Deep within every woman lives an untamed force, it is an instinctual, intuitive, fierce, and wise. It is the voice that calls us back to ourselves, to our raw essence, to the rhythm of our own soul.
We will gather on Zoom for about 1–1.5 hours to revisit the timeless stories from Women Who Run with the Wolves. Together we’ll reflect, share insights, and allow the symbols and archetypes to guide us deeper into our own journeys.
Let's dive into the sacred stories
Each gathering is a profound exploration, utilising storytelling, Jungian analysis, creative expression, and embodied practices to reconnect with the lost aspects of ourselves. We meet the archetypes that live within us, such as the Wild One, the Healer, the Truth-Teller, and the Soulful Creator, so that we can listen to their messages.
This is a journey of remembering of stepping beyond fear, guilt, and restraint and reclaiming the intuitive power, deep knowing, and primal energy that have always been ours.
We run not away, but toward.
Toward our truth.
Toward our instincts.
Toward the untamed life waiting within us.
Join me in this sacred circle, where we shed, release, and rise, where stories guide us home, and where the Wild Woman is no longer lost but fully, fiercely alive.

As we begin our journey, the first gathering invites you to read up to Chapter 3,
We will be introduced to the essence of the Wild Woman archetype, LaLoba, the instinctual, untamed force within the feminine psyche that embodies creativity, intuition, and deep connection to nature. She is free, wise, and resilient and guiding us back to our truth.
We’ll explore the story of Bluebeard, a powerful tale that reveals the inner “predator” that silences intuition and disconnects us from our instincts. Together, we’ll reflect on how this force appears in our own lives and learn ways to reclaim our awareness and empower the wild spirit within.
