Summary
How can connecting with nature's archetypes unleash your tethered soul? Mary Reynolds Thompson shares how aligning with Earth archetypes like the desert, forest, ocean, river, mountain, and grassland can help awaken our wild soul woman within. These archetypes provide powerful metaphors and images that can help us heal the wounds of being overly domesticated and silenced. They give us a language to describe our soul journey beyond the patriarchal system that created those wounds. Connecting with these archetypes in nature can help restore our sense of belonging, meaning, and deep creativity. Tune in as Mary shares her 5 Earth Archetypes and her new book, A Wild Soul Woman: 5 Earth Archetypes to Unleash Your Full Feminine Power, a how-to for women to explore their inner “wild soul” with the larger purpose of shaping the next wave of feminism.
Mary Reynolds Thompson is an author, facilitator of poetry and journal therapy, and certified life coach who helps people discover and live their Wild Soul Story so they can bridge the false divide between outer and inner nature, Earth and Self, and become fully creative, connected, and alive.
Supporting you through all of life's obstacles and challenges is The Soul Quake Survival Guide: Reviving Your Connection to Spirit in Earth-Shaking Times.

- how COVID-19 awakened many people to their backyards and a deeper appreciation for nature.
- Her fierce protection of the Earth and how what we do to the Earth we also do to ourselves, and vice versa.
