Women Who Run With The Wolves

Our course will follow the myths presented in the renowned book Women Who Run With The Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés. We will delve into ancient stories that depict the female experience and observe how they reflect our modern lives. By analyzing the symbols embedded within these myths, we will guide our conversations and gain a deeper understanding of their significance.


Throughout our journey, we will explore various archetypes and topics, such as intuition and instinct, ego and soul, life and death, naivety and knowledge, survival and thriving, the power of the female body, crafting a handmade life, breaking free from traps and cages, soul life, creative life, sacred sexuality, rage and forgiveness, secrets, finding the right medicine, rebirth, and much more.

Participants will be invited to reflect on their own experiences and bring them to our space.

I want to do the program but I will miss one session, what can I do?

All sessions will be recorded and sent to participants 24 hours after the session has finished. We recommend listening to the session at home and sharing online (on our private groups) your potential questions, insights and reflections. Be as active as possible to absorb the full experience.

I am interested in only 1 session of the course. Can I join only a specific session?

No, to ensure a special experience we only accept full program participants. That means you must register for the full program.

Is reading compulsory? How much reading should I do for the course?

Reading is not compulsory. Maria will retell the story and present the key elements. You can fully participate in the sessions without reading the book.

Is this for you?

This program is recommended for women of all backgrounds and ages, for those who are not aware of mythological archetypes and for those who have felt some stirring.
