Wow. This new year is already unfolding with so MUCH happening in our collective. My brother lives in the LA Area in Pacific Palisades and he could see flames out his windows a few days ago. His home is thankfully still standing, but one of my dear friends had her home burn to the ground… along with so many others.

It's truly a devastating situation.

Then my aunt Lynne, who was sick with cancer, just transitioned from this Earthly realm a few days ago. She was in pain and ready to go, so her passing is actually a blessing, though it's still very sad – especially for my Mom.

You likely have a lot also happening in your own life as well ... and it's probably a mix of good things and challenging things.

So how do we stay centered, grounded, and resourced in the midst of it ALL, so we can show-up with a positive, inspiring energy?

For me, the Sacred Feminine has been my wellspring of sustenance through the turbulence of my own life... as well as the collective waves.

So I am offering a complimentary Temple Session this Monday that will offer an opportunity to plug into the sacred feminine for deeper grounding, nourishment, and support as we continue to move into this new year.

During this session, I'll offer sacred feminine tools for navigating the challenges with grace, in addition to manifesting your intensions with greater ease.

If you aren't already registered, please sign-up to join us

The session is called: Nurturing Your New Year: Align with the Sacred Feminine for Inspired & Joyful Creation
January 13th, from 5-6:30pm Pacific Time (USA TimeZone).
*Please note that there will be a recording available for those who register but cannot join us live.*

The registration link is in the comments section below.

I hope this session feels supportive as we navigate these tender times together.

Sending my blessings and love to you.

Hello Soulful Sisters-
It's Devaa Haley Mitchell here... one of the conveners of the Soul Women Community.

It's been quite a while since I've been in touch... and I'm wondering how you are doing over there?

As I connect with the women around me and my clients... it seems that things are feeling rather intense in the collective right now.

Is this your experience as well?

It seems that so many of us are navigating so much uncertainty … both in our personal lives… as well as what’s happening in society – especially in the aftermath of the US election.

We are also approaching the holidays, which can bring a lot of joy for some folks. But for others this time of year comes bundled with a lot of complexity… and it can be deeply challenging and painful.

And for mid-life women like me … this is all on top of the multifaceted changes we may be facing in our bodies and in our personal lives at this time.

Overall, it’s really a LOT to navigate. Whew!

So I am eager to share with my extended community about a new offering I’m birthing into the world called the Midlife Chrysalis, where I can offer you consistent support & guidance through these tender times.

If you sense you could benefit from a deep and loving container of personal psycho-spiritual care... (or you know someone else who could use some support)...this offering might be a perfect fit. See details in the comments field below.

Hey there peeps-
I know that many of us women, perhaps including you, are navigating through so much right now. There’s a lot of intensity, a certain amount of complexity, and a lot of tenderness in our collective field.

Do you sense that you’d really benefit from some deep support and mentorship right now… to benefit you in your personal life … but perhaps also in your work?

If so, I’d love to explore with you… if you are drawn.

Perhaps you are in the midst of a transition … or sensing that a big shift is on the horizon.

Perhaps you are grieving… or moving through some deep inner layers.

Or maybe you are wanting to further spread your wings… and would benefit from laying the foundations for the expansion you are anticipating in the months ahead.

Whatever you are navigating right now, I am carving out time and space over the next 4 months to support a an intimate circle of mature, spiritual sisters through the vehicle of the WildWise Mentorship Circle.

Check out the link in the comments field.

Though we have some general themes that we’ll be exploring each session, this Mentorship is not a “course” or a normal program with a strongly defined curriculum.

Instead, it will morph and flow to meet the changing needs of the women in our circle.

I’m intending it to be a space that’s designed to help midwife women, perhaps including YOU, through the perilous birth canal… into an expanded version of yourself that is more whole, more free, more wise, more radiant… and ultimately… more abundant.��

Having birthed two physical children (Sienna is 7 and Phoenix is 4.5)... and have been the midwife to hundreds of women into their next version of themselves, I know the pathway can be challenging and painful. And at times rather lonely too.

And I know how supportive it can be to have a seasoned mentor who is willing to sit with you through the fire… hold the bigger vision (even when you lose sight of it)... and offer you both skillful inner practices as well as tangible, feet-on-the-ground suggestions to help guide your path forward.

I’d love to connect with you to see how I can support you… and what we might create together through this Mentorship opportunity.

If you’d like to connect, please book some time to meet with me early next week for a complimentary 20-minute exploration session.

My booking link is also in the comments field below:

We are slated to begin next Thursday on June 13th.

