This is what happens when you run naked in the woods…

Spending the Summer in Vermont has opened me up to so much. Being in direct contact with nature helps us remember the magic, unlimited and abundant beings that we are.

I’m getting ready for my Wild Woman Mexico retreat coming. I’ve also created “Conversations with a Wild Woman” a set of interviews where I invite women who have ignited their Wild Woman to share what it took for them to answer to their Wild Woman calling, how was the process and how do their lives transformed as a result. (I will share them with you soon!)

It’s pretty obvious that my Wild Woman has been calling me to a deeper level…And once you hear her calling, it’s hard to resist.

What I’m about to share might surprise you, but I feel I need to share this new layer with you because it’s happening and it’s already opened me up to SO MUCH more than I even thought possible. I trust you will allow yourself to receive what’s here for you, your own Wild Woman calling.

As I’ve been talking about the Wild Woman a lot in the last few weeks I noticed I kept repeating that she loves to run naked in the woods laughing out loud in ecstasy. She is in pure joy and alignment, and feels absolutely free.

I noticed that a part of myself hasn’t been feeling fully free, to the level I know I’m meant to feel and this is why I enjoy talking about this image of her so much.

I love how when we are in alignment, things just come to us in magical and miraculous ways.

Last Saturday night, I literally asked the Divine Feminine to guide me to a group where I could go deeper into my own exploration of the Wild Woman.

I’m very clear that I can’t teach something that I’m not willing to do for myself. That would be out of alignment.

So the next day I went to yoga and I shared my desire with the yoga teacher and she told me that that night she was going to a woman’s circle where they will be talking about what I call the Wild woman, they call it something else but essentially is the same, that fierce, instinctual part of us who holds the torch for our feminine power.

So I threw myself into the unknown once again and went to this women’s circle.

The woman leading the circle opened up by introducing herself and her passion for gathering women and facilitating experiences that allows us to go deeper into our feminine power. I so resonated with her, because it’s my passion too 😉

We all introduce ourselves, which made us open up to each other and feel more connected. It was particularly nice for me because I still don’t know many people here in Stowe, so this was right up my alley.

All of a sudden, she started to share what we were going to be doing and she mentioned that we’ll go visit a cave in the mountain….OMG, how cool!

And then, she explained step by step her vision. Basically, she shared that she will go into this cave naked and she will invite one woman at a time to do a ceremony to connect and hear our Wild Woman’s voice at a deeper level. She invited us to go naked too, but it wasn’t mandatory, she encourage each of us to be in truth with what felt right for us.

I’m going to be fully honest, I was so triggered. “Naked??? I don’t need to be naked to hear my Wild Woman’s voice!” The voices inside my head almost screamed at me.

I mean, I’m latin, I’m not afraid to show some skin. I’ve done sports my whole life so it’s natural for me to walk naked in front of other women…I was wondering where this voice was coming from…

Then I immediately calmed down by reminding myself that I had a choice, I could always say no if it didn’t feel safe. (that was my Wild Woman by the way, because she’s not about force, she’s about power and being in choice.)

Long story short we went into the woods. There were 10 women who I didn’t know. It was 10pm and it was a little chilly. Even though I was seduced by the idea, I still felt triggered about this naked thing.

When we got to the cave, I couldn’t believe the size of the entrance. First of all, it looked like a vagina, can you see it in the photo? My heart started to race and I immediately knew, there was something magical about to happen.

 

We started chanting, allowing our voices to wake up the forest and to dance with the creatures of the night. I started to feel a heat from within, it wasn’t fear, it was the sacredness of my Wild Woman being awakened.

The first woman went, it was my yoga teacher. She also said that she wasn’t sure about getting naked, and there she was, butt naked going in.

We continued to chant and dance and I decided to go next. Don’t ask me why but without even thinking, I started to take my clothes off. I couldn’t feel the fear or cold anymore.

In order to enter the cave, I had to wedge myself in sideways (remember I was butt naked and it was pitch dark, just so you get to full picture.) Then, I realized the cave only fit two people. The woman inside had a small lanterned showing me the way in for which I had to crawl in a little bit and lift myself up.

What happened inside there it’s hard to describe. This woman turned the lantern off. We were in complete darkness. I felt I was back in the womb. All of a sudden I heard a voice I’ve never heard before. It was my Wild Woman helping me release a deeper layer of shame and fear of being exposed (from centuries ago it felt like) that has been holding me back from expressing myself at a more authentic and truthful level.

Once I was done, I turned around and had to climb up to get out. I had to use all my upper body strength which usually is not much but this time it was different, I felt a strength from within and I immediately knew something was forever transformed.

(That little hole below is where I came out from…I still don’t know how it happened.)

Getting naked as women is very symbolic. We learned to add so many “layers” to protect ourselves from the outside world. From being attacked, hurt, criticized or judged, from doing or saying the wrong thing…

What we don’t realize is some of those layers throughout the years became walls that keeps us “safe” but really they keep us in hiding and isolation, blocking ourselves from receiving and creating our most powerful and magical life.

Having that experience the other night gave a new meaning to the way I will continue to show up in my life and in the world.

A new level of fierceness and passion has opened up and this is the beauty of igniting our Wild Woman.

And how funny it was to realize that even though I teach this work, I had to open myself to receive it. I was reminded that there are certain things that need to be facilitated for us and our only job is to say YES and to open to receive them.

How to connect with your Wild Woman…

1) I’d like to invite you to sit down with your journal this week to hear the voice of your Wild Woman. Perhaps she’s been calling you for a long time. Or maybe she’s inviting you to explore a new level, like mine did with me.

2) Don’t worry about not knowing exactly what that looks like, because as she likes surprises, she sometimes invites you to trust before you see what’s on the other side, just like I did in that cave.

3) Also, write down the fears that come up after you give yourself permission to listen to your Wild Woman. I promise the voices of fear WILL get activated.

4) Last but not least, if you feel the strong impulse of your Wild Woman and would like support around decoding what that looks like to you and how to activate her, I invite you to book a 30 minute complimentary call with me.

BOOK A CALL with me

On this call I will help you dive deeper into your Wild Woman, unblock the fears that are holding you back and get crystal clear of what your next steps are in order to fully ignite your feminine power and create your life on your terms.

Your Wild Woman is inviting you to rise!

It is SO time that you give yourself permission to come out of hiding and trust yourself at a deeper level than ever before. You have everything it takes, you just need to remember how to do it.

I look forward to speaking with you.

Sending you so much wild woman love,

  1. Hi Paula,

    I’m not a female (obviously) but my wild man if you like was just calling me. I Had an overwhelming urge to just run naked at night through a forest. Now this isn’t perverse I think it’s senses enlightenment if that makes sense?

    Also to run butt naked with a butt naked woman by my side, to feel everything together? So I just Google it and found your story. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in hearing the calling of my inner self. ?

    All the best
    Steve, UK.
