| Who is a Willow Woman? | How did the imagery come about? |

If you are new to this site, you may be wondering, “What is a Willow Woman?” | Hello,
I’m Maria Richard, author of Evolving from Shrinking Violet to Willow Woman and founder of Willow Woman Unlimited.
The imagery of the Willow Woman came to me during a facilitator training some years back while working on an issue. I needed an image that would calm me and
remind me of my innate wisdom and good judgement. The willow tree came to mind for serveral reasons. First, trees tend to denote wisdom in imagery work
because of their long lifespan and second, the tree's roots are in the ground "literally grounded" which is what I needed to calm my racing thoughts and emotions.
After the training concluded, the Willow Woman image disappeared from my conscious awareness until I was asked to give a talk to a women’s group on developing a presence that is noticed
and respected. During the creative process, Evolving from Shrinking Violet to Willow Woman emerged as an apt analogy and inspiration for my first book.
If the imagery of the Willow Woman resonates with you, why not join me in exploring what it means to be a Willow Woman? Begin your journey by subscribing to the complimentary eZine, read an excerpt from the book, add a copy to your personal library or attend a public seminar. |
