Within every woman, there lies a powerful force of energy, creativity and self-knowing: their wild woman.
But for centuries, she has been repressed by a male-orientated value system that trivialises her emotions. Until now.
In her groundbreaking and inspirational book, Women Who Run With The Wolves, award-winning poet and psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estes helps us to reclaim our 'wild woman' - the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power.
With a combination of time-honoured stories, myths, fairy tales, and casework, Estes will set you on a beautiful path to unleash your inner wild, helping you to unlock:
Emotional resilience and inner knowing
Creativity and self-expression
Purpose, passion and authentic confidence
A healthier, more empowered relationship with yourself and others
Profound, empowering, and thoughtfully written, Women Who Run With The Wolves is the essential guidebook to help you discover self-confidence and purpose in your life and reclaim your inner wild.
