Wendy Young
Wendy has spent many years investigating what it means to build intentional community. In her work she has felt called to find a place of balance between logic and knowledge with intuition and wisdom. In honor of this balance, she received a Master’s Degree in Rural Community Development and undertakes continuing priestess training with the 13 Moon Mystery School. She is a member of the Priestess Presence Temple. She has spent the last two years developing her own process for embodying the Divine Feminine using Goddess archetypes. Her personal journey has led to some unexpected places, and she hopes that sharing her path may help others on their own journey

These experiences have instilled her desire for manifesting a creative life full of love and powerful healing.
