Our topic:  Reclaiming Wild Woman with Sacred Warrior Vanessa Chakour

About: Vanessa has been cultivating her multi-dimensional approach as a teacher, artist, athlete and trainer for over 15 years. After a series of physical issues at a young age, including chronic asthma and a car accident in which she fractured her back and neck, Vanessa found healing and release of internal limitations through creative expression, athletic training, and meditation. She is an avid environmentalist who has studied and taught with renowned Herbalists such as Robin Rose Bennett and Matthew Wood and recently partnered with El Jardin Escondido in Costa Rica where she teaches, runs retreats and studies the local indigenous, latin and afro-caribbean medicines. She has an incredible partnership with the Wolf Conservation Center in So Salem NY where she offers Sacred Warrior workshops and rewilding retreats that also educate about the true nature of wolves and their vital role in our ecosystem.

A personal trainer since 1996, Vanessa has worked at top NYC gyms such as Chelsea Piers in addition to overseeing and creating boxing programs, working with fighters for the Golden Gloves and fine-tuning trainers’ teaching technique. Learn more: http://sacredwarrior.co
