FEMME
A Storytelling Training for Mythic Women
Feeding Their Deepest Stories
FEMME: Feminine Myth Making
IS A SPACE FOR THE WOMAN WHO ARE DEVOTED TO EMBODYIING THE MYTHS AND STORIES SHE IS A GUARDIAN OF
This year long journey is a reclamation of your deepest stories and mythopoetic role as a culture birther.
Stories have always been held and told through women’s bodies, voices and ceremonies. Our imaginations are awakening to the lost ways—images, stories, and wisdom is waiting to be gathered and woven into culture through you!
This has always been our inheritance as women. We may have been robbed of the most powerful creative practice there is: approaching your body as vessel, your inner imagination as sacred, your myth-making gifts as medicine. But the reclamation is here and now.
Feed the aliveness
within your body
Because we have been collectively socialized to abandon our bodies we are disconnected from our somatic imagination, we have denied the mythic impulses that want to express through us and our culture is suffering as a result.
As you heal your relationship to your body you begin to reclaim your imagination from the extractive, systems that demand your disconnection.
A current of mythic stories begins to flow.
Inside of Femme, you submerge within the flow of the mythic imagination. You re-pattern relationship to your body—not as an object performing for the male gaze—but a keeper, tendering, and weaver of stories, medicine, and wisdom.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Monthly Live Calls
Two calls per month- one teaching call and one practice call. Teaching calls dive into the subject matter for that month. Practice calls are a body-led experience of body, story, and ceremony, shaped by what is alive within each student and the collective. Both spaces are guided by a commitment to experiential learning.
Mythic Ceremonies
At the closing of each season (every 3 months) we will co-create a mythic ceremony that will feed our deepening body of work. These ceremonies are both personal and held within the group and will build your facilitation and leadership capacity and confidence as you take your mythic work out into the world.
Sharing Space
A private space where you can share what is moving, be witnessed, and walk alongside each other in the practice. This is a space to land between calls, to share a reflection or what came through in a practice, to feel the presence of other women in the work, and to stay in the thread of what reveals over time.
Unleashing the power of story
Our body organizes experiences into stories. These become the myths that take root in our collective imagination. Inside of our bodies we hold the wisdom to weave personal story into a collective narrative.
In this way, mythic imagination connects us to our bodies in a deeper way so that we can become living myth.
Feminine myth making is an embodied storytelling framework— not just for "creative" women. It is our shared birthright as women and our cultural role.
Feminine Myth Making is where we do that work together.
Inside of Feminine Myth Making you will journey in an intimate slow, sensual and steady creative development intensive with other mythic women, artists, writers, visionaries, healers and creative entrepreneurs who are committed to birthing the stories that they are here to tell through their deepest embodiment and expression.
This space is not ideal for you if you wanting a technical approach to writing and storytelling. It’s likely not for you if you're needing constant reassurance that your stories and voice matter. You already know that they do and you are done walking this path alone.
Inside of Feminine Myth Making, you will be supported by myself, guest guides, as well as the other women in this space. You’ll receive ongoing and consistent feedback, coaching, and support on key stages of the program.
The Journey
-
We have inherited a mythic story of disconnection, disembodiment, and dislocation. On a cultural level this can be understood as the Wasteland. Patriarchy, Colonization, Empire, consumerism, structures of destruction and war, all emerged from a story. The only way into a new story is through our somatic inheritance, which includes the Wasteland.
Core Work:
Identifying personal disconnection from somatic knowing
Tending our personal and collective grief
Recognizing inherited wasteland stories vs. self-determined myths
Somatic awareness practices focused on emotional cleansing, resourcing, releasing burdens and capacity building
Introduction to the concept of "somatic imagination"
-
As we awaken our bodies capacity for traveling through the cultural wasteland of our collective inheritance, we are simultaneously re-vitalizing our soma through our tears. As the grief moves our somatic imagination comes alive. We begin to connect to our body as myth-maker. We begin to perceive with a wider lens. Our body begins to grow its own vision for the future. Not just our own future, but for a wider ecology of belonging.
Core Work:
Developing relationship with the body's image-making capacity
Understanding the difference between societal images, somatic images, and mythic images
Learning to trust bodily impulses in creative practice
Exploring the feminine as "birthers of culture"
-
To be a culture worker or visionary is not a label we claim for ourselves, it is a path that we walk. This path is inherently mysterious. We cannot know where we are going. We are guided by a deeper story (myth) and we are met with cross roads and detours. We encounter archetypal patterns and initiations. Approaching and entering our own mythic path requires ceremony and ritual as we begin to weave our mythic embodiment out into the world.
