2020 Reflections: How I Embraced my Inner Wild Woman

December 29, 2020

“when the obstacles pass, where do you want your new wings to take you?”

The last three days of the year are here – how are you feeling into it? Are you happy to close off this year, or is there a part of you hanging onto 2020?

There is no right or wrong way to approach the change of the year and in that light it is important to me to note that there can be an immense pressure to ‘get your life on track’ before the new year is welcomed in.

There can also be a narrative around how much everybody has achieved this year and the ‘goals we’ll smash in 2021’. * Shudders * 

I think the only ‘right’ way to go about the turning of the wheel of the year is to check in with yourself and ask yourself what you need in this moment. Does it feel good to sit down and reflect for a bit? To tune in with your biggest dreams and desires and write them down? Or are you not feeling it right now? 

Don’t forget we’ve only just approached Winter season – a time to turn inwards, reflect and find inner stillness. No smashing of goals included. 😉 

That being said, it can be medicine for yourself to reflect on how much you’ve grown this year, what lessons came your way and how you navigated them and in what ways you can be proud of yourself (the biggest one we all share: making it through 2020!). 

Since the Netherlands went into second lockdown two weeks ago, I’ve found myself in an incredibly reflective mood. So here are some musings on my 2020.

How I Embraced my Wild Woman in 2020

This year gave me the deepest shadow work and the most empowering decisions so far. A few of the lessons I learned this year by living intuitively:

  • Disappointment is an opportunity to move towards self love. As the quote at the top of this letter points to, lessons appear to grow & expand. Disappointment along the way is just a signpost there were expectations that weren’t meant to be. To me, navigating this has allowed me to press pause, refocus and find softness towards myself. Releasing the pressure – always.
  • Signs are everywhere – and learning to see and trust them can provide anchors. It’s amazing to learn to trust your inner fire, but there’s nothing wrong with wanting to receive some reassurance within the intangible of trusting intuition. When I first got back from Bali, I found feathers everywhere – and not just in expected places! I also kept seeing (and still do) 11:11, 22:22 and sometimes even the odd 4:44 (hello Universe, can I sleep please?). I love leaning into the Universe’s little nudges – it makes me feel held, seen and empowered.
  • Slowing down in spiritual practices makes them more spiritual. I don’t think ‘slow spirituality’ is a thing (yet!) but I found myself at some point this year asking myself: ‘what’s the rush’? What’s the rush in my life to get to different places, to learn more, to know more, to do more – also in terms of rituals, self development books, spiritual podcast, retreats and workshops. Of course, this year has nudged us to slow down (understatement) but that doesn’t mean you actually HAD to right…. our minds can keep us busy with pressures regardless of lockdown.I have loved slowing down and picking only a few practices to dive deeper into. It provides more space for the intuitive to come through and to make something truly my own. This is one I’m definitely taking into 2021 with me. Rush is a manmade concept and you get to choose whether you want to lean into it or not.
  • Becoming the fire will provide warmth – but will also destroy everything in the way. Annoyingly, we can’t empower ourselves from within without burning ourselves down too. It’s that sacred process of Life & Rebirth, which is so closely linked to the energy of Wild Woman. Things simply need to be let go of in order to create space for newly uncovered parts. The process of empowerment and spiritual feminism can feel so incredibly expansive, but also so incredibly hard. It’s no either/or, so invite in the full spectrum of feelings and experiences along the journey, because it is truly the only way.

Want to hear me dive deeper into these lessons? I recorded an intimate, personal podcast episode and just uploaded it as the last episode of the year! I talk all about how I embraced my inner Wild Woman this year and learned to trust my intuition on an even deeper level:

Are you ready to weave in your inner Wild Woman in 2021?

Feel inspired to rekindle your inner fire, let go of conditioning and become an intuitive powerhouse?

Dive deep into the virtual journey ‘Weaving in the Wild Woman’! This journey guides you to your intuitive feminine. Using imaginative practices, inspiring workshops, rituals and journalling practices, this offering is designed to help you trust your body & soul, empower from within and make your wildest dreams your reality.

