Join us this month as we discuss, Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. We will meet in person at the Weaverville Library. Copies of this title are available at the Weaverville Library while supplies last. Newcomers are always welcome!
Join us for a women’s circle discussion based on the timeless wisdom of ‘Women Who Run with the Wolves’ by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Whether you’re diving into the book for the first time or already well-versed in the wild woman archetype, this group is designed to inspire you to reconnect with your wild integrity. We will unlock the symbolic language of the ancient tales in each chapter and reignite courage, intuition, and authenticity. This will be a recurring weekly circle examining a story per week in individual 1.5-hour meetings. Attend one, all, or pick and choose as you please.
This week’s story is from Chapter One: La Loba (the one who knows). Reading the chapter beforehand is recommended but not mandatory.
The meet-up will start promptly.
You are invited to join the Malaprop’s Crime and Politics Book Club for this conversation with Christina Greene. The event is free but registration is required.
