Shapeshift

Wildheart S9E1: Transforming and becoming

In this week’s episode we explore what it means to change shapes, transform, and become more wild.

Why is the concept of shapeshifting relevant right now?

  • We stepped through the veil at Samhain last week, a time of shedding and release, and there is a swirling energy of change in the air as we begin a new cycle .

  • There is a sense of plans and ideas stirring but not yet being fully formed, needing the germination time of winter to take shape and become more solid

  • The archetype for November on our Rewilding Wheel is the Shapeshifter, connected to darkness/shadows, depth and complexity, unearthing hidden truths beneath the surface, and embracing cyclical transformation

What do we chat about?

  • Being in the ‘goop’!

  • Why shapeshifting as a process is different to noticing change and transformation

  • How and why shapeshifting is potentially seen as sinister

  • Turning to archetypes and myths as tools to support being in the crucible of change
