WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES

COMING HOME: INITIATIONS INTO the WISE WOMAN SISTERHOOD  

Wise Woman Rising Retreat -November 9-11, 2018 – Crescent Moon Lodge

Women’s Retreats, Fort Worth / Dallas with Rebecca Jeffers M.Ed., LPC. Women’s self-development, spiritual and creative retreats for feminine rewilding.

Come open your heart to your Wise Woman Self. Join the sacred circle of women and give your self the gift of laughing, crying, howling, dancing and dreaming. Gather some wisdom, share your spirit, make new connections and weave a little magic for the feminine soul. Amidst the natural beauty of the Crescent Moon Lodge, we will be engaged in various exercises, storytelling, and archetypal embodiment practices to facilitate your return home.

Sealskin, Soulskin

Using as our guide the haunting and evocative tale Sealskin, Soulskin from Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ Women Who Run With the Wolves we will explore one of the most compelling initiatory tasks required for the transition from naive’ Maiden energy into full Wise Woman status.

Like the Seal Woman who danced on the rocks with joyous abandon and unwittingly lost her skin and thus a deeply essential part of herself, so too do we struggle at times to keep our skins intact. With her journey as a map, we will delve into the losses of skin that can occur in a thousand and one ways during a woman’s life.

“To lose the skin is to lose one’s protection, one’s warmth, one’s early warning system, one’s instinctual sight…..to be without the skin causes a woman to pursue what she thinks she should do, rather than what she truly wishes.” C.P. Estes’

At its heart, this tale is a story of initiation. And whenever an initiation is at hand you can count on the Dark Goddess to be near. The Dark Goddess archetypal energy is the one that challenges us to sacrifice and surrender to the life purpose that is calling. Life itself is asking us to grow and change in new and meaningful ways. It will not always be in the direction we necessarily want however it will be the path that brings us home.

“…one will awaken to the voice calling from home, back to the core self where one’s immediate wisdom is whole and accessible. From there, a woman can decide with clear-seeing what it is she must have, and what it is she wants to do.” C.P. Estes’

During this retreat, we will be under a new moon waxing into a crescent. The new moon carries the energies of the Maiden as she moves into Mother (full moon). How perfect for us as we dive into this rich tale of losing ourselves and finding our way back home. Join the circle of sisters and explore your desire and need to come home. Coming home means coming home to you, the fullness of who you are when you stand in your True Self. During this retreat there will be time for you to go off on your own, to journal, dream, meditate, contemplate, draw mandalas, and explore Nature. Weather permitting we will incorporate the outdoors into our work as much as possible.

“Home is a sustained mood or sense that allows us to experience feelings not necessarily sustained in the mundane worlds: wonder, vision, peace, freedom from worry, freedom from demands, freedom from constant clacking. ” C. P. Estes
