THE AUTHENTIC WOMAN

A 4-month transformative journey for women who want to unfold their hearts and come alive to the richness and beauty of who they really are.

Because the earth is calling out for authentic women.

“Women find their way back to themselves not by moving up and out into the light like men, but by moving down in the depths of the ground of their being.”

— Maureen Murdock - The Heroine’s Journey

Does This Sound Familiar?

You’re a woman aged between 45 and 65 who knows she is meant for more. Something richer. Something deeper.

You might not know what that is exactly but you know it’s your true life’s work.

But it requires you to unfold your heart.

By this stage in your life, you’ve likely experienced loss, challenges and difficult relationships, You’ve had decades of conditioning and looking after everyone else.

You’ve probably forgotten who you really are underneath all that.

It’s likely you’ve faced huge upheaval and disruption as life shakes you awake to ask: ‘Do you remember why you came here?’ With lessons for you to learn that can come in the most painful of ways.

Loss, divorce, illness, caring for others and being taken off the track you had envisioned for your own life.

And as a result, you have closed your heart tight shut.

Too tender and vulnerable to be hurt any further.

You. Feel. Nothing.

Heart? What heart? Only numbness.

This is the invitation for those of you who are brave enough, ready enough, to start to gently unfold your heart.

This is how you come alive again.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

— Anais Nin

Over the course of 4 months we will journey together to explore the following four themes, reclaiming who you really are, piece by piece:

1. Unfolding Her Heart:

Petal by petal as you start to unfurl the bud of your heart, you’ll discover both light and shadow. Both are welcome as we uncover what makes you unique.

Layers of protective covering will be shed as we do the work to help you feel safe (perhaps for the first time ever) and reveal the gifts an opened heart can bring. This heart is the true source of our creative power.

Our Journey: From tightly closed to gently opening.

You reclaim: The Open-Hearted Woman

2. Unfolding Her Truth:

There are places in our lives where we don’t speak truth; to ourselves or others. As women there are many reasons why this is the case. Here we explore what’s not being said, and what’s being held onto that isn’t ours.

As we continue to unfold and heal our hearts, and with the support of each other, we’ll step into authenticity and alignment. The earth needs fully authentic women.

Our Journey: From misalignment to integrity.

You reclaim: The Authentic Woman

3. Unfolding Her Vitality:

You’re not alone if you are exhausted and tired. The women I work with rarely describe themselves as feeling ‘vital and fully alive.’

Here you’ll discover your own answers to what you need to do in order to nourish, care for, and be grounded in your body - but only after we’ve continued to unfold and heal the hidden areas of your heart that are keeping you from a deep sensuous connection with that same body.

Our Journey: From depleted to replenished.

You reclaim: The Embodied Woman.

4. Unfolding Her Purpose:

Now the body is starting to come more alive, we’ll move to exploring what makes YOU come alive. You’ll create a deep connection to who you came here to be; your purpose and direction, along with the deep trust that you are fully supported in being the full expression of all that you are.

This is our role as women living our third chapters - to be fully ourselves - in service of those who come after us.

Our Journey: From lost to aligned and living on purpose.

You reclaim: The Fully-Expressed Woman.

“The journey into elderhood is a spiritual passage above all and the purpose of the second half of our lives is to grow into the person that we were always meant to become.”

— Sharon Blackie

Who Am I To Run This Program?

My name is Nicola Bird and I have a background in Psychology, am a Master Transformational Coach, Hay House author, entrepreneur and trained in Human Design, Three Principles and many other modalities. I have shared my approach with hundreds of individuals and organisations such as LinkedIn, Osteobiz and Grow Strong Business and appeared in The Telegraph and The Guardian amongst others.

I’m 52 and a wife, mother, daughter and sister.

I have been on my own journey of intense personal disruption, waking up to my womanhood and making a shift from living in my head to living from my heart. And other women have been (and continue to be) of immense help to me on my journey.

I have learned how to unfold my heart and heal it - and continue to do so every day.

My personal period of disruption has brought me the gift of deep roots, surrender and an ability to hold space of others as they go on their own journeys.

Now it’s my turn to pass on what I have learned to you.

You can trust me with your heart.

I’m safe.

Plus - Your Personal Human Design Reading

You’ve probably looked at your Human Design Chart and wondered what all the numbers and lines mean.

What secrets does it hold for you, that would allow you to make sense of your life and what’s going on for you right now?

I normally charge £250 for these sessions, but for this beta-program ONLY, I am including a 90-minute personal Human Design Chart reading with me for anyone who is able to use the single-pay option below.

The intention behind these sessions is twofold: so that I can better understand the women who are drawn to my work and so that I can connect with you personally before we even start.

Together we’ll look at an area of your life you’d love to have fresh insight about and see how a deeper understanding of your chart can help.

“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture, and transform.”

— Diane Mariechild

Each week we will gather on zoom every Tuesday from 7pm-8.30pm UK and the entire program will be delivered live (i.e. no pre-recorded videos). We begin Tuesday 3rd September 2024 and finish Tuesday 17th December.

  • Access to future versions of this program created by me as a result of our time together.

What will be the result of this time spent together?

But it will be beautiful. And it will be yours. And it will change your life forever.

FAQs

  • Each Tuesday from 7-8.30pm UK for 16 weeks starting 3rd September.

    Please google to find your time zone if you’re not in the UK!

  • Yes. There will be part of the session where I will be teaching and part of the call where I will be leading you through exercises designed to facilitate insights and your own embodied learning. There will also be plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions.

  • I will be adding one slot per day into my diary from the beginning of April until we start the program. When you join, you’ll be asked to book your preferred day/time.

  • Please ensure you can come to the majority of the calls before you sign up. You will be placed into a small group of women in order to have a peer group to travel this journey with, and so it serves everyone if you can be there to contribute as well as to be supported. That said, if you have to miss a couple of weeks, I understand! But please only sign up if you are committed to the program - this is not a ‘oh I’ll just catch up on the replays’ kind of thing.

  • Yes, each call will be recorded and made available for you to keep.

  • There is a particular shift that happens in a woman when she reaches mid-life that those who have passed (or are passing through this) will understand. It will the basis of our conversation. For that reason, if you’re younger than 45, this program simply won’t be relevant for you….yet. If you’re older than 65, you’re welcome to apply, but priority will be given to those between 45-65 as this work will be particularly relevant for this age. It’s a planetary thing :)

    If you fall outside the 45-65 age range but would still like to explore your Human Design with me, you are invited to book a personal chart reading with me here instead: https://nicolabird.net/reading

  • If this track resonates with you, this program is probably for you.

  • I will let you know if your application is successful within a few days of applying.

    I want to make sure I have the right women in the program however and I don’t want anyone to feel like they need to rush to apply.

    Think it through. Once you know you’re ready…apply.

  • Please email me at hello@nicolabird.net as the investment you have already made in your Human Design Reading will be deducted from the price of this program.

  • I’ll send you one simple zoom link which will be the same for every call. This means you can join by laptop, desktop or phone. That’s it!.

“When I have been stuck, cocooned in this life, it was women who came to free me. Women who reminded  me what I am made of and what I am becoming. Women, who broke my shell, reached for my hands and pulled me out. Not just to fly again, but fly higher than ever before. There is much beauty, much ancient history in the intuitive network of strength, support and silent sisterhood. Treasure it, as you would a very special gift because that’s what it is, my sisters, that is what it is.”

— Donna Ashworth, Sisterhood
