Reclaim Your Fire

You hear a call, coming from the deep forest…

Is it calling you? Here’s how you know:

Your life feels tight. Like a too small, too dark house. Inside, the voices are saying you are never done. That you should keep doing what is expected of you, that people are depending on you. That wanting something different is selfish, unrealistic or dangerous.

You know it has to change and you are scared to blow up your life. You feel trapped.

But there is something that tells you that there is another way. That is the voice of the goddess. That is Baba Yaga’s voice.

She is the archetypal, ancient Witch of the woods, the initiator and the Grandmother of Time and she is saying,

“Come into the forest. Reclaim Your Fire.”

Reclaim Your Fire is a nine-week initiation to reclaim the power you’ve been taught not to trust.

And awaken the 9 Powers of the Witch.

Have you ever been asked, “What does your body say?”

And you think, “I have no idea.”

There is a reason you feel disconnected from your body, yourself, your desire.

It’s called the Witch wound. A centuries-old campaign to teach women, queers, activists, intuitives and other “trouble makers” to shut up and ignore themselves.

An ancestral memory that tells you, “Tone it down. It is dangerous to demand recognition, respect or resources.”

The Witch wound is the legacy of the European witch hunts, a wave of terror that swept the western world and is connected with the annihilation of native peoples and the destruction of land everywhere.

The Witch wound has spent centuries infecting our culture. The Witch wound is what disconnects you from your power.

It wants you to stay small, unsure and convinced that it’s your fault.

It says this is just how things are. IT LIES.

  • If you’ve felt dead inside, stuck, like your throat is blocked or there is a fist around your heart…

  • If you’ve tried to make change by getting more organized, having more will-power, being “less sensitive,” and then just felt more tired and defeated when that didn’t work…

  • If you know something is wrong and you know that you need deep change to bring you back to life, to remember who you are…

Here is the good news: the Witch Wound can’t be undone with better to-do lists, or more “resilience” or traditional coaching..

It is a legacy of harm that was built to hide your power from you. It is undone when you awaken that power: the nine powers of the witch.

Awaken the 9 Powers of the Witch

These powers were never truly lost and they live in you, buried beneath the Witch wound’s lies. And they are begging to be released.

The Witch wound says “You should just be grateful.”

Your Witch powers say “I know that I belong to greatness.”

Reclaim Your Fire takes you through a nine-week initiatory journey, awakening one Witch Power at a time:

  1. The Power to Imagine More. The Witch Wound works to suppress your desire, so that you don’t even know what you want anymore. In week one, you unblock your desire and name the fire you seek, something that will ripple through your life. A boundary. A decision. Something in your job, your relationship.... A way you've been living that no longer fits. Something you've wanted but have been afraid to reach for.

    (Something you might not even be able to name yet, Don’t worry, it’s there. If you know that something has to change and need help figuring out what it is, we’ve got you covered in week one.)

  2. The Power to See. When you start to want more, the Witch wound unleashes the voice of doubt. That voice is sneaky and knows exactly what to say to hold you back .The Witch wound has an agenda, and your power, joy and freedom aren’t on it. In the second week, we tackle doubt differently: with trance and spellcraft, you will learn to open your Witch’s eye and see past the lies that block your path.

  3. The Power to Commit. As witches, we make decisions differently. We use ritual and ancient tools to make decisions in a way that entrains our souls. In week three, you will draw on one of those ancient tools to create your personal pentacle, a somatic tool that gives you clarity and confidence as you reclaim your body. Then we use ritual to commit to the fire you seek.

  4. The Power to Trust. In week four, you learn the fourth power of the witch: to trust your inner guide in difficult times. As you awaken this power, your intuition gains strength, volume and becomes your constant and trustworthy companion.

  5. The Power to Know. Your particular talents and expertise are real and they matter. You’ve been told that you aren’t that big a deal. You are a big deal. In week five, you claim your strengths and know what you know, including which of the nine powers of the witch is your birthright and magical specialty.

  6. The Power to Heal. Week six builds on all the powers you have awakened. A kind of healing that was never possible before is possible now and we use an ancient elemental ritual to release what’s toxic and make room for the healing that is flooding in.

  7. The Power to Take Back Your Time. When you were trapped in the Witch wound, constant urgency and franticness ruled you. Now, time can be your ally again. In week seven, you end the frantic feeling and regain spacious, creative time by learning and living the three kinds of time that witches use to make magic. Feel what it’s like to have time serve you, your wholeness and your happiness.

  8. The Power to Dare. With your powers unleashed, you shine your light – at home, at work, in your relationship, in your creative life. You don’t need to force action through self-criticism and pressure. What seemed impossible is now natural. Your courage and agency are clear and flowing as you dare to be the witch you are.

  9. The Power to Lead. In week nine, you integrate your initiation in a closing ritual that claims each of these nine powers. You know what they are, how they feel in your body and how to use them to make change – for yourself, your people, the world we love. You have become one of the wise. You are ready to Lead like a Witch.

Have you tried a new routine, or a planner, or a coaching program that felt like you were filling in spreadsheets or forcing yourself to go through the motions?

That’s not how you heal the Witch wound.

You don’t need self-improvement

You need the hand of the goddess and a ritual journey to awaken the 9 Powers of the Witch that are within you, waiting to burst free.

Tried to make change before?

Guided by an

Ancient Goddess.

Reclaim Your Fire is not just a nine week program. It is an initiation guided by the wise old witch, Baba Yaga.

She is the ancient goddess of the forest who ruled the woods long before the Witch hunts, who survived when many other goddesses were erased.

And she has always been an initiator.

In this program, our nine week journey is guided by the tale of Baba Yaga and Vasilisa the Wise.

In this ancient teaching story, Vasilisa lives on the edge of the dark forest. She works and works and never is it enough. When the fire goes out, she is sent into the dark woods to seek fire from Baba Yaga.

There, Baba Yaga gives her tasks that awaken her nine powers, her lineage, and the gifts that were lying dormant in her all along.

When she returns from her initiation, Vasilisa is the Witch she was meant to be, weaver of her own fate, carrying her clear and shining fire.

When you join Reclaim Your Fire, you put your feet on Vasilisa’s path.

You enter the story and remember: Your fire is not out.

You discover that Baba Yaga is holding it. She is ready to teach you. She is waiting for you.

Enter the dark forest.

Enter your story.

Reclaim your fire.

“I am afraid of blowing up my life.”

This is one of the most common fears we hear from people considering Reclaim Your Fire.

You don’t have to quit your job. You don’t have to leave your family.

But you will leave behind the version of yourself that survived by pretending to be powerless.

I began this work depleted—overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck in grind culture… This program didn’t just teach me ideas; it gave me a map to make what seemed impossible, possible.

This cycle of going to the dark and coming back out is rooted in a very old process. Get in there.
— Alex Hudson, Executive Director

Reclaiming the Powers of the Witch is better together! You’ll be accompanied on this journey by your circle: traveling the story, claiming your fire, and casting spells together.
