Begin Your Heroine's Journey: Transform your life through ancient wisdom & modern leadership
Dear Sister,
Have you ever felt the whisper of something deeper calling you? A sense that there's more to your story than the roles you play and the expectations you meet? You're not alone. Every woman carries within her the seeds of an extraordinary journey – one that has been walked by countless heroines through the ages.
This is your invitation to begin The Heroine's Journey.
For centuries, women have turned to myths and stories to understand their deepest truths and greatest possibilities. Persephone's descent into the underworld, Vasalisa's journey to find her power, the Wild Woman's dance between worlds – these aren't just ancient tales. They're maps for your own transformation.
In this year-long journey, starting at Yule 2024, you'll:
Discover the ancient wisdom hidden in timeless myths
Connect with your authentic power and purpose
Join a sacred circle of women walking this path
Transform your approach to leadership and life
Access monthly teachings, practices, and community support
All for just $10 per month via substack.
This isn't another self-help program or leadership course. This is a remembering – a coming home to the wisdom that already lives in your bones. Through monthly myths, practical exercises, and supportive community, you'll explore:
The power of descent and rebirth (like Persephone)
Breaking free from limiting patterns (through Bluebeard's tale)
Finding your voice and power (with the Handless Maiden)
Trusting your intuition (guided by Vasalisa)
Healing the mother wound (with Demeter's story)
Integration of your full self (embodying the Wild Woman)
Whether you're:
Navigating a major life transition
Seeking more authentic leadership
Healing from burnout or disconnection
Yearning for deeper meaning and purpose
Called to explore your feminine wisdom ...this journey is for you.
Your guides will be the ancient heroines who have walked this path before, the sacred stories that hold the maps of transformation, and a circle of modern women ready to rise into their full power.
The journey begins at Yule, as the wheel of the year turns toward the return of the light. Will you answer the call?
Join us for $10/month and begin your heroine's journey. Your first myth, guide, and community await. And when you subscribe you get access to all the amazing content of Ground & Grow too!!
With wild wisdom,
Glenda