Core Work:
Understanding personal myth vs. archetypal patterns
Studying how myths organize experience along "the ark of soul initiation"
Identifying your soul's initiatory journey
Connecting inner experience to outer expression
-
Developing an embodied relationship to the felt sense experience of the stories that we are guardians of is a form of rooting. As we deepen our embodied roots we begin to have direct experiences of how our personal stories are connected to the collective narrative. This is a capacity that our storytelling ancestors would have naturally inherited but it is on us to re-weave as we root.
Core Work:
Recognizing patterns in the embodied self that connect to collective mythic body
Understanding interwoven nature of personal and collective stories
Learning to hold individual experience within larger context
Exploring the "somatic unconscious" as shared territory
-
Wisdom is born through direct experience. As we expand our capacity to receive from the mythic realm, as we root deeper into our somatic inheritance as women, we begin to see beyond our own direct experience. Expanded somatic awareness that is translated through our self-expression and embodiment holds the seeds of wisdom that is transmitted beyond the mind.
Core Work:
Expanding somatic awareness
Understanding disconnection from nature as part of the disconnection from mythic wisdom
Developing "mythic images that anchor us to not just our bodies, but the earth’s wisdom
exploring how our own direct experience with the mythic shapes our embodiment and authentic expression
Activate our voices so that we can be transmissions of mythic wisdom
-
In the midpoint of the work, participants reclaim self-determined personal myths as an antidote to the cultural Wasteland, understanding creative practice itself as an ongoing initiation rather than a product to be made. The focus shifts from creation to embodiment — learning to live the myth, integrating what has emerged, and developing sustainable ritual practices that carry the work forward. The arc completes with ceremonies of closure and forward visioning, asking how each person's mythic medicine wants to continue moving through and beyond them into the world.
Core Work:
Claiming personal self-determined myths as "antidote and remedy to the Wasteland"
Understanding creative practice as ongoing initiation
Learning to live the myth rather than just create it
Integration and emergence
-
Your mythology lives in your body, not just your imagination. This module explores how your personal myth expresses itself through posture, gesture, breath, and somatic patterns. You'll develop a movement vocabulary unique to your mythic identity—discovering how your body wants to prayer, to grieve, to celebrate, to claim space. Through guided movement practices and authentic movement exploration, you'll begin to physicalize the archetypal energies you've been tracking. This becomes the foundation for all embodied creative work that follows.
-
Crafting Your Visual & Material
Every myth has its symbolic language—recurring images, materials, colors, and forms that carry meaning. In this module, you'll identify and claim your personal symbolic vocabulary. What images keep appearing in your dreams, your art, your environment? What materials call to you? What colors hold emotional charge? You'll create a living grimoire of your symbols and begin working with them intentionally in your creative practice—not as decoration, but as carriers of soul-level truth.
Creative Practice: Create a material altar or assemblage that holds the core symbols of your current mythic chapter.
-
Mapping Your Mythic Framework for Teaching & Sharing
Your personal mythology contains wisdom others need. This module teaches you how to identify the archetypal patterns, plot points, and transformational stages within your story that can become a framework for guiding others. You'll learn to distinguish between what's intimately personal and what's universally resonant—extracting the mythic structure from your lived experience. This is where your mythology becomes methodology: a teaching that can hold others without requiring them to live your exact story.
Creative Practice: Map your myth as a transformational journey with distinct phases/thresholds that others could recognize in their own lives.
-
Writing & Speaking Your Myth into Being
Your myth wants to be spoken, written, sung. This module focuses on finding the language that carries your mythology with authenticity and power. You'll explore mythopoetic writing, oracle card creation, personal manifesto work, and the art of speaking from mythos rather than explanation. You'll learn to write in ways that evoke rather than describe, that invite others into imaginal space rather than simply informing them. This is where your myth becomes transmissible.
Creative Practice: Write your origin myth, create a set of personal oracle cards, or craft a spoken-word piece that carries your mythic essence.
-
Crafting Objects & Offerings That Hold Your Mythos
Objects carry myth. In this module, you'll learn to create talismans, ritual tools, wearable art, or sacred objects that embody your mythology. Whether you work with fiber, clay, metal, paper, or found objects, you'll discover how to infuse your creative work with intentionality and symbolic meaning. These aren't just beautiful things—they're physical anchors for mythic consciousness, bridges between worlds, and tools for ceremony.
