Welcome, anam cara, beloved soul friend. Do you long for support exploring and embodying what is most sacred, brilliant and wild within you? Do you long to know what your unique medicine is and to be guided in healing what blocks its greater expression? Are you called to re-member the arts of the sacred feminine, the Old Ways & the mythic wisdom of the Earth back into how we work, live, heal & play?

The Wild Becoming Sanctuary is a membership community for enhancing your understanding of your soul’s identity, purpose and unique medicine through ancient shamanic practices and earth-based ways of knowing. We journey together through the many thresholds of the year’s turning, learning from each season how to become more fully ourselves… and far less of all we’ve been conditioned to be.

Made for those craving a deep, soul-level journey, we offer enchanting invitations for undertaking soul work at its most potent and revealing. Soul work is the beautiful task of tending our deeper life… the unseen river beneath our surface lives whose wisdom and truth has the power to shape our daily reality into the wild, reverent, blessed adventure it is meant to be.

What you long for longs for you.
We invite you to become wilder with us— more soul-led, self-willed & free.

  • Long to know who you truly are, beyond everyday roles and titles.

  • Wish to discover and emobody your soul’s purpose, special medicine & unique powers.

  • Are an earth-worshipping, highly sensitive cultural alchemist in need of soulful, wildish community & support in getting to know, love & express yourself as fully as possible in this lifetime.

  • Long to learn or deepen your skills in the sacred arts of the wild feminine (i.e. nature mysticism, divination, channeling, spells, Otherworld journeys, dreamwork, ceremony, seasonal rituals & more).

  • Find yourself at an initiatory threshold (something significant is ending, inside or out) and seek guidance in crossing this threshold wisely, into new levels of self-knowing, self-trust & self-loyalty.

  • Long for soul-level healing, to compliment physical and mental/emotional healing modalities.

Will you risk being found by what you most heart-fully seek?

 

A SIMPLE MEMBERSHIP with
jewels for the soul...

The Wild Becoming Sanctuary invites you to do the simplest (and sometimes most difficult) thing: Set aside 90 minutes each week to go on a date with your Soul.

We welcome you into the lost art of self-initiation— the on-going journey to hear & heed your deepest callings, be found by your true power, and discover your more mythopoetic identity. Led by the mythic wisdom of the Wheel of the Year, we journey together through the seasons of our own, wild becoming, learning to listen more and more to the promptings of our soul...

We believe that becoming soul-led again is one of the vital-most tasks of this moment on Earth. When we’re in an on-going love affair with our soul— with our deeper identity & life’s purpose— magic happens. Absolute magic.

In a world that would make us thinking machines, we invite you to become creatura again: Sharpen your senses. Trust your body. Develop your intuition. Shake the dust off the wild priestess, the magi, the sage in you, and howl back to whatever is calling out to you...

WEEKLY SOUL DATES + AN EVER-EXPANDING LIBRARY

  • A Soul Date is the blessed word I give to an activity, experience, or ritual specifically and artfully designed to help you discover & develop your deeper calling & identity and/or heal wounds blocking your gifts and medicine.

    Two new Soul Dates are offered each month, on Fridays. Enjoy them in just 60-90 minutes each.

    Soul Dates™️ follow the movement of the seasons throughout the year, allowing the Earth’s turning to anchor and intimately guide us. This approach will strengthen you no matter where you are in the world or what season of life you find yourself in.

    Weekly Soul Dates build upon each other as we move through the creative cycle of the year, but the ever-expanding library of possibilities is always available to members– we invite you to simply show up each week and choose a Soul Date that speaks to you.

KEYS TO THE GARDEN: A COURSE IN UNLOCKING YOUR SOUL POWERS & PURPOSE

  • In this special course filled with myth & medicine for the soul, Amanda teaches the 5 core ideas & practices behind her weekly Soul Dates.

    She’ll illuminate how they can and will help you more fully understand and take up your sacred place in the world.

    This potent audio journey will help you get the most out of the material offered in the Wild Becoming Sanctuary and might just change the way you think about life and purpose forever!

COUNCIL OF THE MUSE, DREAMWORK CIRCLES & CAULDRON HOURS

  • Be supported along the way…

    • LIVE MONTHLY COUNCIL OF THE MUSE. Share your experiences in a poetic, loving atmosphere that welcomes your truth in our monthly, seasonally-themed mini-course + sacred council for deepening soul-skills and witnessing each other’s wild becoming.

    • MONTHLY OFFICE HOURS (Cauldron Hours) live w/Amanda to be guided in community, during our weekly integration week.

    • MONTHLY DREAMWORK CIRCLES for working with our nighttime visions, which are born of the soul’s wisdom.

 
 
  • Despite the immense challenges of the pandemic, many of us also encountered something holy awakening within us… a longing, a pacing that’s much slower, a healing crisis, a vision for what we want to be, do, or create. We don’t want any of us to lose what was gained during that intense passage. The Wild Becoming Sanctuary offers you a place where you can keep coming back to that vision— whether it’s a need for consistent self-tending, creative well-being or a committed exploration and acceptance of your true power and purpose.

  • From sacred time spent in nature, to journaling rituals, seasonal ceremonies, spells & charms, poetry, divination & sacred council— together we’re remembering other ways of knowing that foster wisdom & connection beyond what the thinking mind is designed for or even capable of. These ancient, highly sense-oriented practices, when wisely shaped to assist the modern soul, are essential in helping us heal, evolve and create life-affirming culture together. We believe these practices require no special talent outside of being a soul-seeking human. You may be wishing to deepen established skills or discover them for the first time. Either way, Wild Becoming welcomes those who are inspired & called to hone such skills.

