Awaken your inner sacred rebel and disobey anything that is not for your highest good!
12/26/2025
If you continue to look outside of you for the answers, you will forever be seeking.
It’s only when you make the turn inwards, that you switched to discovery and awaken to the truth, that Spirit/God/ Creator/ The Divine…. Is with you.
Once you touch this truth, you will never be lost.
You will always be home.

🔥 The Initiation — what is it?
And why do we resist it?
🔥 In The Wheel of Life | 8-Month Shamanic Mentorship, the initiation does not come from me.
It comes from the land, the stones, the waters, and Spirit.
I curate the container.
You create your experience.
If you feel the call, you already know.
Join me.

“Beckoning The Mad Woman”
Wild Poetry By: Colleen Reid &
Mad thanks to my support in the film creation.
🔥 for filming & editing
🔥 for playing the archetype of the bound woman
🔥& Rosheen for honouring the archetype of the grandmother
🔥The video was directed by me, Colleen Reid
This poem is an offering for collective healing, for our mother’s & grandmothers. No matter your gender, the mad woman archetype is alive in you. And she was disowned by many in our lineage, all genders included.
When we welcome her home, give her space to express, move, cackle through us… we call back our wholeness.
This is a soul retrieval for not just ourselves, but also those who came before us & those who will come after.
This poem is an invitation for you to beckon the mad woman that lives in you.

Breathe
Attuning To The Sacred
As above So within
What’s within, Is all around
Drop the stories.
Come home.
I am that. That I am.
Only wholeness comes out of wholeness
Only wholeness is

Where are my Mesa carriers at? How are you tending to your altars?

The path of the the modern medicine person.
The shamanic tradition came from the land and the stars
Since we are all children of the Earth and the stars, the core shamanic practises belong to us all.
It’s an evolving tradition. An art form.
There is no right or wrong as long as you are practising reciprocity with the spirits.
Some practises are closed - belonging to specific families, traditions, and people, requiring permission, transmissions and initiations to carry.
The path of the modern shaman is through direct experience, build your own path.
As a modern practitioner, you are invited to:
• Draw from your own roots.
• Listen to the land you live on.
• Journey into the unseen realms.
• Gather your own direct experience.
• And always give back.
Leave offerings.
Give gratitude.
Walk with humility.
Keep one foot in the invisible realm
and one foot firmly grounded in this one.
Listen to the animals, the trees, the waters, the stones.
Build relationships with your spirit allies.
Spend time in nature.
Open your perception to new ways of seeing and being.
You cannot learn to be a shaman from a book.
You learn through experience, through relation, through direct connection with spirit and the living world.
The medicine person sources from what they live —
so step onto the path,
listen deeply,
and let the teachings reveal themselves.

Where have you been trying to stay ‘above’ something you actually need to face?
Your shadow doesn’t need healing.
It needs acknowledgement.
Tell me one shadow you’re learning to love?
🔥
Bypassing protects identity.
Shadow work protects the soul.
Bypassing says:
“I’m fine.”
Shadow work says:
“I’m willing.”
The shadow isn’t the enemy — your fear of it is.
And every healer, leader, and space holder must learn to walk with their own shadow
before holding anyone else through theirs.
🔥
Inside the 8-Month Mentorship, we don’t bypass, spiritualize, or gloss over the truth.
We meet it.
We breathe with it.
We alchemize it.
This is leadership. This is depth. This is the path.

Sometimes this hippy goes punk chic 💋
I was celebrated by a sister in the sweetest way last night.
I spent the night in Vancouver at a Christmas party, got dolled up, danced & sang to an old school punk rock band.
I was chatting with a woman who works for the company, (I haven’t worked there for 12 years, but I still get invited 😏). We were chatting about small island living vs big city living.
She had a dreamy envious look on her eyes when I shared that I lived in a schoolie & on Gabriola.
I asked her how old she was, she said 27.
With love I shared, “you have so much time! I’m 15 years older than you. There’s no rush!”
In disbelief she asked “how old are??”
“I’m 43,” I shared (or soon to be January)
She lit up 🔥 jumped up and down in celebration and hugged me while saying, “wow! You look amazing!!”
lol 😂
It was such a sweet celebration from a sister.
She was so happy for me!!!
I love when women show up for each other like that!
Can we have more celebration for one another? Less comparison, competition, judgment… and instead let the beauty in another reflect the beauty in us?!
🌒 it was a fun night. I was feelin feisty and enjoyed the opportunity to dress up a bit.
Tell me about a time you were celebrating or celebrated another! Inspire me!