Creative Practice: Create a ritual object or talisman that represents your mythic identity and can be used in ceremony or worn/carried as a reminder.
-
Designing Your First Mythic Container for Others
You've lived your myth, mapped it, embodied it, and expressed it. Now you're ready to hold space for others to discover theirs. In this final module, you'll design your first offering—whether that's a workshop, a ceremonial gathering, a course, a retreat, or a creative collaboration. You'll learn how to create containers that honor the slow, soulful pace of mythic work while providing enough structure for transformation. You'll craft invitations, design experiences, and practice holding liminal space for others' becoming.
Creative Practice: Design and prototype your first mythic offering—complete with structure, ceremony, creative practices, and the framework that makes it uniquely yours.

Meet Your Guide
Jenny Holden is an embodiment guide, storyteller and ceremonialist whose work expresses from the depth of the primordial feminine. For over a decade, she has been guiding women into their mythic and wild bodies through photography ceremony. She supports women to reclaim their instinctual wisdom and share their medicine.
Her work is rooted in the wild imagination of the body, erotic relationship to the earth and elements, and being a sacred witness for embodied truth as it is revealed through the initiatory arc of women’s lives.
Prior to the last 10 years of devotion to her artistry and embodiment work, Jenny spent a decade studying politics, social movements, and collective power. Her work continues to be a bridge between the individual and the collective
FEMME is her OFFERING in service to healing our collective imagination while empowering women to reclaim their deepest stories.
This Offering is for you if
THRESHOLDS AND INITIATIONS ARE SECOND NATURE TO YOU
You're a woman who is called to thresholds of self-initiation but is also committed to collective liberation, justice, or collective. But you can feel you're still operating from your head, performing for validation, stuck in the very disconnection you're trying to address
YOUR ARTISTRY AND CREATIVE VOICE FEEL DULL, DIMINISHED, AND DEPLETED.
You have a creative practice (photography, writing, art, movement) that feels like it should mean something deeper, but right now it just feels like "content" and you don't know how to bridge that gap. You've lost your creative voice or never felt you had one. You're always referencing, replicating, or reacting to what others have made rather than trusting what wants to emerge from you.
YOU ARE IN ANOTHER CYCLE OF BURN OUT
You're exhausted by "content creation" culture but don't know what the alternative is. You feel complicit in something extractive but you also want to create and share and connect. You feel isolated in this longing, like you're the only one who feels this particular ache to create differently, to live more embodied, to stop performing and start being
YOU FEEL LONELY AND ISOLATED IN YOUR WORK
You want to be part of something intimate and held. You're done with large courses where you're anonymous, where there's no real witnessing, where community means a group of strangers performing connection. You have a deep knowing that you belong to a community of femme culture-makers, story-weavers, and image-birthers, and you want to reclaim that lineage in a way that's authentic to YOU, not performative or romanticized
WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH
Your Personal Mythology Unearthed
You'll have descended into your own story—naming the patterns, symbols, and archetypal threads that have shaped you. You'll understand the myth you've been living and the one you're choosing to step into. This becomes the foundation from which all your mythic work emanates.
A Living Practice
You'll cultivate a sustainable rhythm for tending your mythic work—one that honors cycles, seasons, and the body's wisdom. You'll know how to return to your practice when life pulls you away, building capacity for the long devotion your work requires.
An Embodied Story Framework
You'll weave together the myths, symbols, and narratives that give structure to your offerings. This isn't a fixed formula, it's a living framework that evolves with you, allowing you to guide others through transformation while staying rooted in your own becoming.
A Mythic Body of Work
You'll begin building your first offering (or deepening an existing one) with attention to resonance, sustainability, and symbolic integrity. You'll learn to move at the pace of meaning-making, not market pressure—and trust that this depth magnetizes the right people.
Embodied Language That Holds Mystery
You'll discover how to speak about your work in ways that are both clear and evocative—language that invites rather than convinces, that honors complexity without obscuring truth. You'll find your voice beneath the noise of trending frameworks and borrowed vocabularies.
A Devotional Approach to Visibility
You'll create a rhythm for sharing your work that feels like an offering, not an obligation. You'll understand how to build trust and presence without performing or fragmenting yourself across platforms—staying faithful to your creative process while remaining in relationship with your community.
