Women Who Run With the Wolves

FULL MOON CIRCLE & BOOK CLUB

Let’s gather in circle. Tell the old stories. Awaken the wild woman within. 

Step into a circle of women, where ancient tales are spoken aloud and the wild soul in each of us is remembered. Using the Myth & Magic Process, each month we journey into one chapter of Women Who Run with the Wolves, written by Clarissa Pinkola Estés — a book that has become a beacon for women seeking their instinctual, creative, and untamed selves.

Each month, one sister will take on the sacred task of storytelling to the group, bringing each myth or tale to life so that we may hear it not only with our ears, but feel it with our bones. From there, we move together into exploration of the themes brought up — through art, writing, movement, and reflection — giving the story space to work its magic in us.

Come for a single gathering to taste the power of this work, or walk with us for the full year-long journey. Either way, you’ll be entering a space that is nourishing, transformative, and deeply alive. Women of all ages are welcome.

This isn’t just a book club. It’s a deep remembering. It’s an invitation to reawaken the wild woman within, to reclaim the parts of yourself that have been hidden or silenced, nourish your soul with real food wisdom, so that you can step more fully into your life with courage and creativity. 

 

Women who run with the Wolves is held LIVE on ZOOM on the Sunday nearest to the full moon from 1-2:30 pm EST for an entire lunar cycle.

Please note: Only storytelling part of sessions are recorded to maintain the intimacy of the container.

“We are a circle of women inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ Women Who Run with the Wolves. Our book club is more than a gathering—it’s a space to awaken the wild, untamed spirit within. Together, we read, reflect, and share stories that reconnect us to intuition, creativity, and the deep feminine wisdom that lives in us all. Each meeting is an invitation to honor our voices, nurture sisterhood, and walk the path of the wild woman—free, fierce, and whole.”

 

“Stories are alive, and they need to be fed. The more we gather in circle, the more we give voice to these powerful truths — and the more they nourish us in return.”

FAQs

What is the Women Who Run with the Wolves Book Club?

Ihis monthly book club and women’s circle is based on Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ classic Women Who Run with the Wolves. Each month, we gather on the Sunday nearest to the Fulll Moon to explore one chapter through storytelling, art, writing, movement, and reflection. It’s more than a book club — it’s a transformational journey into the wild woman archetype.

Do I need to have read the book before joining?

Not at all. Each session begins with the story being told aloud by one of the women in the circle. This keeps the experience accessible and alive, whether you’ve read ahead or are completely new to the material. In fact, many people including ourselves have read this book many times over because each reading is a new experience.

Can I join just one session or do I need to commit to the whole series?

We strongly suggest that you come and join us for the entire series, but drop ins will always be welcome. If you would like to come for just one or two sessions, please be sure to join the Myth & Magic waitlist to find out when you can sign up.