To all my wild and wise sisters out there... I hope you had a glorious weekend! I want to invite you to join me for a FREE Temple Session I am hosting this Thursday, May 30th called “Embracing the Wild and Wise Woman Within.”

The link to register is in the comments field.

I've been noticing that for my friends, clients and colleagues who are age 40+... there is a desire to really claim our wisdom in deeper ways... and to navigate the world from this place.

And at the same time, there is a desire to also feel vibrant, alive, passionate and free... which can be challenging when we feel mired by the the routines of daily life, the demands of our work, and the high needs of our family (especially for those with kids!)

So what to do?

This Temple session is a first response to that question... and then I am offering a longer 4-Month WildWise Mentorship starting June 13th for those who want a more dedicated container to explore these questions and have a deeper holding for all you are navigating in life now.

Our online gathering Thursday is designed to rekindle your dormant sacred feminine energies, embrace your feminine wilds, claim your innate power, and unlock aspects of your deeper feminine wisdom.

During this 75-minute temple session you will:

* Explore the terrain of your own feminine “wilds” and how you can reconnect with this more untamed aspect of yourself.

* Access your inner wise woman's wisdom and what she wants to bring forward during this potent time.

* Discover how to merge your wildness and your wisdom in a dance that brings more dynamism and aliveness into your life.

* Learn about the upcoming 4-month WildWise Mentorship Circle and how it can support all you are navigating in your life now.

I hope to see you Thursday for this powerful Temple Session.. and if you'd like to explore working more deeply together, let me know.

I'm eager to commune with other sisters who long to embrace our Wild and Wise Woman Within!

For all our Wild and Wise sisters out there-
We are excited to announce a beautiful new offering that I (Devaa Haley Mitchell) will be launching into the world called The WildWise Mentorship Circle.

This Mentorship is my way to support women like you in a space of intimacy and depth that I know is so deeply needed right now.
And it’s finally ready to birth into the world… starting June 13th.

The WildWise Mentorship Circle is designed for spiritually mature women age 40+, who want to feel more fully ALIVE, joyful, and powerful...who seek to cultivate greater spiritual depth...and who long for deeper connection to the divine feminine and sisterhood.

This intimate Mentorship is also a good place if you are in the midst of a life transition or are seeking a space for deeper soul nurturance, holding, and support. I am ready to show up with my own loving heart to hold you through whatever you may be navigating at this time.

In our circle, I will integrate sacred rituals, personal initiations, guided meditations, embodiment practices, and an abundance of spiritual tools from my 20+ years walking the priestess path to support you to reignite your passion, stand in your strength and your “Queen” energy, and more fully SHINE your soul radiance.

Rather than launching a large program as I’ve often done in the past… I am now seeking to work with an intimate circle of mature spiritual sisters who are seeking greater depth, connection, and personal support.

If this offering intrigues you, please look for the link in the comments field.

And for those who register by next Saturday, May 25th, I am offering an Early Action Discount of 10% off the full price of the program, which is quite a significant savings. Use Coupon Code WILDWISE10 during the checkout process to take advantage of the discount.

Here are a Few of the Many Benefits of the Mentorship:
* Bring more excitement, aliveness, and joy into your life.
* Step more fully into your power, so you feel strong and confident about who you are and what you offer.
* Be more deeply seen and known for the wisdom that you carry.
* Receive deep feminine holding and nurturance for all you are navigating in the world now.
*Engage with community of sacred feminine sisters where you can cultivate greater spiritual depth.

If you are feeling drawn, but we haven’t worked together closely before, please do send me a DM we can together explore if it feels like a fit.

PS - Just a reminder that I am offering an Early Action Discount of 10% off the full price of the program for those who register by next Saturday, May 25th. It's quite a significant savings! Use Coupon Code WILDWISE10 during the checkout process to take advantage of the discount.

I just made a donation to support a beautiful indigenous project with the Nisenan people who live in and around Nevada County, CA.

Would you consider joining me in supporting them?

Here's the backstory.

The Nisenan Tribe of the Nevada City Rancheria, the original caretakers of the Yuba and Bear River Watersheds, haven't had a home in their own homelands since 1964 - when their last bit of Rancheria land was illegally sold at auction and their federal recognition terminated by the US government as part of the California Rancheria Act.

Now the Tribe has a time-limited opportunity to purchase 232 acres located on a historic Nisenan Village site called Yulića near Nevada City and needs broadscale participation to help fundraise $2.4 million, which includes the purchase price, government-mandated improvements, and an operating endowment. $1.5 million of that amount is due on April 4, 2024. We are more than halfway to the goal!

