Do you feel like you have lost yourself, or are just lost in general? Mary Reynolds Thompson introduces us to the five archetypes of the Wild Soul Woman's psyche—the untamed, unashamed, and unstoppable aspects of inner feminine power that many women, and men, have forgotten or disconnected from. We explore Spiritual Ecology and the intersection of Women's Liberation and Earth's Restoration. We'll see how ancient Earth wisdom can help us to heal from cultural wounds and find a different source of strength, how these Earth archetypes are part of larger rewilding of the psyche that is being called forth at this time.

How can connecting with nature's archetypes unleash your tethered soul? Mary Reynolds Thompson shares how aligning with Earth archetypes like the desert, forest, ocean, river, mountain, and grassland can help awaken our wild soul woman within. These archetypes provide powerful metaphors and images that can help us heal the wounds of being overly domesticated and silenced. They give us a language to describe our soul journey beyond the patriarchal system that created those wounds. Connecting with these archetypes in nature can help restore our sense of belonging, meaning, and deep creativity. Tune in as Mary shares her 5 Earth Archetypes and her new book,  A Wild Soul Woman: 5 Earth Archetypes to Unleash Your Full Feminine Power,  a how-to for women to explore their inner “wild soul” with the larger purpose of shaping the next wave of feminism. Mary Reynolds Thompson is an author, facilitator of poetry and journal therapy, and certified life coach who helps people discover and live their Wild Soul Story so they can bridge the false divide between outer and inner nature, Earth and Self, and become fully creative, connected, and alive.Supporting you through all of life's obstacles and challenges is The Soul Quake Survival Guide: Reviving Your Connection to Spirit in Earth-Shaking Times.Purchase Teresa's Book at:AMAZON: https://amzn.to/3Nv4ygXBARNES & NOBLE: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-soul-quake-survival-guide-teresa-shantz/1143729058?ean=9798988347200Listen in as Mary talks about:how connecting with the ocean archetype helped her heal from alcoholism at age 27how COVID-19 awakened many people to their backyards and a deeper appreciation for nature.Her fierce protection of the Earth and how what we do to the Earth we also do to ourselves, and vice versa.Connect with Mary Reynolds: Website InstagramFacebook Supporting you through all of life's obstacles and challenges is The Soul Quake Survival Guide: Reviving Your Connection to Spirit in Earth-Shaking Times.

As many of our listeners know, the concept of Biophilic Design brings our contact with nature closer into our lives in the built environment, whether that's at home, work, hospitals, schools or our cities. In our podcasts we speak to people whose life's work has been to design and work with nature and also to understand more deeply how and why our connection with nature is so profound and why it has the positive impact it has on us. The underlying factor is our inheritance from our ancestors, how for hundreds of thousands of years we lived outside, close to nature. We are still dependent on nature for our food, air, water, life. In this podcast we speak with Mary Reynolds Thompson, founder of Live Your Wild Soul Story, and who is an award-winning author, internationally recognized speaker, and a pioneer in the spiritual ecology movement, her focus is on the transformative power of landscape archetypes and nature metaphors to reveal our true purpose and right relationship with the planet. We discuss how the way we are living now alienates us from real life, from the living planet, from each other, and from our own authenticity. It's not just a philosophy, it's proven that time in nature really heals you emotionally, psychologically, and physically, the effects are lasting – it has an accumulative benefit, extending into the stresses of the week. Therefore, simply put, the more connected we are to nature the happier we are. “It's an unfolding comfort, we feel the warmth or cold of the earth, almost like the heartbeat of the mother, security and happiness. For all human history we lived outside, it's part of our lineage, and we don't just cut it off. We don't lose that desire.” Mary goes on to describe a concept, Shadow wild – this disconnection which leaves such a gaping chasm that we tend to want to fill it with whatever is at hand because we want to feel alive (Joseph Campbell, the mythologist said – more than anything humans want to feel alive, and most of us feel alive when we are outside in the natural world. We are part of the earth's 4.5-billion-year history, everything that comprises us was there even before the big bang. There is a deep knowing that changes how we feel about ourselves, we are not inconsequential, we matter, we are matter, we have meaning. Mary takes this one step further in her practice, she helps people reconnect with themselves and this realisation is part of the beginning of this return to our passion for what we want to do. For her landscapes are archetypes, and they are inside us, we emerged out of these places. Have a listen to the different archetypes which Mary describes. For instance if we are constantly mountain woman or man, there are times in our life when we need water, or desert. As Designers, I imagine some would find this interesting, as we go on to discuss how we could take an office and create zones, creating spaces that resonate with different elements to help users of a space work through a project. The desert is calm and allows thinking time, the forest is an imagining space where we follow threads, we allow our passion to come into its own with the ocean, we manifest on mountains and then we take to the grasslands to share and serve the community, our purpose. Finally, we talk about the environment. Nature and what we're doing to nature mirrors what we are doing to our own psyche and souls. Razed forest is devastating, in many ways we are felling the most fecund creative aspects within ourselves as we do it, we are cutting down diversity, creativity, and rootedness. What we are doing to the earth is not unrelated to what we are doing to our psyches and souls. We as humans have a deep kinship with all of life. We are not just hurting the planet we are hurting ourselves in very profound ways.Did you know our NEW printed and eBook journal is out now https://journalofbiophilicdesign.com/journal-of-biophilic-design-1 Please register for our newsletter https://mailchi.mp/4001fc945c4f/untitled-page and view previous podcasts with images here too: https://journalofbiophilicdesign.com/podcasts-journal-of-biophilic-design.Credits: with thanks to George Harvey Audio Production for the calming biophilic soundscape that backs all our podcasts.
