The women of Wild Rivers Collective came together after many beautiful heart longings for creating threshold mentorship for the young feminine. We are Shea, Magnolia and Hanna; the village aunties. We carry a shared vision that supports these young, vibrant, wild rivers on their path of becoming their more authentic selves. We offer soulful and applicable guidance for youth navigating disconnected times. We honor the tender threshold between who they have been and who they are becoming. We remind young ones how to listen to the song of the earth and to the wisdom of the wild river within. We weave a sense of responsibility to self, to land, to more than human kin and to one another.

Shea Bodine

Over the past 12 years, Shea has worked with young people in a variety of settings as a classroom educator, nature-based educator, and emotion resilience mentor. Through her LLC Rooted Resilience, she runs nature-based mentorship & education programs for young people. She weaves practices of non-violent communication, trauma-informed mentoring, somatic practices, and guidance from the Wilderness Awareness Institute into all that she does. In 2023, she completed a Rites of Passage Guide training with EarthPath Education. She continues her study of the great Mystery through deep listening, herbalism and wildcrafting, and general courtship with the unseen and ancestral realms. She is a mama to two sons, whose wild rivers are always teaching her. It is her deep desire that young ones have a place where they can be immersed in gentle and grounded guidance; experience a true sense of belonging and share their most authentic Self with the world.

Magnolia Medlin

Magnolia is a somatic parts-work therapist based in the Columbia River Gorge, who weaves together her training in Somatic Experiencing, Voice Dialogue Parts Work, and two years living and training at a Buddhist monastery to tend spaces of deep listening, creative emergence, and soul connection. She has trained with the School of Lost Borders and she leads women's wilderness rites of passage. She continues to train in community resilience and trust-building with the Peace Research Center and healing biotope of Tamera in Portugal. Her mission is to help midwife the force of life wherever it has become stuck, confused, or stagnant, and to help our young ones find freedom from the inner judge so they can discover their unique way of loving the world.
