When the Earth Remembers Through Us

Where this Work begins

There is a place beneath the noise of the world where women remember who they are.

A place woven of tide and story, root and bone, where the old intelligence of the body rises again.

Welcome to the work of returning to yourself, to your lineage, to the living earth.

What calls us forward

Wild Woman Rising is a nature-rooted storytelling platform and women’s community devoted to the remembrance of the instinctual feminine.

We gather in the spirit of myth, memory, grief, and renewal, tending the old threads that lead us back to wholeness.

Here, the wild feminine is a lived lineage — a way of listening to the earth, honoring the cycles of life and death, and trusting the deep currents of our own becoming.

This is a space for women who sense there is something ancient stirring beneath the surface of their lives, calling them home.

“To learn the ways of Wild Woman is to learn to discern when to plant, when to harvest, and when to rest; when and how to flow with one’s grief, channel one’s passion or anger, or when to unleash joy.

Most of all, to rise as Wild Woman is to nurture a healthy curiosity and deep compassion towards all creatures and beings we come across. “

- Nikki Lizares, Stone and Seed Keeper

The ways we return to ourselves

Our work unfolds where story meets body, where ecology meets soul, where the sacred ordinary meets the unseen realms of dream and intuition.

Through circles, retreats, study, and intimate companionship, we explore:

  • Feminine mythology and ancestral remembrance

  • Somatic and symbolic inquiry

  • Grief tending and rite-of-passage awareness

  • Ecological kinship and relational living

  • Community as ritual, story as medicine

  • The slow work of returning to one’s instincts, integrity, and inner wild

Each offering is a threshold; a doorway back to the parts of you that have waited patiently for your arrival.

PATH OF THE WOLF WOMAN

A Journey Through Wild Feminine Myth & Memory

Our flagship journey, inspired by Women Who Run with the Wolves, is an invitation to remember the wild feminine that lives beneath the layers of silence, forgetting, and expectation. Through story, archetype, and the companionship of sisterhood, we trace the threads that connect our inner wilderness to the rhythms of life and the earth.

Each week, we gather in live circles to enter a tale from the seminal book by Dr. Clarisa Pinkola Estes, reflect on its teachings, and awaken the instinctual knowing that has always been within us.

This journey is for women in seasons of change, longing, or becoming. It is for those who feel the call to return to their own instinctual knowing and claim the power, creativity, and resilience that resides there.

HOMECOMING: A WOMEN’S RETREAT

For women seeking rhythm, rootedness, and renewal

Homecoming is an intimate, in-person retreat where women gather to remember their belonging to the elemental: earth, body, soul, and story. Held in sacred landscapes across the Philippines, these weekends invite a slowing, a softening, a return to the ancient rhythm beneath our days.

Here, we listen for the tide within us; the pull toward rest, renewal, and the quiet wild that knows the way home.

Homecoming is a sanctuary for women seeking to root deeper, breathe fuller, and step back into the truth of their own aliveness.

RETURN TO WILD BOOK CLUB

Return to Wild is more than a book club—

it is a space of symbolic excavation, a gathering where we learn to read with the soul.

Here, we follow archetypes, images, and myths the way one might follow a trail through the forest, allowing each story to mirror the hidden landscapes within us.

Through shared inquiry and the gentle companionship of other women, we trace the sacred patterns of stories that shape our growth, our questions, and our becoming.

This is the place where myth meets modern life; where story becomes ceremony; where women witness, unravel, and reweave the threads of their own lived narratives—together.

1:1 Companionship

When you need witness, a guide, a companion

My 1:1 companionship offers a steady, spacious place to lay down what you’re carrying and listen for what’s rising. Whether you are tending grief, seeking clarity, honoring a rite of passage, or beginning a new chapter of your creative or spiritual life, we work gently with body, story, and earth-based practices to help you find your way back to center.


This is not therapy; it is shared tending; a grounded, relational partnership for your unfolding.

A note from Nikki

There are seasons in a woman’s life when the old stories no longer fit, and something quiet and unruly begins to stir beneath the surface.

Wild Woman Rising was born from my own thresholds: seasons of birth, grief, unraveling, remembering. Through myth, ecology, and the ancient feminine arts of listening and tending, I found my way back to a steadier, truer self.

I created this space for women like you — women who feel the pulse of something ancient calling them deeper into their own lives. Women who long to live with more presence, honesty, devotion, and wild grace.

Wherever you are on your path, may this be a place of refuge and return.
