This course will delve into themes like intuition and instincts, ego and soul, life and death cycles, naivety and innocence, rage and forgiveness, secrets and shame, addictions and true nourishment, among others.

Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, a Jungian psychoanalyst, poet, and storyteller, traces the wild woman archetype throughout her book. She wrote this book to support women in their profound healing journeys and provide a guiding compass. Through the characters and symbols in her stories, she offers systematic guidance to reclaim lost aspects of oneself, tools to regain sovereignty, and pathways to return to one's true essence. Her work aims to empower women to lead soulful lives where their unique gifts flourish, enabling them to reclaim their voices and minds.

Archetypes, a term we will be using throughout the course, are symbolic images used in myths and stories to illuminate human experiences. They help us navigate our inner landscapes and understand unconscious aspects that shape our self-perception and worldview. Examples like the Hero, the Inner Child, and the Inner Critic resonate deeply because these archetypes reside within us all. Although universal, archetypes manifest uniquely across cultures, historical periods, and narratives, reflecting the diverse tapestry of human existence.

 Monday, from 7:30 PM to 9 PM Shanghai time via Zoom

Session 1 (12 January) - Introduction to the course and the story of La Loba, The Wolf Woman - Meeting the Core of the Wild Woman Archetype. 

Session 2 (19 January) - The story of Bluebeard - knowing the predator that lives inside and outside of our psyche. The story teaches us to be curious and helps us shed nativity.

Session 3 (26 January) - The story of Vasalisa the Wise - the importance of listening to your intuition as a key element that allows the Wild Woman to thrive in life, a way to be discerning and let the Too-good Mother archetype die.

Session 4 (2 February) - The story of Manawee - the power of keeping the ego and soul-self integrated and looking at the most common distractions that take us away from our soul-work. 

Chinese New Year Break 

Session 5 (2 March) - The story of Skeleton Woman - learning about life/death/life nature. How to let go of what must die, and let live what must live. How to love the not-so-beautiful.

Session 6 ( 9 March) - The story of the Ugly Duckling - the power of endurance to keep going despite the harshness and not settling until one finds the community they belong with. The archetype of the mother and that of the unmatched child. 

Session 7 (23 March) - The story of the Red Shoes - knowing that a woman needs a handmade life. A wild woman has to have a life made by the soul and for the soul. When our life is not made by or for the soul, we become trapped and develop unhealthy addictions. The story serves as a warning of what not to do.

Session 8 (30 March) - The story of Sealskin, Soulskin - the wild woman knows the importance of soul life and knows to create the time to spend there. It’s a story of integrating the inner and the outer life. 

Session 9 (6 April)- The story of La Llorona - the importance of nurturing your creative life; a wild woman has an integrated animus (masculine) who cares for and protects her creative life.

Session 10 (13 April) - The story of the Crescent Moon Bear – righteous rage as a teacher; knowing when to be enraged and draw boundaries, end relationships, etc. The deeper understanding that no magic pill/no single solution will save you. 

Session 11 (April 20) - The story of the Handless Maiden - the complete journey of women’s lives and the integration of the feminine with the masculine.

Session 12 (April 27) -  The Wolf's Eyelash- an overview of the course and the book's final passages to mark the end of our course.

Discover the transformative journey of "Women Who Run with the Wolves" through the heartfelt experiences of our participants:

"Wonderful Journey. Every session was like opening a new chapter of a story — a story that somehow resonated with each of us. There were no ready-made answers, only powerful questions… questions that invited us to go deeper into ourselves. We had the choice: to dive in, or simply observe and listen. Each moment of sharing felt authentic, inspiring, even enlightening. Personally, I learned so much about myself. I also deeply enjoyed exploring the book step by step, with all the insights and meanings brought by Iza. It was so enlightening. I know I’ll be re-reading the book again, but this time with a new perspective — one that will guide me through the waves of life 💫 Thank you for this journey. Truly." - Solenne 

"The WWRWW workshop led by Iza was incredibly insightful. Iza is a natural storyteller who explained the intricate details of each tale with great passion and patience. As someone who is new to these stories, I developed a deeper understanding of the symbols and archetypes. Learning about the psyche through such powerful narratives provided a fascinating framework. With Iza fostering a supportive space for us to navigate such complex terrain, I was able to be vulnerable, I felt safe and empowered. Thank you, Iza! 💚" - Emma 

"The Wolves Tribe program has been a truly enriching journey. Each week, Iza guided us with clarity, depth, and intuition through the stories and archetypes of the Wild Woman. I loved exploring these symbols and becoming aware of unconscious patterns that shaped my life. The group sharing was especially powerful, listening to other women and reflecting together created a beautiful sense of connection and mirrored understanding. This experience helped me reconnect with myself in a deeper, more intuitive way. I’m very grateful for the growth, insights, and nourishment it brought into my life." - Marine

“I took this course as a way to reconnect with my spiritual self, who I had abandoned in this busy world. While I was nervous about the time investment and meeting new people, I pushed through. Iza set up a beautifully safe and sacred space that encouraged us to share and explore parts of ourselves we’ve been so disconnected from. With her guidance and the open support from the group, the stories took on new meanings and helped me to understand my own truths and work towards being the person I want to be. This is a wonderful course for any woman at any time or stage of life they are in. It has helped me readjust the way I look and live my life. Thank you, Iza and our Autumn Wolf Tribe." - Rachel 

