Exploring the Wild Woman Archetype
A 16-Week Depth Journey With the Book Women Who Run with the Wolves
(This series will be back again in Winter 2026<3)
Gathering the
Bones
The iconic book Women Who Run with the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés is a collection of curated stories around the wild woman archetype that meet us boldly in every season of our lives.
This extended group experience is a deep dive where—together—we will move through all 16 chapters of Women Who Run with the Wolves as a small community.
In this workshop, we explore myth and folklore relating to the wild-woman archetype using art, movement, and storytelling.
Although reading the book is not necessary to participate—each week we discuss major stories from each chapter, engage in art or movement practices intended to deepen our connections to the themes, and learn from each other about how the archetypes from each story show up in our own lives.
While this space primarily centers around the lives and stories of women, all who are genuinely interested in learning about and exploring the inner feminine and wild woman archetype are welcome.
Structure & Format...
Exploring the Wild Woman Archetype is a 16-week community experiential series to dive deeply into the tales of Women Who Run with the Wolves. This workshop is held in two formats that run in parallel during the same time-frame.
The in-person version will be held at the same time and place each week for an hour and a half.
The virtual-version will be held virtually over Zoom in the comfort of your own home each week for an hour and a half.
For anyone in the same location as the in-person event, there is a ‘hybrid’ option to toggle back and forth between virtual, and in-person groups.
Nightly Components

Myth, Folklore, & Storytelling — We will focus on the main tale from one chapter per week and read it together as a group or experience it as a live-storytelling.

Symbolism & Motif Unraveling — After each story, we will thoroughly unpack and understand major symbols, motifs, and themes present in each tale.

Art or Movement Practice — Each story will be paired with a carefully curated art or movement exploration to more deeply experience specific elements of the feminine rites of passages in each chapter.
-
Reflection & Journaling — At the end of each session, the facilitator will leave participants with several journaling prompts and reflection questions to continue deciphering their own unique wisdoms.

Community Container — In addition to weaving community into each of these previous components, there will also be an opportunity each session to share, discuss and witness what has been coming up for everyone during their journey into the wild woman archetype.
