Noelle’s Wild Musings

One week ago marked the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 WTC tragedy. It was certainly a day of mixed emotions. Countless happenings throughout the city brought together residents & tourists alike to confront and share the feelings, images, memories, and various aftershocks stemming from that fateful event. In this space of raw human need and…

May your road be paved with chocolate – bittersweet to journey through exotic lands of mystery and intrigue… ~ Nanette Littlestone At Be Wild Woman’s Easter Wombing & Garden Celebration earlier this month, I had the pleasure of paving a small bit of that road with an Elemental Cacao Journey. Drawing from my longtime love…

Alas, Nature reawakens. Day triumphs over night. The buds that had slept so tightly sealed all winter are beginning to open. Birds are chatting, squabbling, searching for mates.

When I heard the idea to incorporate “womb stories” into the Healing the Womb project, I got excited. By coincidence (synchronicity?), I was just beginning to explore the significance of story/narrative in human interactions and memory, especially after stumbling upon Nancy King’s Dancing with Wonder: Self-discovery through Stories in the library a couple of weeks…

Wild is an audience of hundreds emphatically chanting the word “cunt” within the walls of a church. That will be a long-lasting and vivid memory for me (and countless other folks, no doubt) of this past V-Day’s benefit production of Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues at the 4th Universalist Society. Although I had already seen three…

Hello! I’m Noelle, a recent college graduate and proud member of Be Wild Woman. I stumbled upon and joined Be Wild Woman online at www.meetup.com in September 2008. I remember being seized especially by the word “wild,” a word that really had no application in my own life and that I hadn’t even thought of…
