Guest Speaker Courtenay Hameister: In 2003, she was asked by Kate Sokoloff and Robyn Tenenbaum to work on a new idea for a radio variety show that would become Live Wire—now a nationally-syndicated show on over 100 stations nationwide. She was the host, co-producer and head writer for the first 9 years, then stepped down and became just co-producer and head writer for three more years.
In 2016 and 2017, she wrote a book about a year in which she tried to teach her anxious brain that everything would be okay by doing things that scared her. That book is Okay Fine Whatever: The Year I Went From Being Afraid of Everything to Only Being Afraid of Most Things.
Bre Gregg brings the vocals for Portland band Red Bird. Dancing between soul, blues and roots, their sound is both electrifying and intimate. You will be transported to a dimly lit and pulsating music club, but somehow feel you are listening in your best friend’s living room.
Bre is known for her complete vulnerability on stage, captivating every audience. Her writing is filled with joyful, painful and deeply honest feelings about her experiences being human on this crazy planet…something we can all relate to. Leaving a Red Bird show you will feel energized and inspired, somehow feeling as though these songs were written just for you.
I’ve been a creative soul as far back as I can remember despite the fact my artist within lay dormant through much of my early life. I did not have the tools to connect with my muse. It wasn’t until the age of fifty that I met Paul Heussenstamm and learned art as a sacred practice. Paul is a master painter and teacher of the ancient wisdom of the mandala. Through many years of painting with Paul I discovered what dwells deep in my heart. This discovery opened a portal into my creative being and the mandala became my teacher and a tool to give expression to my life. I was able to uncover deeper truths about myself. I began experiencing more connection to nature, around me and from within. My muse was awakened.
Four years ago I met an amazing teacher that changed my life, Shiloh Sophia McCloud. She is an author, master painter, founder of Cosmic Cowgirls, and a visionary soul who teaches women all around the world about intentional creativity. Through my work with Shiloh I deepened my connection with the sacred and divine feminine, gaining the tools to transform "old stories" into legendary ones. I learned a new language for the creative process and how to relate to my Muse.

Here is Mary Suzanne Garvey with my "Mom" collage/project that she inspired and is guiding me through. I felt (and feel) extremely shy about showing artwork I have done because I am no artist, but this, my friends, is more about the EXPERIENCE and the journey and that is why when Mary suggested I share it I agreed even though I think it is still a hot mess (it's not done yet!). But isn't that what it is all about anyhow? Sometimes our lives go from 'Everything is Cool' to 'Hot Mess' in a nanosecond. Women are phenomenal at throwing out support lines and helping each other out.
I want to encourage you Wild Women to seek out art, journaling, meditation, anything that opens you up and allows you to tap into your creativity. Do it for YOU, but also do it for those who love you.

Oh my dear Wild Women, I am BEYOND excited to present to you my latest addition to The Society: WildChild. In the interest of creating a space for women to thrive and grow, we do well to incorporate GRATITUDE. The Society constantly reminds me of the MAGIC of bringing women together to support and care for each other. With that in mind, $2 of each door fee will be donated to the WildChild fund. As is appropriate, the needs of the WildChild will be shared and/or she will attend the party. If you feel so called, it is possible to make additional contributions.
