Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature — a powerful force filled with deep instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman. Yet she is an endangered species.

In Women Who Run With the Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, explores how women’s vitality can be restored through what she calls “psychic archaeological digs” into the ruins of the female unconscious.

✨ The Velvet Venus Book Club ✨

This is not an easy book. It asks for your full attention, honesty, and commitment. But once it begins to open inside you, it becomes the kind of book you want to share with every woman you love. You want others to understand it, to embrace it, to be transformed by it... to run free through the forest beside you.

I often hear women saying they feel alone. That they long for spaces where they can speak openly about their fears, doubts, longings, and depths without judgement or expectation. I also hear, constantly, how difficult it has become to find true connection and meaningful female friendships.

So I thought: What if we do it together?

‍

What if we create a pack to journey through this wild landscape as a group? What if I help guide the psychological and symbolic aspects of the book, while each of you brings your own reflections, experiences, emotions, and stories into the circle? What if, once a month, we create a space where we are simply allowed to become?