  • Let’s face it, for most of us there is often immense tension between the inner, enchanted realms where our spiritual practice, art or even daydreams live and the day-to-day obligations of work, family and community. We’ve also been well-trained in “self-improvement,” often turning on the most tender parts of ourselves. But our pain and shadows are holy, too.

    In this work, your everyday life is the raw material for your Soul Dates so that, overtime, there is increasing harmony between your inner life and your outer, lived life. We invite you to look upon everything and everyone, including and beyond the human world, as The Sacred Other.

  • We have so much medicine for each other. When we create an atmosphere of dignity and magic, we naturally mirror for each other the power, Beauty and untended pain we struggle to recognize in ourselves. Our path is ours alone to walk, but when we make time to meander close to others’ paths for a while, we are so deeply fed. Then, we continue on fortified by community. The Wild Becoming Sanctuary is not concerned with “what you do” or the usual “niceties.” Here, we side-step chitchat and welcome the deeper story of who you are to emerge. We invite you to witness yourself and others trying on their own truth, adorning ourselves with authentic expression and re-membering who we truly are.

  • Enchantment lay at the center of our prayers for this space. We feel it is one of the key, overarching medicines needed at this time on the planet. Nothing excites us more than being a guide to those seeking to fall deeply in love— with their lives, the Earth and each other. We welcome all the rule-breaking, tenderness, spontaneous expression, dissolution and radical honesty that come with rewilding ourselves and our culture.

What is Wild Becoming?

The Wild Becoming Sanctuary is a Mystery School where you are the mystery to be explored and experienced, at whatever pace and level of visibility you wish or feel ready for.

A mystery school is traditionally a group of intiaties devoted to learning, preserving and practicing an ancient teaching or occult art. We believe each of us is an ancient teaching, that we each hold a key to the seemingly locked doors of these difficult yet expansive times.

We provide a pathway into your soul’s purpose, power and peace that is grounded in the sacred arts of the wild feminine, the Wheel of the Year’s wisdom + both traditional and emergent rites of passage techniques.

Wild Becoming™ is a way-finding path to self-actualization grounded in self-healing, nature mysticism, the mythic imagination and intimacy with the season’s turnings. We offer a sacred grove in the enchanted woods of your soul’s journey, where you will find enticing invitations for seeking the best kind of danger . . . that which brings you closer to your heart’s desire, all in good & deeply loving company.

Rooted in the ancient belief that we each carry a unique destiny, a teaching, a key medicine for the world, theWild Becoming Way supports the soul’s journey to remember and express that medicine, alongside daily life. As we do so, we, everyone around us, and the greater Earth are made more well, wild and free.

Challenging as it is, the deeper we venture into our one, true life, the more we become a place of harmony in this world… a mystic presence where the three world’s touch.

Hello, Beloved!

My name is Amanda, affectionately called “Love Story” by the Soul of the World. I am a shamanic practitioner & soul guide in my ancestral Celtic tradition, a poet-mystic and a seeker, like you. But more importantly, I am the one re-membering a Great Love Story back into the broken heart of the world, and I am the one who Sings Flesh on the Bones of Magnificence.

Who are you, a chara (dear friend)?

Despite an adventurous, spiritual life, when my son was born 8 years ago he brought into sharp focus the truth that I didn’t really know who I was or how I belonged. Once I named my deepest longing, the world began to open to me the most enchanting, alluring and deeply moving ways. This gave me the courage to seek deep, ongoing healing for my wounds and highest expression for my gifts.

The quest continues, and it’s not one to undertake alone. I created this space because I love & long to be in community around the magical, healing art of Who Am I?, What is my gift? and How am I most called to express it? I long to see our individual and collective medicine bloom like thunder across a world thirsty for our full participation.


FAQ

  • The Wild Becoming Sanctuary is open to all gender expressions, backgrounds and cultural heritages who deeply resonate with this space and its purpose. That said, we are deeply involved in the re-membering of the sacred arts of the wild feminine, in other ways of knowing and with dis-membering the patriarchy. You will want to be not just open to that, but deeply craving it.

  • Amanda offers (written) guidance to questions and reflections every Monday. Each Soul Date has its own discussion section. A live monthly sharing circle is also included in your membership, where Amanda offers guidance, as times allows.

  • There is a 7-day free trial. There are no refunds beyond that, but you can pause your membership anytime.

  • No. Although I will often speak through the lens of Celtic pre-christian spirituality because it is my lineage, I encourage everyone to tune deeply into & explore their unique path. I will, at times, offer Celtic traditions, especially around the seasonal holy days, which you can take or leave! I’m devoted to speaking strictly from what I know while extending deepest hospitality to all.

  • The WB Sanctuary is a Mighty Network. This means it is a completely private space.

  • No. Soul Dates + the greater community are available only within the sanctuary, for as long as you’re a member. You can download the Mighty Network app for easy participation, wherever you are or access through your browser. Soul Dates are available in text & audio. Amanda may record a video from time to time.

  • Very witchy, very woo… AND very grounded in the practical magic of what works best to bring us fully alive to our gifts & power. This is a secular-paganistic space which seeks to upend industrial-patriarchal & oppressive religious conditioning.
