self-published and illustrated my own oracle deck and guidebook, I developed a signature line of ritual essential oils, and I co-led seasonal sold out retreats with my yoga peers and colleagues I admire. Being in the role of a solo-entrepreneur demands immense courage and perseverance. While I did have success, I also experienced failure, uncertainty, conflict, judgment, and doubt. In time I realized that these were lessons I needed to learn in order to pursue my true passion as a healer. I gathered my will power and began writing the curriculum for an idea I had about leading a retreat. I worked on this course work for 2 years and then Wake Your Wild Heart emerged.
WHY SHARING THESE TEACHINGS IS DEEPLY PERSONAL
The Wake Your Wild Heart Retreat’s teachings evolved out of my own lived experience. As I grew out of my twenties, I could no longer ignore the parts of myself that I hid out of fear. I feared I would be judged, misunderstood, rejected, or unaccepted. I knew I wasn’t the only one watering down their authentic self for survival. I knew I wasn’t the only one that felt sick when people created stories that land like boulders in the body. I knew I wasn’t the only one crippled under the pressure to fit societal expectations for a woman. I knew I wasn’t the only one yearning to connect to the force of nature yearning to be released.
Perhaps my the willpower it took to start a business embodying my passion created a domino effect that transformed other areas of my life. I stopped drinking, I improved my fitness, and celebrated my confidence. I was happier than I had been in a long time. Despite my growing confidence, I lost friendships, felt distant in my relationship, and resorted to isolating myself. I eventually went into a very dark mental state. My desperation for other people’s affirmation was unbearable. To make things worse, I found myself believing any story made up me; it was almost like I had lost my sense of my true self. This is when I felt a tug in my heart calling me back to my true nature.
I became curious about who I was underneath the opinions and stories of others I had carried around for years. In an attempt to coax my wild heart out of hiding, I went searching. I studied books, for example, “Heart Minded,” by Sarah Blondin and “Women Who Run With The Wolves,” by Clarissa Pinkola Estés; I dedicated time to my creative writing and watercoloring; I sought help from professional therapists focusing on my negative core beliefs; I found sanctuary and connection in nature; I intentionally practiced yoga and self Reiki on my heart space. All this effort provided information and insight for me to understand what being authentic felt like in my body, mind, and spirit.
I hosted the first Wake Your Wild Heart Retreat in 2024 and sold out within weeks of announcing. I was feeling a mixture of shock and gratitudeI poured my entire being into my curriculum; a written offering that feels more than personal. I feel like these lessons are like a roadmap back to yourself — back to your wild heart.
