Temple of the Wild Wanderer
As the temple dancers of former times needed their temples, so we too need sanctuary spaces. We need to recreate our temples not through physical structures, but through the power of our intention. Centering ourselves in sacred space not only helps us heal old wounds but also reconnects us with the usually veiled depths of our own nature.
~ Jalaja Bonheim, Aphrodite’s Daughters
We are the Wild Wanderers.
This is an online circle and community for those who yearn for something more, who have a desire to cultivate their true authentic freedom. We practice cyclical living, outside of the box thinking, and deep empowerment through reflection, personal storytelling, mindfulness practices, creativity, and ritual.
Cyclical living — We honor ourselves in all of our phases. Life is an ebb and flow, a never-ending spiral, and is not meant to be lived in a linear fashion. Learning, growing, and living mirrors the cycles found in nature; there are always times of new beginnings and growth, fullness, releasing and death, and stillness in the void. In this way, we honor the phases of the moon, the cycle of the seasons (usually according to the Celtic Wheel of the Year), and the archetypes and goddess energies that are associated with this divine spiral.
Outside of the box thinking — We are tired of living a life within a box; within the confines of an overly domesticated society that tells us who to be, how to act, and what values or aspirations to hold. Such a society places too much emphases on consumption, material gain, and distraction, and grows ever more disconnected from our true nature as beings on this earth. In this circle, we are committed to undoing the conditioning and outdated patterns of thinking that have been instilled in us from childhood from society at large, media, parents, teachers, peers, etc. Together we examine our own beliefs and values, our heart’s desires and longings, and learn to listen to our own intuition in order to mindfully cultivate our own authenticity and true sense of freedom. Through open-minded thinking, we learn to live life on our own terms.
Deep empowerment — This circle is designed to ignite our fire from the inside out. What do you ache for? What are you longing to create, cultivate, nurture, do, or just be in this world? This supportive community of like minds will be here to support you deeply on your journey of becoming the most you you can be, no matter what that means to you. As a wild wanderer, we seek to feel empowered in all aspects of our life (while still honoring the times that we don’t). We understand that sometimes our path is a wandering one, a never-ending spiral, and we feel enlivened by the journey itself.

New Moon Circles
On or near the new moon of each month, we get together for ritual, reflection, and sharing designed to help us dive into a particular topic of self-discovery and personal desire for our lives and the world at large. We use ceremony, movement, and storytelling to bring about inner growth and personal shifts in our lives.
Is this for me?
There are no prerequisites here. Come as you are.
You need only have a curiosity.
And perhaps, if any of the below apply to you, you will find further confirmation of your belonging among the Wild Wanderers:
You are tired of living life within a box or within the confines of values or rules that don’t feel like your own
You feel like you’ve spent a lot of your life doing what you “should do” rather than what you want to do
You have a nagging feeling that your life is “missing something”
You are looking to find or connect deeper to your truest, most authentic self
You are looking to connect deeper to your own intuition, wisdom, and guidance
You are looking for a support network of people who will be your cheerleaders in all that you are, do, and desire
You are looking for an inspiring group of friends who will encourage you to be your boldest, most authentic, and uncensored version of yourself
You are looking to reconnect with your creativity (or find it in the first place!)
You are intrigued by the idea of connecting with your inner wild woman (the natural, instinctual, intuitive, creative self)
You are looking for support in exploring nature-based spirituality, goddess study, energy work, and the mystical
You are looking to dive deeper into an embodied spirituality - one that holds both the body and nature as sacred, rather than trying to “transcend” our bodies in order to become “enlightened”

What Members Are Saying
“I highly recommend participating in Jen's in person gatherings and online circles. She is an excellent teacher, filled with ideas and inspiration. Jen is passionate about learning and personal growth. She shares these passions beautifully, with lightness by facilitating discussions, journaling, yoga, dance, ritual, breathwork and more. I have been attending Jen's women's circles for the last two years and have become close to the women in our group. Jen consistently chooses appropriate themes that allow us to dive deep within in order to emerge more whole. She is creative and fun; she incorporates art, costumes, decorations, objects from nature, music, poetry and literature into her events. Wander Free Wellness has inspired me to let go of identities that no longer serve and to rebirth myself authentically.”
