About Shelley May Petra

Shelley is a woman wilding. She is a Creatrix, an adventuress, a yogini. She’s a guide, a witch, and a channel for the Feminine Divine. She is the mother of three children whom she finds challenging and is inspiring. She loves their playfulness and big courageous hearts.

Shelley is the founder of My Sensual Nature, connecting you to your sensual nature and your soul’s purpose. She is hostess of the Feminine Divine Mystery School, and owner of Organic Earth Designs. She has been an entrepreneur for 17 years with several successful businesses and failures. She is a Certified Dream Coach® through Dream University and a student of Marcia Weider, America’s Dream Coach®. She spent a year in Dream University’s The Meaning Institute®, lead by Marcia.

Shelley is a outdoor enthusiast and has climbed and coached climbing for 18 years. She incorporates her favorite adventures into My Sensual Nature retreats and workshops, and into her Dream Coaching®. 

Shelley has also been studying the sacred flow of the feminine under the tutelage of Lisa Lister and several of her ShePower® programs. These programs, her own experience as a woman and her close connection to Mama Earth have given Shelley great insight on the rhythms and cycles of the feminine. She incorporates this into all her teachings.

Perhaps the most important facet of Shelley May Petra is her self-ownership. Life can not force her into a mold. She molds herself. Shelley was raised in the West, exploring deep canyons and high mountain ranges with her large family. She grew into her gifts as an avid rock climber and canyoneer, artist and leader. Nature schooled her steps and she discovered wisdom in its subtly and determination in the challenge. Lessons that guided her to the summits of The Grand Teton, Pingora and the Wolf’s Head. She gave birth to three children and started her own  businesses with the same pertinacity learned from Nature.

Outward accomplishment is a mirror of her inward journey. Shelley matured in a culture and religion steeped in patriarchy, She walked paths of deep shame for her femininity and natural sensuality. Her journey of self acceptance is an ongoing road of peaks and valleys, but simultaneously of enlightenment. Looking back on these experiences, the sages and teachers that lined the way, a human kinship distilled in her mind. She began to reach out to people of all walks.
She learned to be a healer and advocate for the feminine divine. She is a belly-dancer, an imperfect mother, a disappointing daughter. She is a crone, a maiden, a mother and a wild woman. She harvests wisdom from each of these archetypes, and owns them, good and bad, light and dark. Then shares her understanding with others. She is reaching out to you. Join her in the wilding.
