Women Who Run With Wolves: 15 month Book Study and Discussion group

EXPLORING THE WILD WOMAN ARCHETYPE
This group meets on the 3rd Sunday… More of each month starting Sunday, October 16, 6:00 - 7:45 PM (MST via zoom)
Join Danielle Petersen, Wild Soul Living to reconnect to our primal knowing.
From the moment we are born, we are given tools to function in this world: the ideas of the prevailing culture and behaviors deemed appropriate by said culture.
This domestication attempts to nullify the intelligence born within each of us--that wild intuitive nature that connects us with our ability to express and co-create with the universe.
The book "Women who Run with the Wolves' has some profound things to say about the primordial feminine instinct that many have forgotten.
I first read this book over 10 years ago! And I am wanting to REALLY digest this book with a group of powerful women who feel ready to reclaim their WILD WISDOM.
Every month we will discuss a new chapter.... to help you DIVE in DEEP and help you take ROOT in the DARK SOIL of your psyche.
D?rop-in or sign-up for entire series to save and go deeper!
_________________
This monthly online setting is an opportunity to get in touch and transform your own inner wolf inside of YOU!
The integration and discussion are key aspects for the integration so that you can be planted and emerge as the women who has claimed her TRUE ESSENCE.
Because every chapter is its own unique story... you don't need to attend the meeting the month before to join the next.

Is this experience for you?
Women who Run with the Wolves is for people who want to understand each other, work on their identity and self-worth, and heal emotional wounds.
Wounds we sometimes inherit from our ancestors or patriarchal institutions themselves. This book is a road map to find all the “traps”that keep us from finding the way back home to our true selves and our instincts.
It moves us towards that wild woman, perceptive with a playful spirit and wonderful capacity for affection…
In this group we will intimately explore our inner wild women….who was she before domestication?
And by Wild Woman...to me is the SOUL within woman. Who LISTENS!
The wild woman is the human soul embodied. Connect to the lived reality of the here and now. The soul in the body. Our innate essence of what it is to be a WOMAN.
Do you have a relationship with your inner Wild Women archetype? Do you want one?
Being wild heals us, and helps get us out of our ruts, and it also facilitates transformation and change. The wild woman carries the medicine needed to get over difficult times with complete and thorough joy.

More about the book:
Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a Jungian analyst, doctor in ethno-clinical psychology, and author of this book. It took her over 20 years to make it reality.

The book has an educational and personal growth bent into one powerful book.
“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.” ? Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype_________________
Quotes from Women who Run with the Wolves
"Within each woman there is a powerful force of good instincts, creativity, passion, and timeless knowledge. Society has made us forget it in an attempt to “tame” us. "? Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
“So, the word wild here is not used in its modern pejorative sense, meaning out of control, but in its original sense, which means to live a natural life, one in which the criatura, creature, has innate integrity and healthy boundaries. These words, wild and woman, cause women to remember who they are and what they are about. They create a metaphor to describe the force which funds all females. They personify a force that women cannot live without.”? Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
“Be wild; that is how to clear the river. The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life. It is made up of divine paradox. To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. Then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.” ? Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
“Go out in the woods, go out. If you don’t go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.”? Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
“All the “not readies,” all the “I need time,” are understandable, but only for a short while. The truth is that there is never a “completely ready,” there is never a really “right time.” As with any descent to the unconscious, there comes a time when one simply hopes for the best, pinches one’s nose, and jumps into the abyss.”? Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
