S9 / E1: Shapeshift

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
