One Hundred Days of Rewilding
What happens when we stop treating our bodies like the enemy and start wondering where they might be trying to lead us?
When Freddy Johnston was diagnosed with fibroids and adenomyosis, the options available to her felt frustratingly limited: treatments she couldn't afford, hormone therapy she didn't want, surgery somewhere on the horizon, and a whole lot of "watchful waiting".
So, she decided to try something else.
For one hundred days, she would bring together everything she knew about energy medicine, consciousness, creativity, movement and the body in service to one question:
What might happen if I worked with my womb rather than against it?
She began the experiment simply wanting to feel better. Within days, she did.
As Freddy worked with energetic stagnation, she began noticing stagnation everywhere: in the frightening stories she told herself about her body, the beliefs she'd carried for years, her relationship with work, ambition and money, and all the ways she'd learned to override her own instincts.
The experiment became a two-way street.
She thought she was going to spend one hundred days working on her womb.
It turned out her womb had ideas about what they were working towards too.
The Rewilding Experiment is a funny, irreverent and personal account of one woman's attempt to come back into a relationship with her body and the wild intelligence she had been taught to distrust and suppress.
Part memoir, part experiment and part invitation, it explores what becomes possible when we stop asking only How do I fix myself? and begin asking a much more interesting question:
What might be wanting to emerge here?
