Renee Baribeau
Activate the energies of the protective Wind Goddess, Cardea, and others — to navigate any situation and connect with your true essence.
Create a new map for your life... guided by the wind’s transformative energies.
Discover ‘timebending’ and experience the ease and wonder of nature’s healing rhythms.
For Thousands of Years, the Wind Has Been a Guide for Safe Passage During Challenging Times
Do you find it’s easy to get swept up in the day-to-day chaos and uncertainty in our world… causing you to lose your mooring?
You may even forget that you have a destiny… a life plan, which was set in motion long ago.
Perhaps to reground yourself, you’ve learned to invoke the wisdom of animals, trees, and other helping spirits to guide you through shamanic journeying.
There’s another equally powerful source of guidance you can turn to: the Wind.
The wind can provide you with an inner compass for navigating life — in tune with your innate wisdom and soul’s calling.
Like helping spirits accessed by shamans, and the archetypal energies in nighttime dream images, the wind is an alchemical force and ally you can align with whenever you need guidance.
The wind will connect you with the cyclical ways of nature, inviting you to “bend time” by stepping out of your linear, calendared life and into the rhythms of the seasons and natural world...
It inspires us to let go of the “shoulds” and open to a life that flows more easily around obstacles and into new possibilities.
To harness the wind’s profound healing power and wisdom for your life, though, you must be in full alignment with it.
When you become aligned with the wind, you’ll naturally stand strong through any storm that comes your way, clearing the path for your true purpose and creativity...
The energies and wisdom of the wind have been revered for thousands of years — passed down in creation myths about Wind Gods and Goddesses and magical Wind Spirits — and honored as a source of fertility and rejuvenation, a guide for safe passage during challenging times, and more.
And the four cardinal winds hold specific wisdom and transformative energies: the East tells of new beginnings; the West relates to your physical body; the South reveals your emotional needs and desires; and the North tells the tale of your spiritual Self.
In Become a Wind Alchemist, Nautilus Gold Award-winning author, soul coach, and wind whistler Renee Baribeau shows you how to become present with the winds blowing through YOUR life.
As you journey through this program, you’ll learn how to use the transformative energies of the wind to create a new map for your life — while also drawing from its power and wisdom to restore balance, guide your creativity, and help you heal your body and mind...
Activating the Energies of the Wind Gods & Goddesses
The ancient Wind Gods and Goddesses hold wisdom, archetypal strength, and magical powers we can draw from to live more authentic and fulfilling lives. They remind us of our deep connection to nature — to our humanity.
They show us how to live through nature’s fluctuating climates as well as through the everyday struggles of being human.
They also reveal the secrets of energetic harmony — the balance of our physical, spiritual, and energetic selves — necessary to help us bring a “better” us into the world.
The Wind Gods and Goddesses you’ll “meet” on this 7-module journey hold the primordial energies inherent in us all…
… energies awaiting your recognition so they can constellate the power and wisdom within to help you shift your perception, personal timing, and soul rhythm to live a more creative, authentic, and happy life.