This course was so much more than a course; it was the place where I  felt safe enough to share the parts of myself I usually keep hidden out of shyness or shame. Iza facilitated this with her uniquely gentle and powerful approach. I loved the routine of our sessions—the gentle movement, the meditation, and her incredible storytelling. I could listen to her tell stories forever! The questions she asks are beyond powerful. Sharing this space with Iza and the other  women was the perfect combination to make me feel both held and reminded that I am not alone. I learned so much from them. Every week I'd look forward to Monday because it's the time of our meeting.  This course has widely opened my eyes to my inner world. And while I'm sad it's finished, its impact will last forever, as it has encouraged me to continue this journey inward. It takes you to a point where you won't help but continue forward. It took me to the wild, to the woods. I am deeply grateful for all your efforts and energy, Iza. I also must mention the wonderful journal that came with the course—it's so well-designed, with explanations and questions that allow me to reflect anytime, making the learning extend far beyond our session time. I'm thankful that I made the decision to take the course. And I will miss you!  I can promise you that your work has its fruit.  What you're doing is providing a great great help for women.  Thank you again, much love" - Meriam 

This course was exactly what I was looking for. I had been thinking for a while about putting some structured self-work into practice but I wasn’t sure where to begin. I wanted something meaningful, productive and deep. When I read the description from Iza, it seemed to scream out to me exactly what I needed. What this course provides is a small group of like-minded women sharing time and space each week to contemplate, write, and discuss ideas to do with the self, but also how we see ourselves reflected in society and in others. Yet most importantly,the course is about self-reflection, self-development, and self-actualisation. I feel the course has helped me enormously to focus on me: my thoughts, emotions, motivations and desires. Iza is amazing: kind, knowledgeable, empathetic, and impassioned. She delivers the course with enthusiasm, wisdom, and care, which inspires reflection and authenticity. I am so happy I decided to sign up for the course. I feel I have gained insight, developed more self-awareness and discovered some blossoming friendships." - Vanessa 

"Iza and wonderful ladies!! Thank you again, Iza, for guiding us, and all of you ladies for walking this journey together. I really did gain a next layer of depth through this process with you." - Giselle K 🥰

"Participating in the 14-week course on 'Women Who Run with the Wolves' was truly transformative for me. Delving into Clarissa Pinkola Estés' profound insights on female archetypes alongside Iza and our incredible group was impactful beyond words. It opened my eyes to the ancient, powerful feminine energies often overlooked in today's fast-paced world." - Ellen K

"Iza’s course provided a nurturing environment where I gained profound self-understanding. Her facilitation created a safe and welcoming space where I felt encouraged to embrace every part of myself and connect deeply with my soul. Each week brought new insights and meaningful discussions that have become an invaluable part of my life. I’m so glad I overcame my initial concerns about time commitment – this course has been a grounding routine that I highly recommend to anyone ready to explore their inner depths." - Jacquie

"Embarking on this course felt like embarking on a magical journey. Exploring the stories within 'Women Who Run with the Wolves' alongside Iza and our supportive group has been deeply rewarding. It’s helped me unravel my inner world and embrace the power of intuition. Iza’s wisdom and her ability to foster an open, inspiring space allowed me to reflect and grow alongside other incredible women. As we near the end of this journey, I’m already looking forward to future workshops with Iza." - Danni

I am so grateful for the time I have shared with this group of women. As an English teacher, I love diving deep into stories, but never before have I felt such spiritual connections to them. Iza creates a calm, comfortable, and supportive space to listen, journal, and share. These sessions have become the highlight of my week and are so important to my own self-discovery. - Meg

"This course has been truly eye-opening. I have been able to understand myself in a deeper way and find appreciation in myself, in all that entails. When deciding whether or not to take this course, I was worried about the time commitment. After just a couple of weeks, I realized that this was giving the gift of time to my well-being and has been something I look forward to every week. It has been beautiful to share this space with other women also on the path to a higher self and further understanding their own power. This has truly been a life-changing course and will stay with me forever. I cannot recommend this course enough! - Felicia 

"I enjoyed every minute of the course! It was insightful, healing and transformative! Iza has a lot of wisdom, and she provides a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment for all of us women to learn, share, and heal. Every time after our workshop, I come home feeling refreshed, and the insights from the session just effortlessly flow out into my life, helping me live in a more integrated way. This has been one of the most powerful courses I’ve done, and there is so much to learn from this truly amazing book. - Mandy

"When I signed up for the workshop “women who run with wolves” I had no idea what it was going to be about. After a troubled year, I felt like I needed something for my soul. And that I should take advantage of the good that Shanghai has to offer and one thing are the circles around Iza where women support women. After the first session I remembered that in the past I already got in contact with the book but I felt like I needed someone to discuss it with to understand its messages. And this is what I got in the workshop. Each week brought a new interesting chapter and time flew by. The valuable contributions of the other participants were added to my own insights. Every week I looked forward to Saturday when we met. Iza did an amazing job of breaking the ancient stories down. Her analysises were spot on and her energy and intention are beautiful and empowering. It is definitely a transformative book but without the workshop I would never have gotten the full wisdom." - Marion 

"I learned about the book 'Women Who Run with the Wolves' after a friend recommended it. A collection of mythology stories about women. I love the moon circles Iza is hosting and so, I was certain she'll bring her unique approach and knowledge to this program too. With a magical group of women gathered for this, we met once a week and went on a fascinating, empowering journey. Even my concern about committing to 14 weeks was gone quickly as I found myself looking forward to our weekly session. I highly recommend this program. It's been a wonderful experience." - Yael

"Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach… there will always be times when you feel discouraged. I, too, have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate. In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.” -Clarissa Pinkola Estés