In a moment when there is so much global grief, and many of us struggle to find meaningful action, this campaign presents a tangible opportunity to make repair, help return what's been stolen, and say NO to taking part in a system where new-wave settlers - especially those of us that are European-descended - are still better off than Indigenous people here in their own homelands.

If you're called learn more, check out the page below:

The Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe has a time-limited opportunity to purchase 232 acres located on a historic Nisenan Village site called Yulića near Nevada City, CA. As with many Indigenous traditions, the Tribe’s health and its culture are symbiotic with the Land - neither People nor Land ...

Hey folks-
In case you aren't tracking what's happening with the lunar cycle, today is the NEW MOON, which is a wonderful opportunity to begin a 28-day cycle of manifestation. In the new moon energy, you can go inwards, to a space of stillness and silence and connect with the energy of the Great Mother. In this space of deep listening, you can get clear on your deepest intentions for this next cycle, and work towards manifesting it using the lunar energy to support you. Check out this longer post I sent out a few days ago to my email list with details on how it works.

I imagine you have some big plans for this year... and you can harness Monday's New Moon energy to begin a month of manifestation... the feminine way. Y Dear Haley, I imagine you have some big plans f

First, I have a question for you:
Do you consider yourself to be a feminist? Why or why not?

I'd LOVE it if you'd respond below, as I am super curious and want to begin a conversation with y'all about how you are feeling about the label of being a "feminist." Does the label fit how you think of yourself and your own stance related to women and women's empowerment?

So here's the backstory. This week I watched a really interesting documentary called "Feminists: What Were They Thinking." The movie features some inspiring and well-known Feminists like Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Z Budapest and Judy Chicago.

The film also features Wendy Lee, who is a younger award-winning filmmaker. She describes a very disturbing scenario when she wins an award for one of her films, but the actual award is not given to her, but is instead handed to one of her male actors. REALLY??!! How often does this still happen??!!

And then she goes on to talk about the word feminism, and she shares that most of her friends don't really describe themselves as feminists, because of all the "baggage" that comes along with the label... like being "angry" and "man-hating."

Professor Funmilola Fagbamila is also spotlighted in this film, and she shares some of the negativity she's faced when she's identified as a feminist.

For me personally, I definitely do consider myself to be a feminist (and a proud one!) But I am equally aware of the negative connotations that are attached. And it's something that I've also had to navigate.

So I've started putting out a new meme around THE NEW FEMININE AGENDA ... which is also more rooted in personal growth and spiritual evolution...instead of continuing to use the label of the FEMINIST agenda.

Here's a PPT overview for anyone interested: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ZAm-Gas4l8HDeeBD8Xum6IghSSY9DszIy6RIdsHd5ok/edit?usp=sharing

THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE

Looking
Through �
The Eyes
Of Love

Beauty Streams Through
My Laughing Heart
That Aches
with Joy

Even my
Imperfect self
With that new wrinkle
And blotchy skin

Even that bulging extra pound
And the way
she scowled at me
Last Night

Not to mention�
my guilty Secret
That I didn’t exercise
All Week

And although my stitching
May be Crooked…
Nothing
Needs to change

Rainbow Lenses
Revealing
Divine� Perfection

A Gorgeous Tapestry
Unfolding
Painted
with Light
~By Devaa Haley Mitchell

This poem came through while looking at this sweet image of my soul sister, Sarah Uma Kane, with her fun-loving heart-shaped lenses and laughing eyes.

Seeing her image reminded me, yet again, that the world is not static. Instead...how we SEE the world shapes our experience of it. And when we choose to consciously look through the eyes of love, the world is so much more gentle, beautiful... and generally more delightful!

I'd love to hear about any experience you might have had in your own life about looking through the eyes of love... or your own reflections on this topic. Please DO share your reflections in the chat box below.

If you like this poem.. this image... this conversation... please DO share it as well! Many thanks!

We all crave deeply intimate and loving connections with other beings... and for me... the more love in my life... the brighter my own light shines... and the more JOY I experience.

And I know I am not alone in these sentiments.

Here's what I learned. A few years ago I was conducting research for a book I was writing on the topic of feminine fulfillment (the book is still in process!)

As part of that research, I conducted a very large survey among the women who were part of our Inspiring Women with Soul Series... asking them how they'd like to grow in order to feel more fulfilled in their lives.

Unsurprisingly, two of the top answers were "expanding my capacity to give and receive love"... followed by "learning how to open my heart more fully."

And so... this week's posts are dedicated to cultivating more LOVE in our lives! May it be so!
