What will you do with your one wild and precious life? . A glimpse into my latest #WildBeingProject session with Charlotte Watson.

wisdom of the earth nine-month immersion program Beautiful parting words from Wisdom of the Earth 9 Month Immersion participant Adeline Lefebvre ~ “The greatest gift I received from this nine month journey is experiencing grieving with others, being deeply listened to and welcomed in my emotions.
