Journey Into the Underground Forest
I once read somewhere that myths describe in fictional form the fundamental truths of nature and human life. The Journey into the Underground Forest experience is a beautiful way to begin navigating these truths. Passionate about helping women live their lives at their full “wild” potential, Richelle uses storytelling to guide her group through places and concepts that are difficult, uncomfortable and necessary. It’s a challenging journey but Richelle creates a safe and nurturing space for her participants so that I left feeling soulful, inspired and excited about my future as a woman.

I had the pleasure of journeying to the depths of the Underground Forest with Richelle in late July, the week before I turned another year older. I often like to take this time to explore, evaluate and re-align my inner self and the Journey into the Underground Forest provided me with the most perfect environment and tools with which to do this. It facilitated a turning inwards, within a held group of other women and supported deeper intuitive cognition of my own path and that of women united. I feel grateful and excited to know that Richelle is deeply passionate about sharing this space with other women, to inspire greater embodiment of the feminine in a time when our planet and its people need it the most.

"The Journey into the Underground Forest was a transformative experience for me. I discovered new depths and different aspects as myself. Deep inner listening revealed knowledge I was previously unaware of. I gained new perspectives on being a woman in the world today. I realised the importance of committing to continued self-work and the value of not becoming cynical - but instead to embrace and open myself up to the limitless possibilities of the feminine; to explore the wisdom and courage of it."

Richelle cleverly interweaves her love of myth and storytelling with her deep psychological understanding and desire to empower women and unlock the magical gifts that each of us bring to the world. I walked away inspired, understood and driven to further explore my authentic self, further assisted by the voluntary monthly meetups that Richelle facilitates. A course that every woman of any age should have the privilege to attend.

"After a very recent relationship breakup I felt drawn to attend the Journey into the Underground Forest experience. I am so happy that I trusted my intuition – it proved to be so much more than I had imagined and was very powerful. Richelle shares the myth and the meanings as well as tools to help to process, surrender and integrate as we explore different perspectives. Life tools to living an authentic life. I feel like a whole new enriched and empowered version of myself on the other end of the weekend and for the moment happy to be alone."

Richelle skilfully and lovingly through myth and storytelling created a safe, sacred space to explore my inner landscape where I could gain a deeper understanding of my self and at the same time heal a deep wound that had blocked my creativity, self-expression and self love. A powerful process that inspired me to continue my journey of self discovery and personal healing. It was like the course was designed just for me. I am forever grateful for the experience.

I participated in the Journey into the Underground Forest weekend with a group of close friends and what a journey it was.
We learned to communicate and experience myth and storytelling in a very unique and powerful way. Richelle is a wonderful facilitator who held the space with grace and guts and pushed our boundaries constantly. I felt full and exhausted after the weekend and spent the following weeks reviewing and processing all I had ingested. Thank you Richelle for doing the work that you do.
