reclaim your wild(erness) through story sharing, mindful art-making, and nature based practices
The Women Who Wildly Wonder gathering will be part book discussion centered around Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ book, Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype and part invitation to engage in self-exploration and (re)discovery and recovery of the wilderness within through art and nature-based practices. Facilitators are not licensed therapists; this is NOT group therapy.
We will meet virtually on Mondays from 6:00-8:00PM CST for eight weeks starting on June 8th and ending on July 27th. Due to this being a virtual space, we are limiting the group size to 15 to ensure quality discussion time. New timings will be made available if there are more people who sign up than the limit.
As this is part book discussion, you will need to borrow or purchase the book so you are able to engage with the topics throughout the week and the discussions as we come together each week. We will not begin discussing the book until the second week of the program so, never fear, you have time to get the book and also time before you need to start reading it.
We all have experienced a loss of normal in this time, and with that, an invitation (almost an urging) to discover new ways of being in the world. This gathering is an opportunity to unearth what that new way of being might mean for you.
