Nervous System Magic & Somatic Imagination for Autistic Soul Embodiment
THE
WILDER WELL
DEAR AUTISTIC WITCH:
YOU WERE BUILT FOR THE DEEP END OF THE POOL.
But a lifetime of masking, shrinking, and editing yourself has drastically altered your capacity to hold the bigness of your magic.
And the depths of feeling, of complexity, of intuition and imagination that are your birthright—and that our collective needs so much right now—remain unexplored.
If we, as Autistic witches, are truly gonna collectively fuck shit up by dreaming, experimenting, and creating new ways of being & thriving in defiance of colonial, patriarchal, and ableist systems of oppression, we're gonna need to practice returning to & drawing from a WILDER WELL.
THE WILDER WELL:
A Four-Month Mentorship in Nervous System Magic & Somatic Imagination for Autistic Soul Embodiment
RESTORE THE FLOW OF YOUR INTUITION & IMAGINATION
LEARN TO TRUST YOUR EMBODIED KNOWING
BECOME YOUR OWN MAGIC & MEDICINE
THIS IS NOT A SALES PAGE. THIS IS A SPELL TO CALL FORTH YOUR FULLEST EMBODIMENT & WILDEST THRIVING.
What this is:
This is not a course where you’re going to learn a bunch of information. This is a MENTORSHIP where you’re gonna learn to be a practitioner of your own nervous system magic. We’re gonna go on mythic adventures together, we’re gonna do some witchy parallel play, we’re gonna experiment and make messes and in the process rewrite our nervous system story, expand our capacity to feel and receive, and imagine new ways of being and thriving.
Who I am:
Autistic, heretic, mystic. Loudmouth GenX stoner, floor sitter, pouch hoarder, trinket worshipper, and lifelong stationery enthusiast. I was trained as a yoga therapist, have had a lifelong fascination with religion and spirituality, especially Catholic mysticism & monasticism, so obviously now I am into tarot, folk horror films, and documentaries about religious and wellness cults. According to the most recently available streaming data I am in the top 0.01% of Taylor Swift listeners worldwide.
Who you are:
Late diagnosed AuDHD. Burnt out perfectionist, longing for a life of meaning but also wonder & whimsy. Into weird & witchy shit, nature, Mary Oliver. Won’t quite dare call yourself an artist but deep down have always known you were one. Attuned to the more-than-human-world. Intense emotions, extreme sensitivity, feel like a weirdo, outsider. You don’t make sense to anyone and the one thing you need more than anything is for things to make sense.
Together we will:
Be the first in our lineages to gather together as Autistic witches to practice nervous system magic and somatic imagination and invent new ways of being, doing, and defiantly thriving.
The whole holy point:
For you to become a SKILLED PRACTITIONER of YOUR OWN NERVOUS SYSTEM MAGIC: a bona fide witch who trusts their body, their knowing, and their practice, who knows how to channel their wild soul, and who knows how to apply the principles of somatic spellwork to rewrite their nervous system story, creating a potent portal into their fullest Autistic soul embodiment & wildest thriving.
Program Features
Four Mythic Journeys
Each month, we'll go on a new mythic journey & ritual together, and you’ll create your own somatic spellwork experiment. We will work on these together during the call, and you'll spend the month experimenting, making messes, having new experiences, and gathering data in your journal.
One call each month; four total.
Mentorship Calls
During Mentorship calls, I will go deep with a handful of students on their somatic spellwork practice: how it's going, what obstacles are coming up, how to interpret the data that's coming up for you, how to tweak the experiment, etc. There will be about 6 spots for each call, and students will sign up for them ahead of time.
One call each month; four total.
Satellite Covens
I love to say that my clients & students need each other as much as, if not more, than they need me, so I'm building that into the curriculum this time. You will have the option to join a small peer-led satellite coven. The idea is for covens to connect with each other, via group chat and/or live calls, outside of our program meeting times. Loose guidelines will be offered for what sort of shape that might take, but each coven will be free to organize themselves. (This is part of my not-so-secret plan to get each of you to flex your leadership muscles… muahahahahaha.)
Frequency: TBD by each satellite coven.
Witchy Parallel Play
Each month, we'll go on a new mythic journey & ritual together, and you’ll create your own somatic spellwork experiment. We will work on these together during the call, and you'll spend the month experimenting, making messes, having new experiences, and gathering data in your journal.
Two calls each month; eight total.
Our Four Mythic Journeys
Month 1: The Cave
In month 1, we'll enter THE CAVE and learn to create a safe retreat for our soul & senses where we can hang out with our baby Autistic witch.
Our companions for this journey: The High Priestess & Page of Cups.
Sacred Text: The Uses of The Erotic by Audre Lorde.
Month 3: The River
In month 3, we dive into THE RIVER, where we reclaim and recover our creative & spiritual lives, and learn to surrender to its depth and flow.
Our companions for this journey: The Moon and Queen of Cups.
Sacred Text: Women Who Run With The Wolves, by Clarissa Pinkola Estés.
Month 2: The Source
In month 2, we'll discover THE SOURCE, that endlessly renewing fount of emotion, imagination, and intuition that has been obstructed with layers and layers of shame, but whose flow can never be extinguished.
Our companions for this journey: The Star and Ace of Cups.
Sacred Text: Enchantment, by Katherine May.
Month 4: The Well
In month 4, we build THE WELL, our own personal practice of Autistic soul embodiment & nervous system magic to which we can return to over and over and over again to reconnect with our wild soul.
Our companions for the journey: Death and The World.
Sacred Text: Rest is Resistance, by Tricia Hersey.

Testimonials
-
Fenn has created an incredibly supportive and magical space. Every time I connect with an event, I feel more peaceful and reminded of pieces of myself that become obscured in the day to day. I feel seen and understood in my experience as a chronically ill queer woman, I feel seen and understood as a practicing occultist. Fenn has gathered such lovely facilitators participants, so the container itself has so much wisdom.
C.C., Soft Animal Coven Member.

With kindness, curiosity, and compassion, Fenn has helped me understand myself in profound ways, supported me in completing the past, and inspired me to step into the future I truly desire. Fenn brings a rare blend of creativity, trauma-informed wisdom, humor and compassion to her coaching. She has helped me access my inner resources, let go of limiting models, and connect more deeply with my own creativity, especially through journaling. With her kindness, magic, and presence, I’ve come to understand myself in profound ways and move toward the future I truly desire.
Shauna, Soft Animal Coven Member.

Working with Fenn is like finding a bed to lay down on that is just the right mixture of soft and firm for my chronically ill body, even when what I need from it is constantly changing. I love how supported and together I feel even on this very solitary journey that is trauma repair and life with chronic illness. Knowing I'm not doing it alone and that someone sees this for the sacred work it is, sees me and the work I'm doing, is deeply healing.
Abi, Soft Animal Coven Member
Meet the witch behind the magic
Fenn Priest (she/her) is an Autistic witch, nervous system psychic, and somatic practitioner. She helps witches & weirdos in rebel bodies expand their nervous system capacity to feel and receive so they can find the embodiment, belonging, freedom, and joy the soft animal of their bodies long for. A loudmouth Gen X stoner hailing from the north woods of Canada, she currently lives in Austin TX with her weird, neurocomplex, polyamorous family, and one bossy black cat named Juniper. She can usually be found putting stickers in her journals and listening to Taylor Swift with noise-cancelling headphones.
