Gathering the Bones

GATHERING THE BONES

A WOMEN'S CIRCLE: INSPIRED BY WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES

In this course, we will explore carefully chosen stories from 'Women Who Run With The Wolves' by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Using these stories we will explore our own echoes to find the stories within us that point to the wisdom we have been initiated to hold. When collecting these bones, we gather clues as to the words of our own soul's song .

This course is designed for people to attend all four sessions.

Session One

Sunday January 29th

Of dolls, death and chicken legs. Going into the forest to find one's fire. The group will muse over where they receive their inner fire from, how easy it is to reach and how it is we hear our intuition.

Session Two

Sunday February 26th

Exploring the nature of relationships and what we will discover when we’re willing to troll the depths, have the courage to face what we find there and the patience to befriend it.

Session Three

Sunday March 26th

Naming what keeps our souls thriving, as well as looking at the barriers which keep us from the things we love. The power of true listening.

Session Four

Sunday April 23rd

Gathering in what has been scattered and making whole again. Witnessing others and being witnessed as we honour what we have learnt and what we already know.

At one O'clock we will break for a shared lunch. Please bring along a dish to share.
