I have dreamed of creating this for years.
And now it's finally here!
Enter: Women Who Run With the Wolves Embodied Book Club 🤩
As we enter the darkest part of the year, the womb of the cyclical seasons, join us as we step into this descent into the bottomless wisdom of the Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype.
Why the Wild Woman Archetype Matters Now
From the Foreward of Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.:
"We are all filled with a longing for the wild. There are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning. We were taught to feel shame for such a desire. We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings. But the shadow of the Wild Woman still lurks behind us during our days and in our nights. No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed."
This book is a sacred call to remember the wild within us: the unbroken, instinctive, powerful self that our culture often asks us to tame or hide.
It is time to step into our power.
Personally. And collectively.
Take just one quick glance around at our world right now. It is easy to see we're in a state.
Patriarchy is in its death throes.
Like a cornered and deeply injured wild animal, patriarchy is dangerous and inflicting so much damage.
And it's entirely possible that our previous ways of dealing with this wild, dangerous, dying animal that is patriarchy are just no longer viable.
Docility. Domestication. Denouncement and distance.
What's required is something else.
Our own wildness.
Our own unshakeable ferocity.
Rising into our own power.
Together.
More Than a Book Club: A 15-Month Journey of Embodiment
Women Who Run With the Wolves is a holy book. It does the work of inviting women back into their wildness, their power.
In our Embodied Book Club, we'll do so much more.
We're not just reading the book. We're living it.
This is an embodied, communal experience designed to help you live the teachings of Women Who Run With the Wolves, applying the concepts to your own lived experience, moving the wisdom through your body, engaging with the myths with your body, your mind, your creativity.
And we're doing it together. Our own pack of wild women.
Over the course of 15 months, in a closed and intimate circle of 15 women meeting in Salt Lake County once per month, we will embody this book.
Slowly digesting one chapter per month, and gathering for a sacred 3-hour circle to deepen, embody, integrate, and share, this goes so far beyond any book club or women's circle. Beyond, even, many group programs.
Each month's gathering may include:
- Guided discussion and reflection
- Embodiment practices and energy work
- Integration exercises for real-life transformation
- Sacred circle time for connection, sharing, and witnessing
Think: movement, meditation, journaling and creative exercises, hands-on myth application exercises, energy clearing and nervous system regulation, integration of nature's cycles (lunar, astrological, seasonal, and menstrual), ceremony, and sharing.
This space is not just intellectual — it’s emotional, spiritual, and physical. It’s an invitation to experience the stories through your body, your breath, and your own wild knowing.
Facilitated by Certified Coach Elizabeth Tidwell
I will facilitate each month's guided discussion, integration exercises, embodiment practices, and dynamic deepening.
I bring all of my varied modalities, specialties, experience, and gifts to the circle and our exercises:
- Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing
- 7 years of university teaching
- Reiki Master energy work certification and 4+ years experience
- 500-level yoga certification
- Yoga Nidra guided meditation specialty
- 3 years leading Moon Circles with a focus on astrological application
- Menstrual Cycle Coaching certifications with 3 years educating and coaching on the power and wisdom held in the menstrual cycle
Not to mention the depth of all of my lived experiences, the expansiveness that comes through walking in the dark womb of transformation I currently am journeying as my entire life rearranges itself amidst divorce.
Every session is guided with care, creativity, a reverence for the cycles that shape us, and the aim of guiding you to step deeper into your power.
Who This Circle is For
You bring all of you to the circle as well. Bring your wisdom, your experiences, your stories, your unique gifts. Your very soul.
