For many women reaching midlife, and the changes that come with it, the disconnect between heart and head takes center stage, revealing the life dissatisfaction that comes from ignoring your hearts wisdom. Cissi Williams experienced this firsthand when, at the age of 51, her heart literally stopped. Recognizing this as a lesson, she listened to what her heart had to teach her, learning to heal not just her body but her life too.
Sharing the teachings of her healing transformation, Cissi invites you on a shamanic journey to connect deeply with the four chambers of the heart and the ancient wisdom of spirit animal guides and Goddess archetypes, including Persephone, Inanna, Mary Magdalene, the Valkyries, Freya, Hecate, and Cerridwen. In the first heart chamber, the Chamber of Healing, you focus on letting go and shedding whats no longer needed. Stepping into the Chamber of Transformation next, you are asked to process your shadow parts in the holy fire of the Dark Mother, along with the shamanic spirit animal guides Wolf and Raven. The third chamber, the Chamber of Magic, helps you manifest your dreams with the support of Owl. Concluding in the Chamber of Rebirth, carried by Eagle and Phoenix medicine, you rise from the ashes, stronger than before.
Presenting nine powerful shamanic journeys alongside transformative exercises, chakra work, and visualizations, Cissi guides you through a feminine heart-centered initiation, allowing you to transform your wounds into wisdom, reclaim your authentic power, and awaken your inner Wise Woman.
