I am coming to you today with a heavy heart. And a whole dose of vulnerability for what I am about to share here.
Over the last few three years - since we decided to stop regular WILDWOMAN boxes - things have been incredibly challenging. It has been difficult for many of my fellow small business owners too - I know there are many of us facing difficult decisions right now. And for me personally, there has been a lot of uncertainty and many things that have happened outside of my control. A theme which again feels like it runs through us all collectively at the moment.
I have done everything I can to keep things afloat and to keep things going.
But over the last 6 months, and after a particularly challenging start to 2024…something has to give.
I have taken time to consider and to listen.
To breathe into what comes next…and I have reached a decision.
As of June 30th, WILDWOMAN as you know it will be no longer.
WILDWOMAN has been set up to self sustain itself and only in the last year was it able to turn over its first very small profit. That has meant there has been a lot of sacrifice and a lot of commitment and work from me to enable this business to continue.
I feel that its existence needs to align more with my own life and the journeys of us all.
The reason why it even existed is because I wanted to create a safe space for us all to feel held and well…present. The rumblings of ‘Place to be Present’ came because of WILDWOMAN. And that ‘place’ is where we will begin our next bloom.
It’s not about the stuff we have. The material possessions we carry. Or even the books that fill our shelves.
The WILDWOMAN brand will transform into ‘Place to be Present’ - retreats, events and community will all take this new identity.
In celebration of all that WILDWOMAN has been and all the ways it can inspire you to take some time for you, today we announce our FINAL box.
The Farewell Box.
I really hope that you will support this move and this change.
I know it’s one that I have feared could happen but one that I have full trust, has just run its course just like some things in life do.
I appreciate and know that there would be no WILDWOMAN without you 🤍
