Indigenous Wisdom with Julia Carmen

This month, we begin walking with the Queen archetype—the one who stands in her glory and knows who she is. When we understand the archetype we lead with, comparison falls away, and our nervous system begins to settle. You are not here to become someone else. You are here to remember who you already are.Learn more about The School Without Walls and the Dragonfly Guides:Get your free guide: 10 Questions to Ask Your Soul SelfEnroll in The Magical Papers (50% off until February 28th with code BIRTHDAY50)Listen to Diamond Dragonfly's MessageSchedule a free Cafecito y Chisme Call with JuliaLearn more about Master Alma Class (MAC) sessionsExplore The School Without WallsConnect with us on Instagram and FacebookProduction assistance from Podlad.com and Daypack Digital.
