leadership training programs

Here, leadership is not a title — it’s a way of being.
It’s a devotion to becoming the medicine your people need

 and the force life is asking you to be.
You already carry the seeds.
These containers are the tending ground.

Through practice, presence, and devotion, we reclaim leadership not as power-over — but as stewardship, kinship, and collective flourishing.

If you’re ready to root deeper and rise brighter, 

you’ve found that meeting ground.

wildkind women leadership training

We are welcoming 12 women to the Way of the Wildkind ~ Your leadership is vital in this time of global change


Registration is now open for the 2025 Wildkind Cohort.


This is a rite of passage. 

A call to visionary women ready to activate their wild wisdom, awaken embodied leadership, and rise as stewards for a world in transition.


Why This Matters

We are living in unprecedented times, and the structures and systems of our world are changing rapidly. It has never been more important to have long vision, to navigate with intuition and gather the skills required to live well and with the land. We are living at a threshold moment. As the old systems crumble and new ways of being continue to emerge, the world is calling for women who are:

Rooted in Earth Wisdom

Living like spring water in the flow of ALIVENESS 

Lit from within by the fire of passion and courage

Calm, present and healing like the fullness of a breath cycle

Soul-guided and open to the profound connectivity to all of life

Changemakers who will support holistic survival and the rise of resilient communities

In this technological age, many humans living in urban centers have grown accustom to convenience, numbness and distraction. Many have lost touch with:

  • The rhythms of the seasons
  • The skills of self-reliance and holistic survival
  • The art of being in sacred space and circle
  • The intelligence of our bodies as instruments for ALIVENESS & Self-Sourced Wisdom
  • The framework for bold action, education, and organization
  • The courage and clarity to navigate a changing world

This is why we created the Way of the Wildkind...

Become a Certified Wildkind Leadership & Community Resilience Practitioner

A 12-month intimate mentorship and certification journey for Changemakers.

Throughout the journey, we’ll guide you through:

  • Holistic Survival & Resilience Training
    Rooted in nature connection, intuitive skill-building, and grounded self-reliance for the modern wild woman.
  • Seasonal Wisdom  
    Harmonize with elements,  nature's cycles and rhythm's.  
  • Embodied Leadership & Space-Holding Practices
    Cultivate presence, integrity, and somatic intelligence to lead from authenticity and wholeness.
  • Temple Tending & Self-Reclamation Rituals
    Build personal rituals that help you tune-in and connect to what matters: The coherence of your mind, body & Spirit.
  • Practical Tools for Resilience, Self-Reliance & Community Care
    Learn about holistic survival practices that are rooted in ancestral wisdom. From firecraft and wild food foraging to situational awareness, mindset training, creativity and relevant skills to build community resilience.
  • Awakening Intuition & Wild Sensory Perception
    Cultivate trust in your intuition while learning to read the signs and signals of the living world. Strengthen your ability to perceive using all of your senses.
  • The Art of Initiation & Earth-Honoring Leadership
    Step into your role as a regenerative leader to guide collective transformation.
  • Deepen your study of master plants and ethnobotany 


Your Invitation

This is not a theoretical certification. This is a living, breathing journey into experiential wisdom. This is a portal you can emerge from with tools to take aligned action in service.

We welcome you into an initiation of embodied leadership, community stewardship, and deep reverence for Life itself.


You were born for these times... Live the change you wish to see in the world.

This is the Way of the Wildkind

curriculum & application here

the way of the medicine woman

There is a way of walking through this world that is older than memory —
carried by wind and river, root and bone.
It is not learned through performance or perfection.
It is remembered.
It is lived.

Way of the Medicine Woman is a sacred apprenticeship into the art of tending life itself —
the thresholds of change, the fires of ceremony, the needs of community, 

the landscapes within and without.

This is not about polished altars or curated personas.
It’s about becoming someone the world can trust.
Someone who can meet life where it is — 

messy, holy, aching, and alive.

Here, ethics are not recited — they are embodied.
Here, leadership is not dominance — it is devotion.
Here, you become a steward of the 

unseen and the seen,
a bridge between spirit, earth, and community.

Through three months of immersive

 study and hands on practice,
you’ll root deeper into the fundamentals 

of sacred spaceholding,
ceremonial ways, grief tending, communal ethics, 

and embodied service.

You will rise —
not as someone adorned in titles,
but as someone woven into the living fabric of life itself.

If you feel the drumbeat in your blood,
if you feel the ache to walk as a keeper of life and light,
if you feel the call to build sturdy, soulful skills for the world to come —

You are invited.
The way is wild.
The way is woven.
The way is here.


WE BEGAN ON THE FULL FLOWER MOON, MAY 21ST

a 3-month online container ending early August

Next cohort Spring '26


The Way of the Medicine Woman is a beautiful complement to the Wildkind Women’s Leadership Training — but each stands on its own. Participation in one is not required for the other and each are a unique journey of their own.