Do you feel like your can prioritise your nervous system? 👀⁠
⁠
Our world is filled with external stimuli, pressures, dependencies and expectations. This makes it hard for us to fully relax, let alone feel a deep connection with ourselves! 😑⁠
⁠
Society is build in such a way (whether we like it or not) that we don't ever (have to) stop. And when that falls away - we go into a collective state of panic. ⁠
⁠
This is because our collective root Chakra (yes, there is a shared energetic system we're a part of!) has been shaped over the years to find safety in external resources, such as money, technology, time efficiency and appearances. ⁠
⁠
Our collective energetic body has become dependant on resources that we don't have as much control over as we once thought, & this directly affects our individual nervous system, which is still wired from when we lived in caves, hunted for food and had to prioritise our primal survival. ⁠
⁠
🤩 HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS! : ⁠
You have the agency, power and ability to change this narrative.⁠
⁠
Healing your own individual root Chakra, and thus your sense of safety, focus on control and beliefs around money, appearance and any other external resource will allow you to rebalance and nourish your nervous system in the way that you need to. ⁠
⁠
This is not about distancing yourself from the world. This is about reshaping your vision of how the world is actually here to serve you. ⁠
⁠

Inner Alchemy, the in-depth 4 month journey, guiding you towards becoming your own Energy Healer, is soon opening for its second round and you can now sign up to the waitlist! ⁠

It's the Solstice tomorrow, marking the transition from light to dark yet again. I absolutely love the cyclicality of all that is around and within us - it is absolute number 1 thing that always brings me back to concepts of inner wisdom, intuition, trust and flow. 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
I'll be taking a moment tomorrow to lean into celebrating both the light and the dark, the yin and yang, the stillness and wildness... 💫⁠
⁠
And speaking of which - we only have a couple of spaces left for the Still Mind, Wild Heart retreat this September in Portugal! ⁠
I took this photo at our beautiful location @theshantispace and I can't wait to gather in ceremony with you underneath this beautiful tree in a few months. 😍⁠
⁠
Are you keen to join me for an intentional, spiritual, connective and nourishing journey back home to your wild heart? ⁠
Check the link in bio for all the details & how to book your spot! ⁠
⁠
And in the meantime, happy Solstice! 🌗⁠
⁠
With love, ⁠
Leneth x

This week, I uploaded a personal podcast episode in which I explore the concept of freedom together with you. 🧡⁠
⁠
I believe that freedom doesn't have as much to do with external circumstances, environment or money in the bank as we may think. 🤔⁠
I'm leaning more towards it being a feeling, a decision, an exploration. 💫⁠
⁠
I've learned that what is often standing in the way of me feeling free is expectations and pressures I put on myself. Restrictions created by the ego which limit me connecting to my heart, my desires, and my physical body - all through which inner wisdom and empowerment flow. 👀⁠
⁠
You can find the podcast episode through the link in my bio (or just search The Spiritual Feminist in your fave podcast app, it's episode 106).🎙️⁠
⁠
Let me know in a comment below how you're leaning into freedom, how you currently may be experiencing it or what's standing in the way of it. I'd love to hear your musings! 🥰

Ever find yourself completely overwhelmed with external pressures, stimuli and opinions? 🙇🏼‍♀️⁠
⁠
I feel you sister. 🧡⁠
⁠
Now I invite you to imagine yourself, six months from now, having taken back the agency over your own energy, opinions, nervous system & identity. 😍⁠
You are rooted in who you are, where you're headed and what your intuition is telling you. ⁠
You understand your triggers, wounds and patterning and every day you get to release a little piece of that. ⁠
⁠
Sounds too good to be true? ⁠
I don't think so! I truly believe we are all worthy of feeling autonomous over where our energy goes, where our attention goes and how we feel about ourselves. Including you. 🔥⁠
⁠
& this is where Inner Alchemy can come in. The waitlist is NOW open for this exciting 4 months journey in which you learn to become your own energy healer. Learn more about it and sign up for a sweet deal through the link in bio - doors open soon! 💫

Nothing frustrates our rationalised mindset more than surrendering into the cyclicality of your Being, and thus your healing. 🤐⁠
⁠
Ever feel like you're stuck with a limiting belief, a recurring pattern, an anxious thought or depressive moment? 😑⁠
⁠
Perhaps it's time to approach your healing journey a little more holistically. To look at your nervous system, your energetic body, and all that you're carrying around unknowingly that is weighing you down. 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
Inner Alchemy is the unique 4-month journey in which you learn to become your own energy healer. You will gain tools for life that will help you with returning patterns and thoughts that just don't seem to be going anywhere (and soooo much more!) 🧡⁠
⁠
The waitlist is NOW open, so check the link in bio and sign up for a sweet deal when the doors open (soon!). x
