From best-selling author HeatherAsh Amara comes her brand new book:

"The generosity of HeatherAsh Amara’s guidance is that she turns you into your own guide. This is not a book that tells you what to do. This is a book that wakes up the feral part of you that already knows exactly what to do and how to work with the river of life."

From author and teacher HeatherAsh Amara comes a revolutionary, interactive guide to the energies that make up the flow of our lives: Wild, Willing, and Wise--a contemporary reimagining of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone archetypes.

Whether we realize it or not, our lives are a constant cycle through three energies: the creativity and abundance of Wild, the courage and power of Willing, and the gratitude and surrender of Wise.

HeatherAsh provides in-depth descriptions of the three archetypes, detailing how each presents in excess and deficiency, so that readers can begin to recognize emotional turmoil and hardship as an imbalance of their energies. Combining anecdotes, self-reflection quizzes, simple exercises, and visualizations, Wild, Willing, and Wise teaches readers how to bring the three energies into balance in order to find inner freedom and alignment.

Abundant praise for Wild, Willing, Wise

We don’t evolve when we stay safe and secure in the world of our domesticated desires. What we really need to survive in an age of extinction and climate collapse is to reclaim the wildness of our own embodied wisdom. The generosity of HeatherAsh Amara’s guidance is that she turns you into your own guide. This is not a book that tells you what to do. This is a book that wakes up the feral part of you that already knows exactly what to do and how to work with the river of life.

More from HeatherAsh

What do we do when the world seems to be burning around us?

We hold hands. We show up. We take good action and make good trouble. We root in. We pray. We love. We weep. We sing to the trees. We know we are in this, together.

As a master firewalk instructor and President of the Global Firewalking Association, the irony is not lost on HeatherAsh that when she found herself right on the frontlines of the destruction of climate change, it came in the form of a fire.

Her intent with Out of the Fire is to dance together with the contradictions, and find meaning in the chaos. And to celebrate everything.
