& Wild Woman
Mary Daniels is a speaker, mentor, facilitator, consultant and community builder whose work bridges leadership, personal growth, mental wellbeing, the feminine principles, and the power of human connection.
Mary began her journey into personal and spiritual development, leadership, and public speaking at just 17 years old and for more than three decades now, has coached, mentored, trained, and worked alongside people from all walks of life across several continents.
Her work has spanned schools, prisons and young offenders’ programmes, inner-city charities, human rights foundations, NGOs, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and senior leaders. She has designed and facilitated leadership programmes, retreats, social action initiatives, and spaces for personal and spiritual growth.
Mary previously served as Co-Director of Alternatives, the UK’s longest-running mind, body, and spirit events organisation, and was one of the founding educational panel members for Mosaic, an initiative of The King's Trust. During her time there, she was nominated for Mentor of the Year and invited to 10 Downing Street in recognition of her contribution to young people’s lives.
Alongside designing and supporting the rollout of a children’s nature connection and environmental action programme, Mary embarked on a profound trip visiting several sacred sites linked to the divine feminine and the Black Madonna.
Mary has since been exploring the messages, symbolism and power of The Black Madonna and divine feminine in modern life and leadership. Through talks, circles, retreats, art and workshops, Mary shares insights and the messages and deeper wisdom she has been receiving through working with the energy of Mary and The Black Madonna.
Hello,
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