The moment I stopped ignoring the call.
The tug to create, to lead, to bring my medicine to the people.
…. When I finally stopped hiding.
The world opened up, and I set myself free.
It wasn’t easy. There were many moments that I had to face my fears. Many moments when I had to ask myself who I wanted to be in this lifetime.
Was I going to continue hiding and waste this one wild and precious life , or was I going to live now. Not tomorrow. Today.
There are many moments when I had to face judgement. When others didn’t like what I was doing. Or when I felt like a fraud.
There were many moments that I could have said no, I’m not ready, it’s too scary, what if I’m not enough….
But I chose to go higher.
I chose to acknowledge my fear but not listen to it .
I chose to say yes to spirit, as this was my commitment as a medicine bundle carrier.
When I call spirit answers, and when spirit calls I answer.
It was more uncomfortable hiding than it was being seen in the end. The fear was a cage. But the door was always open.
Now I fill my heart every day with the work that I do.
I get to show up in my authenticity; wild, raw and overflowing with creative energy. This is a part of my medicine, one of my gifts to my people. I give them permission to also be raw, wild, and alive!!
And so… Through having babies, facing the ups and downs of parenthood & partnership. Family sickness & death. Everything that 2020 brought. Fires and floods….
I now host 2 successful, long standing women’s festivals (7th annual this year) A successful 8 month shamanic mystery school (on year 4). I’ve hosted several successful and life-changing retreats, online memberships and mentorships. I’m sharing my music with the world and my Wild poetry. And continue to say yes or spirit calls me.
Life is going to bring us challenges no matter what path we choose.
So you can choose to stay hidden, to do what’s comfortable , what you’ve always known. you will face challenges, and you will have moments of joy. And may always wonder what your life would’ve been like if you had said yes when spirit called you.
Or, you can say yes today. You can step into the mystery and choose to live now.

I haven't always lived in my truth or embraced my femininity and my wild authenticity.
Wild Wellness was birthed from my life experience, having to break out of the cage I'd allowed myself to be put in.
It was a result of many things... generational wounding, protecting my inner child, the novel of stories I'd created to make sense of the trauma and pain I’d experienced, all of these and more created a young woman with an eating disorder, an abusive relationship with herself, self-worth that was dependant on her sexual relationship with men, a fear of becoming who she was meant to be, and an addiction to the unserving habits and beliefs that kept her small.
In my early 20’s I found myself in a marriage that was slowly destroying me. Not by his doing, but my own. Without realizing it at the time, I was burying my wild woman, my light, my flame, in order to keep the marriage alive. Somewhere within me, I knew that if my wild woman was allowed to roam free, that she would scream at me to leave the relationship and my stepdaughter, to become who I was meant to be.
I was suffering and nobody knew it. I suppressed my wild and buried HER under a pile of sh*#. Doing my best to shine what light I had onto everyone else while inside I felt like I was dying. My life force was depleted, my heart was weak, and I felt completely alone. I had lost the magic in life I once knew. I had lost connection to spirit and to my intuition, And I had lost connection to my wild and authentic nature. I had given up on myself.
But Wild Woman would not die.
She dug her way out of the filth I had buried her in and stripped away my deception to Self. She was screaming at me from my darkest shadows saying, “WAKE UP!”
The day it all changed was the day I walked into my first Wild Woman Circle.
I found a sisterhood I didn’t know existed before that day, women who wanted to see me rise and who offered real, uncondional friendship. I found a teacher who had lived her own wild awakening journey and who showed me the way to mine. I found a reconnection to Self and Spirit that I thought I’d lost forever.
Since that day 10 years ago, I have dived into the teachings of Wild Woman, the shamanic arts, and earth-based spiritualities. Reclaiming my own wild woman and remembering who I am at my core. Through my studies and life experience, I have discovered the foundational pieces to living life in wild wellness.
I have stepped into my calling, my passion, my purpose.
I have developed a love for Self that is UNBREAKABLE and still brings me to tears of gratitude.
Today, I am a mama to the most magical little boy, and a partner to a man who fuels my wild spirit and inspires me to be my best self. I have gratitude for the life I’ve lived, for teaching me what I needed to learn in order to step into my service and guide other women to their own wild awakening.
Today I empower and educate women to cultivate and reclaim their connection to Self so that they can rise to meet spirit and stand in their power.
