This is for you if:
- You experience the innate underlying feeling that something is “wrong” with you, your body, or how you exist in the world.
- You feel like you’ve given up parts of yourself to fulfill the roles you need to fulfill (mother, professional, caretaker, etc).
- You struggle to truly show yourself to the world, because find your inner critic is constantly trying to keep you in line, buttoned up, and monitors how you present yourself to the world.
- There’s a part of you the yearns to the break free from the boxes society puts you in (or you keep yourself in).
- You have a complicated relationship to purity, and you’re ready to transform the cultural constructs of what it means to be pure.
Day One: The Myth of the Swan Maiden
May 22nd | 12 - 1PM EST
Myths are priceless tools for meaning-making and for mirroring back the parts of the collective unconscious that are present in us all, connecting us in our humanity. Storytelling speaks to a place beyond our logical minds, helping to transform our relationship to the archetypes within us so that we can come into relationship with, and then integrate, all the parts of ourselves.
Together we’ll follow and dissect the archetypal journey of The Swan Maiden – a folktale that shows up in various cultures around the world. This myth points to the agony that comes with abandoning our wildish nature – which often occurs as a trade off we make for perceived belonging, pressure to conform to societal standards, or for a promise of love or family.

Day Two: What Does It Truly Mean to Be Pure?
May 23rd | 12 - 1PM EST
Today we’ll explore the swan and other symbols, and the common themes of how our culture has represented purity thus far.
We’ll start to unbind ourselves from the tethers of purity culture, release the outdated ideas that our connection with the Earth and her cycles (our menstrual cycles) make us unpure, and reclaim the word purity as a natural result of being a woman, one-in-herself.

Day Three: Working with Wild Iris to Unlock Your Boundlessness
May 24th | 12 - 1PM EST
We’ll culminate our time together by calling home the wildish parts of us that we’ve previously pushed aside. We’ll work with the Light to bring flowers into our energy fields to help show us what has been lost and to act as a guide as we welcome it back home into our consciousness.
This particular journey will be with Wild Iris, a potent ally for encouraging boundlessness, breaking free from the boxes we keep ourselves in, and holding up a mirror to our innate purity. We’ll also call on Iris, the goddess of rainbows, to help us reweave our auras to integrate more of who we are.
