wild heart community

Wild Heart reclaims the vast landscape of everyday life as sacred. Founded by best-selling author and international teacher Mirabai Starr and interspiritual practitioner, facilitator and artist Willow Brook, Wild Heart offers a tender refuge and a guiding hand as you courageously engage in dismantling false belief structures and embrace a more conscious life, expanding your capacity to be transformed by the inevitable losses life brings.

Through teachings from the mystics of all traditions, with an emphasis on the sacred feminine, we weave a basket of poetry and song, writing and silence, to hold us as ordinary beings on an extraordinary journey of awakening our own wild hearts and stepping into service to all creation.
