The Cavewoman Way is the private practice of Michelle Rigling, PhD, M.Sc., MBA. Michelle has a professional background in social work and trauma-informed therapeutic care as well as wellness event planning. Michelle specializes in Trauma-Informed Transpersonal Counseling, a blend of depth psychology, traditional counseling, and spiritual practices that empower and bring balance to the whole self w

hile honoring our life experiences teachers and healers themselves. As a Transpersonal Practitioner, Michelle holds space for hard questions and deep introspection, recovery and renewal, spiritual questing, and whole-self healing - tending to our emotional, social, and physical selves as well as our spiritual, intuitive, and creative selves. The Cave is a place for wisdom seekers, wild hearts, wanderers, modern mystics, and anyone who desires a deeper, more meaningful life. Throughout time, people have gathered in caves for healing, visioning, ceremony, and dreaming. Caves are places of mystery, deep reflection, remembering, and reconnecting to the soul. Not only does Michelle work with the cave as a metaphor in healing and intuitive work, she also leads retreats and quests in wild caves in the Southeastern USA.

CAVE QUESTS.
SOUL NAMES.
DREAMWORK.
PSYCH*DELICS.

Every once in a while, an article or podcast comes along that I want to share far and wide. The recent blog post and podcast from my dear friend Brian Pearson of The Mystic Cave is one of those. I featured links to these in my e-newsletter today but I also want to share it here. There are many ways to walk a soulful path. There are many ways to journey with nature. There are many ways in which immersing ourselves in the wild can lead us back home to the wild within ourselves. This is the work of The Cavewoman Way (my private practice) and the inspiration behind the unique herbal conferences and retreats that we offer. If you have time to give the podcast a listen, I highly recommend it!
