Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D., author of Women Who Run With the Wolves, described: “Within every woman, there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.” Her name is “Wild Woman.” And she dwells in that “place in time where the spirit of women and the spirit of wolf meet.” You will witness firsthand the charge of creative energy and wild intelligence boldly alive in their bodies.
With attention on this mirror to your own potential, you journey together into the wild landscape of the feminine soul where you rekindle your own inner fire and enliven the wild woman existing within all. Meet in Westcliffe at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday for the caravan to the event site and Mission: Wolf sanctuary. Your time together for all events concludes Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
