The Calling
How She is calling for You…
Along your path, you’ve gathered knowledge, skills, experiences and wisdom. Some through years of study and practice, others through the unexpected turns of life.
Even if you haven’t heard her name, she’s the one inviting you to recognise all that you carry.
To trust the wisdom you’ve earned, and to explore how your unique medicine wants to find its place more fully in your life.
Who this journey is for
The women you’ll
meet in the circle
I mentor and coach women who hold space for others, one-to-one with clients or guiding groups or teams. Women often come to me when they sense a new cycle or transition beginning in their life, their work or their spiritual practice.
With The Medicine Woman Archetype, we’ll look at the gifts you already draw on and how you want to use them now.
The Medicine Woman Archetype journey is an invitation to bring these different parts of your life together, to recognise the medicine you carry and discover how to share it in a way that feels natural and true to you.
You’re beginning something new or reshaping the work you already do. You want to bring your knowledge, experience and gifts together into work that feels your own, with greater clarity and confidence in how you offer it to others.
You’re exploring a new direction or seeing a familiar path with fresh eyes. You want space to reflect on what you’ve learned and lived, and to discover where it might lead you in your personal life, your spiritual practice or your work with others.
You’ve found your own way of working with people, and they’ve come to rely on you. You want to deepen what you offer while honouring your boundaries and making room for the practices that sustain you.
You’ve helped shape a practice, a community or a body of work that matters to others. The way you lead influences how people work together and whose voices are heard. As your own sense of purpose evolves, you want space to consider what you’ll carry forward and where others are ready to lead alongside you.
Why I work with archetypes
A mirror to recognise
yourself through.
“For me, an archetype gives us an image through which we can recognise and explore qualities within ourselves.”
The Willow Women Archetypes grew out of my work with women
and over two decades of energy medicine practice.
Again and again, I heard women describe qualities I could also feel in myself. When I drew the nine archetypes, I saw how they formed a map.
Some of these qualities you already know well. Others come into focus as your life changes. In this five week journey we meet The Medicine Woman Archetype fully.
Inside each journey
How we meet an archetype
Each archetype has her own stories, gifts and shadows. I’ll guide you through practices that help you meet her for yourself, explore what feels familiar or unexpected, and find your own way to bring her wisdom into everyday life.
I share the myths, stories and teachings through which I’ve come to know each archetype. We begin to recognise her by what she does, what she protects and the gifts and shadows she carries.
You bring what you’ve learned and lived, along with whatever matters to you now. Together we explore how the archetype helps you see a familiar part of your life with fresh eyes or gives you words for something you’ve sensed for a long time.
We’ll practise together in our live workshops, and you’ll have guided meditations and exercises to return to in your own time. You’ll have space to explore how it feels to embody her qualities in your own way.
In story and ceremony, we meet the shadows she carries. We work with what is alive for you, or reveal what is still hidden and explore how they can be turned into medicine.
As you come to know her more deeply, you begin to recognise the wisdom you already live and the qualities you’re still growing into. What you discover in circle finds its way into how you listen to yourself, how you live and lead, and how you share your gifts with the people around you.
The Medicine Woman Archetype
Your path has shaped your medicine.
The archetypes have journeyed through the ages, carried in myths and in the lineages I’ve received. Each is a fully integrated form of energy.
Over our five weeks together,
we’ll meet The Medicine Woman Archetype through story and myth.
I’ll invite you to explore how she shows herself to you, in the images that come as you listen and in the ways you already embody her qualities in your life and work.
The shadows and their medicine
Bringing the unseen into the light.
Each archetype has her shadows: parts of ourselves we don’t yet see. In a supportive circle of women, we will explore our patterns that arise around leadership, recognition, boundaries and belonging.
You’ll meet your own shadows with honesty and compassion, learning to recognise when they influence you.
The more familiar we become with our own shadows, the more room we create to meet yourself with understanding.
She Who Knows All
After years of practice, we trust what has worked for us. When someone questions our way, we may find ourselves defending it before we’ve heard them out. Sometimes the woman we taught has found a way we’ve never tried.
The Medicine: I can stand in my wisdom and still learn in every encounter.
The Wicked Woman in The Woods
In solitude, we listen to the land and journey into the unseen. Sometimes we stay in the woods because we fear no one will understand what we bring back. We welcome the woman who comes to us for guidance, yet hesitate when she invites us to her table.
The Medicine: I can walk my own path and still belong.
The Keeper of Secrets
Knowledge becomes wisdom and medicine when we share it with our community. Our teachers trusted us with practices we’ve since made our own. Now another woman asks to learn, and we hesitate. If she can carry this lineage too, will there still be a place for me here?
The Medicine: I can honour what I carry and allow others to find their own way.
Exploring collective and individal shadows
During the 5 weeks we’ll explore how shadow aspects tunrs up in our life and learn how to work with them.
A Bridge Between Worlds
She journeys.
She listens.
She returns.
The Medicine Woman Archetype walks between the visible and unseen worlds, guided by her relationships with the spirits, the ancestors and the living Earth.
Through her journeys, she seeks wisdom, healing and guidance, bringing what she discovers back to the people and communities she serves.
Over the years, she learns the art of deep listening. She becomes more aware of her own fears, desires and expectations, learning to recognise when they may cloud her understanding.
This is part of becoming the Hollow Bone — a clear and grounded channel through which wisdom can flow.
During the 5 weeks these are aspects and qualities you’ll explore and bring into your life and work.
Noomi’s story
“I trust
myself more.”
Noomi took part in several journeys with The Willow Women Archetypes. Along the way, she chose to work one-to-one with Helena through Warrior Goddess Coaching.
“I feel more comfortable being myself and, perhaps most importantly, I trust myself more.
Six months ago, the thought of speaking up in a room full of knowledgeable people, or cracking a goofy joke and laughing out loud in the break room at work, would have made me feel quite self-conscious. Now, those things feel much more natural to me. And I’m happier because of it.”
Noomi V.
01
Where she was
Noomi wanted more freedom to be herself. She felt ready for a change, but old beliefs and fear of judgement still held her back.
02
What we did
In our one-to-one sessions, I gave Noomi tools to explore the parts of herself she wanted to understand. She could see which patterns she was ready to change.
03
What changed
Noomi felt freer to speak among people whose knowledge she respected. Joking with colleagues felt more natural, and she was happier for it.

