We think of Wild Power as a living presence that’s seeking expression through you. It’s your Calling, and it longs to be embodied and expressed through the singularity of who you are.
It’s an unnameable, unknowable mystery at the heart of your being. It’s on your side; it’s your individual way in the ocean of possibility.
Wild Power becomes ‘embodied’ through the process and practice of menstrual cycle awareness over time. Embodied Wild Power is the liberated expression of who you are. It’s the culmination of wisdom that you begin to live by, the peace that you make with who you are, and the freedom to express your creativity in the world.
It’s the revelation of your awakening self, restoring you to a feeling of belonging in the World.
Wild Power is both a stabilising presence and a catalysing force to evolve and realise your deepest self and highest potential.
It can’t be controlled or mastered—your ego doesn’t have a say in it. And therein lies Wild Power’s brilliance: it has an imperative to keep you true to yourself, an agenda that no amount of arguing with can change. It’s this quality that makes it initiatory.
The menstrual cycle creates the ‘container’—the necessary limits, tasks and rhythm—through which Wild Power can flow and work to forge your psychological growth and spiritual maturity. Present within you from the moment you’re conceived, Wild Power lies dormant until your first bleed at menarche, when it announces itself and begins to inform and orchestrate your life path.

The ‘Birthings’ that Guide you to Live your Calling
On your initiatory journey to embodying and realising your Wild Power, you pass through a series of developmental stages, or ‘birthings’. These pivotal moments move you from one level of consciousness to another, more expanded, level.
We’re going to summarise them here, and for the full story, please go to chapter two of Wild Power.
Birthing One—Menarche:
The formal moment of announcement of your Calling—when you step onto your path—is at menarche. At your first period, your Wild Power awakens and begins to stir you. It’s like a tiny seed breaking open in the earth and starting to put up its young shoot.
Birthing Two: Your Fertile Years:
With the ignition of your fertile years you enter what we call a ‘wombing process’. You’re held within a predictable pattern—the rhythm of your cycle—which, over your menstruating years, forges a feeling of containment that we liken to being held by a womb. Through the ongoing process of the menstrual cycle, month after month, your Calling starts to land and take on a recognisable shape in the world.
Birthing Three—Menopause: At menopause you’re offered the opportunity of wholeheartedly inhabiting that Love and claiming the full authority of your Wild Power. It is the final ignition of your Calling—a transition that births you from the holding of your ‘womb’ into the ‘womb of the World’.
