What Is The AWAKEN Mentoring Framework?

If you are familiar with my work. If you have read my book When She Wakes, She Will Move Mountains then you would have heard me mention my AWAKEN Mentoring Framework. My AWAKEN Mentoring Framework contains the steps that I believe are necessary for us as women to be initiated into in order to truly reconnect with who we are at our purest essence. Each letter in the word AWAKEN represents a step or a pillar. I use these pillars to inform my work as a Midlife Mentor. I use the AWAKEN Mentoring Framework to support the women I work with in my online community, The Feminine School of Unlearning.

At the beginning of our healing journey, we contain so many parts of ourselves that are hidden from us. Before we can start to heal, or ‘unlearn’ we must first become aware of our beliefs and our shadows. When we do this we can explore and decern what is working for us. And we can uncover the things that we would like to let go of and release.

W – Wild

Most women have been ‘tamed’ or domesticated in some way. This ‘taming’ led us to disconnect from our true selves.  One of the first steps we need to take is to ‘rewild’ ourselves.

At The Feminine School to Unlearning, the definition of a Wild Woman, is a woman comfortable in her own skin, connected to who she is. She trusts her instincts and intuition and lives her life consciously on her own terms.

By the time most women find our community they are in their Feral Wild Woman state.  A Feral Wild Woman is a woman who used to be wild, was tamed in some way and is once again free. However, due to her domestication, she has lost her connection with her natural instincts and intuition. In this state, a Feral Wild Woman is vulnerable and easily led back into being trapped or made a victim again.  Unsure what to do with her newfound wildness she may be led to substance abuse, unhealthy relationships or destructive behaviours.

The Feminine School of Unlearning is a safe place for a Feral Wild Woman to explore what is important to her.  

In the Wild pillar, we do the important shadow work and necessary healing to enable us to trust ourselves and our wildness.

A – Authentic Self

This is the pillar where we practice self-acceptance, self-love and self-forgiveness. We really get to know who we are and embrace and love ourselves.  As we learn how to do this for ourselves, we discover new ways to set important boundaries. And we begin to feel safe to be seen by others as the beautiful, sovereign Queen of our own lives.

K – Knowing Self

In the Knowing Self pillar, we tune into and listen to our inner guidance system. Through our understanding of our own unique energy and our innate values, we learn to trust and consider ourselves. In this pillar, we learn to trust and rely on our instincts and intuition as our primary compass in life.

E – Empowered Self

In the Empowered Self pillar, we learn skills and tools that empower us to make conscious decisions for ourselves and our lives.  The Empowered Self pillar is the domain of the Queen Archetype. In this pillar, The Queen represents the mastery of empowerment.

N – Normalisation

Normalisation is the final pillar. When it comes to a healing journey we cannot always be in growth mode.  We need time to reflect and decern for ourselves as to what fits with us. It is vital for us to give ourselves the space to integrate and embody what we have learned in a meaningful way.