Week 3
Embodied Leadership
There comes a time when we begin to see our own journey differently. As our wisdom grows, so does our understanding of the responsibility that comes with it. In this journey we embody The Medicine Woman Archetype and bring her into our lifa and work.
04
Week 4
Meet Your Shadows with Greater Awareness
Each archetype has her shadows: parts of ourselves we don’t yet see. In ceremony, we meet the shadows of The Medicine Woman Archetype as they appear in our own lives. Each encounter is a micro-initiation, helping us live her qualities more fully.
05
Week 5
Live and Lead with Your Medicine
Your medicine can become part of how you lead a team, support your family or. work with clients. How you make decisions, hold boundaries or care for the land. The wisdom you’ve gathered can find its place in your everyday life, in ways that feel natural and true to you.

Lotta’s story
“This is my path,
and I stand firmly in it now.”
Lotta has worked with Helena through several journeys in The Willow Women Archetypes.
“I feel that I’m finding my way home more and more with each archetype we get to know.
I’ve found a whole new way of living and working. Before, I was so involved in doing and fixing things for others. Now I realise I only need to be myself and stand in my own light.
I feel incredibly strong. It’s an enormous inner strength.”
Lotta
01
Where she was
Much of Lotta’s energy went into getting involved and fixing things for other people.
02
What we did
Through inner journeys, Lotta first encountered the archetype beside her in her inner temple. During the work, that presence became something she felt within herself.
03
What changed
Small rituals helped her carry that connection into ordinary life, even while driving or working. Around others, she discovered the value of simply being herself and standing in her own light.
What You Will Bring
Into Your Life
During our time together, we will gather our own medicine bags, both metaphorically and physically. To honour the path that has brought us here, and learn how we can share our unique medicine with the world.
A clearer understanding of your medicine.
Discover how your skills, experiences, training and gifts belong together, and explore practical ways to share your unique medicine with your community.
A deeper relationship with your shadows.
Meet your patterns around leadership, power, boundaries and belonging in a supportive circle of women. Develop greater awareness of how these patterns influence your relationships and the way you guide or support others.
A more embodied way of living and leading.
Explore how to bring your wisdom and spiritual practice into your everyday life, work and relationships, including with people who don’t share your spiritual interests or beliefs.
And throughout the journey, you’ll have a circle of women beside you, offering space for reflection, connection and the opportunity to receive as well as give.

Pay What You Can
If you feel called to join but the full price is beyond your means, I’d love to meet you and find a way for you.
I’ve known times when money was scarce and my longing to learn was strong. Some of my teachers welcomed me and let me contribute what I could. Their generosity made a lasting difference. This is one way I honour the lineages I’ve received and pass that generosity forward.

What Others Experience
Your guide · Helena Willow
A Living Relationship with
The Medicine Woman Archetype
“The Medicine Woman walks with me like a steady heartbeat. A rooted presence. A deep knowing that I have everything I need.”
At my first journey circle with Howard and Elsa Malpas in South London, the drum opened something within me. The shamanic path had been calling for some time, and I had hesitated. Now, journeying into the unseen worlds, I felt a deep recognition. I had come home.
I began training with them in 2009. Ten years later, during my Soul Regeneration Practitioner training, I experienced an even deeper homecoming. This time, I truly came home to my body.
The forest and the land became my healers and guides. Walking, sitting on huge stones and listening, I began to understand how the wisdom of our spiritual practice needs to become part of how we live.
My own longing for belonging became part of my medicine, too. It led me to seek out my people and create communities where others could find connection, friendship and room to grow.
Today, I still journey between worlds and learn from my helping spirits. I also find my medicine in caring for my family, tending the land of my ancestors and gathering women around the fire.
After all these years, I’m still learning to carry my medicine with wisdom, humility and responsibility. That is what I bring to our circle, where we honour our paths, meet our shadows with compassion and explore how our unique medicine finds its place in the world.
With roots in the earth and stardust in my hair,
Helena Willow
