Episode 37 -Embodying the Wild Woman Years with Robin Shaw
There is this time between the archetype of the mother and the archetype of the crone sometimes referred to the wild woman years. It is also sometimes referred to as the virgin - not an as in uninitiated but more like a virgin forest - whole and unto herself.
Our society teaches us to fear aging and to resist against it, but what if we embrace the power of this time?
In this episode with Robin Shaw we talk about this and so much more. Robin is a bodyworker, yoga teacher and life coach practicing in Massachusetts, as well as online.
She took a deep dive into the realms of the body, mind and spirit back in 1997, and has continued to be passionate about these pursuits ever since.
She is a practitioner, teacher, coach and mentor to many, and finds that her synthesis of hands on work alongside movement, and talking through the questions, challenges, hopes and dreams of her clients has such powerful impact.
Always coming back to the body for inspiration, understanding and wisdom, her work supports folks to find themselves more at ease and at the same time, inspired and motivated to be their full authentic selves.
