About Me

Tanya Lines — Founder of Free the Feral Spirit
Come Home to Your Roots

​

I am Willow Sage — Earth Priestess, healer, seer, and spiritual alchemist.

Born under the wide skies of Iowa and rooted in the soil of Kansas, my journey has been anything but ordinary. It has spiraled through trauma, awakening, and reclamation — a descent into darkness that became the very source of my power.

I was raised in a world of strict beliefs, told there was only one right way to live, love, and exist. But my soul always whispered otherwise. By the age of twelve, survival had become my default — carrying the weight of generations while searching for belonging. Through abuse, betrayal, collapse, and loss, something within me refused to dim.

I became a mother of four, shouldering lifetimes of pain, yet carrying a flame of remembrance I could never put out. After the birth of my last child, I entered the world of fitness, believing I had found my calling. But the discipline I cultivated there was only the doorway. The 75 Hard program became a spiritual reckoning — a catalyst that shattered illusions and opened my first awakening. Once the veil lifted, I could never return to sleep.

The path called me deeper — into energy work, shadow alchemy, ancestral remembrance, and communion with the Earth. Living off-grid on 11 acres, I learned the wild ways of homesteading, animal care, and plant medicine. After a traumatic brain injury, Spirit’s voice rang louder than ever: You must leave everything behind to find yourself.

And so I did.

Now I walk in solitude and sovereignty in Denver, Colorado — devoted to Spirit, the Earth, and the soul work of guiding others through thresholds of death and rebirth. In the silence, I unraveled, grieved, and rose — reclaiming the wild woman, the priestess, the oracle I was always meant to be.

Through this journey, I remembered my calling: to hold the lantern for others walking their own descent and rising.

✨ Free the Feral Spirit was born from this remembrance.

Here, I offer sacred pathways of transformation — Spiritual Life Coaching, Intuitive Energy Healing, Hypnotherapy, Shadow Work, Past Life Exploration, Plant Spirit Medicine, Shamanic Journeying & Seidr Magic, Forest Bathing, Chakra Balancing, Inner Child Healing, and Intuitive Readings.

Each session is guided by Spirit and tailored to the soul before me — a weaving of ancient wisdom and modern remembrance that helps you release what no longer serves, reclaim your power, and embody your wholeness.

Free the Feral Spirit is a sanctuary for the seekers, the wounded, the awakening, and the wild.
Here, we walk into the shadow, into the forest, into the mystery — so you may remember who you are and rise into the truth you were always meant to live.

The Grumpy Traveler

 Hello everyone and welcome to my travel blog, where I share beauty of the world through my eyes as a shaman.

The Growing Pains 
Growing up in Franktown, Colorado on a farm with lots of acreage and trees, I developed a profound connection with nature. I used to spend a lot of time alone as a kid because i would walk everywhere on the property, and didn't have many friends because I never really fit into the groups. at about the age of 10, dad let me use his Pentax film camera and I started using it almost every day to get better at compositions and making good shots. I was getting really good at it, and then was told to go to college and earn my living. as I got older I fell into the " American dream" trap and went to college to further my education.  which lead to my degree in Rangeland Ecology and Watershed Management from the University of Wyoming. I had a 9-5 job that was slowly depleting my energy and being stuck behind a desk made me want to fall down a flight of stairs every day. I didn't last long at that job and came back to work farming for my family, and got a second job working at a livestock market for 10 years. I thought the job behind the desk was rough.. boy was I in for a hard life curve there.  I almost died multiple times from wild cattle every day and the 90 hour weeks were destroying my mental health. I decided it was time for a change from the backbreaking labor of " working hard for a paycheck" and " earning me keep."

The Rising Tide 
SO moving away from the sad.. lifeless part of me and moving forward from there. After realizing that I needed an outlet to get away from obligation and work and ease my mind, I bought a Nikon D3500 camera and lens and started trying to remember how to do photography again. 

being out in the wilderness, in nature reminded me of the silence I used to love as a kid. It made me hungry to explore again and enjoy the world. So that's when the grumpy traveler was reborn. 

My adventures have taken me from the lush landscapes of Ireland to the vibrant shores of Cozumel, and the breathtaking wilderness of Alaska. While I cherish these experiences, there's something truly special about spending my days in stunning expanses of Wyoming. As I plan to travel more and embrace life’s wonders alongside Tanya Lines of Free the Feral, I invite you to join me in celebrating the little moments and the that surround us. Let’s wander together and discover the magic of our world!
