The Journey to Self-Discovery: Women Who Run with the Wolves Reading & Art-Making Group
This transformative workshop series will span 14 meetings, each thoughtfully designed to guide participants on a profound journey of self-discovery and creative exploration.

Each meeting will offer participants the opportunity to reflect on the chapter’s themes, create a unique art piece inspired by their insights, and engage in meaningful discussions within a supportive community. By integrating storytelling, creative expression, and shared experiences, the workshop aims to empower participants to reconnect with their inner wildness, embrace authenticity, and uncover transformative personal truths.
This program is ideal for individuals seeking a deeper connection to themselves and Nature, their creativity, and the collective power of women’s shared stories.
