The Devoted Maiden

The Elixir Keeper

She's the part of you that once believed a backyard clam pool could brew medicine. She never stopped believing. This workbook is your way back to her: her shadows, her holy power, and the wild, wide-eyed magic she's been keeping for you.

The clam cauldron

A pink rose from her mother's garden. Gum nuts and papery seeds from beneath the trees. Long blades of grass, pulled one by one. She hums as she gathers, then scatters it all across the water and whispers incantations she doesn't understand, with total authority.

Then she spins. And rising from her, unseen by anyone, is a glittering gold.

Her elixir was made of nothing but delight, and it was more potent than anything a grown-up could think their way into. She's still in you. It's time to light her up again.

Who it's for

For the woman whose colour has faded somewhere along the way.

Maybe you were told to grow up and stop dreaming. Maybe no one noticed you at all. Maybe you were scolded so often that being in trouble started to feel like who you are. However she was left, your inner Maiden adapted to survive. This is where you turn back towards her.

Life feels grey, heavy or far too grown-up.

You storm, hide or scold yourself, and you'd love to understand why.

You're ready to play, wonder and trust your knowing again.

What's inside

Four parts, to read once and return to whenever she calls

PART ONEThe shadow MaidenThe abandoned, the neglected and the punished Maiden, and the many faces of the scolded child, each met with compassion.

PART TWOHer holy powerInnocence, wonder, curiosity, imagination, play and trust, grounded in psychology and Indigenous ways of knowing.

From Kia

"The Maiden always comes to me when I am discovering something new. On my first solo trip, wandering the alleys of Bali, I wore her wide-eyed awe around every corner, and she quietly changed how I see the world."

Inside, I share the whole story, and what she taught me about the life I truly want.
