wild: free, natural, unrestrained, uncontrolled
The Wild Uterus Project is a craft-based project that helps individuals connect with their creative power, promotes bodily autonomy, and reduces stigma and shame surrounding the female reproductive system.
The uterus is a powerful symbol that holds many meanings across cultures. It’s often celebrated as the creative center; a vessel not only for creating life, but for birthing ideas, projects, and dreams into the world.
The uterus can also hold negative connotations individually and societally. Individuals may have shame around menstruation and sexuality, grief related to infertility or miscarriage, anger due to pelvic pain or reproductive injustice, or trauma due to sexual assault. These negative associations with the uterus and pelvic area can cause many to become detached from this part of the body and therefore disconnected from their personal and creative power.
By consciously connecting with this symbol, individuals can start to heal these wounds, reclaim their bodily autonomy, and cultivate a loving and empowered relationship with their bodies.
