The Magic of a Hundred Fireflies!

PICTURE THIS...

Not long ago, you said yes to this crazy idea of spending 24 hours alone in the wild!!

A part of you (your ego) tried to stop you! Seriously, who would choose to do something like this?

But another part - the part you've come to know as your 'wild soul' - just kept whispering 'Go'!

So, now you're here in the forest, on your own, and its dark, and you can't find your head-torch, and.... 'what the bleep was that noise???'

Your heart is literally racing a hundred miles an hour! Something is coming for you!!

Who ever said the night was quiet needs to come and sit here right now - because it is NOT quiet in the forest!

There are sounds you've never heard before - clicks and squeaks and calls that have you darting every which way!

And then, as your eyes start to adjust to the dark, you see a spotlight! Actually you see several spotlights - WTF!

'I was right' your ego says - 'Its not safe out here, look they're coming for you, not just one, but MANY!'

You try and work out how to get the hell out of there, and then... slowly, slowly, you realise...

It's not spotlights and there's no one coming for you!

ITS FIREFLIES - hundreds of fireflies!!

They stop you in your tracks and suddenly, as if out of nowhere, you're engulfed in their MAGIC!

It's like a homoeopathic dose of magic - just enough to stop the stories swirling around your head and bring you into the present moment.

Everything stands still as you take in the beauty of these tiny lights, dancing around the forest in the night!

You wonder if you've seen anything more beautiful in your life?

And then after some time (seconds, minutes, hours - you've actually lost any sense of time by now) they move on.

And you notice that you're no longer in fight or flight.

Your body actually feels relaxed, your heart is open, and you have the smile of a small child on Christmas morning!

All those stories from your childhood that had you believing the night was dangerous - HA!

The night isn't dangerous, its just unknown - and we (or I should say, the ego) tends to fear what it cant see!

You make a commitment to stay - to be in the dark and the unknown - knowing that there's magic hiding in there too!

You're aware that fear might try and creep back in - but you know how to distinguish a real threat from a perceived one!

You've learnt how to lean into your fears, how to get curious about them, how to let them be your allays!

With the help of 100 fireflies, your wild soul has been reignited, and you know (you sense), something has changed!

THIS IS WILD QUEST - AND YOU'RE INVITED TO JOIN US FOR THE NEXT ROUND IN OCTOBER!

Come and let yourself be held on your first night alone in the wild.

Once you've worked through your fears and you have the tools, I can almost guarantee you'll be planning your next solo adventure within weeks!
