Inktense journal process |
Some of the inquiries:
- what needs to change?
- What are some of my superpowers, magical tools and qualities?
- How will I develop and access them?
Emerging in the early 1940s, Wonder Woman was a new role model for girls and women, at a time these roles and opportunities were rapidly changing. She was brave, with both strength and beauty, a natural leader, who redefined everyday qualities. The child of an Amazon and a demi-God, Wonder Woman still inspires and invites us to tap our own superpowers and our humanity.
- She has a lasso of truth
- Speaks all languages (how do we communicate/receive information?)
- Magic bracelets to defend herself (how do we do this, with least harm to others?)
- Liberation - approach each mission unencumbered by past experiences - but with the wisdom gleaned from them.
- Theme Song to engage power
- What to Wear Dare - what reminds me my own superpowers?
We've been exploring our symbols of power, our allies and mission, good and "bad" angels/behaviours we want to explore, and ones which no longer serve.
We began with string (red thread) dipped in paint, and putting nadis/ lay lines on our canvas (I love round canvases, and chose to use one for my WW.) I had my students begin this way in our Gaia class, a wonderful way to connect with the energy!

Amazing!!! Absolutely amazing and beautiful! I love your process. And the idea of Wonder Woman as a theme, and a way to connect to string inner parts of ourselves. Love her! -Jeanine
