Call of the Wild Woman
Life/Death/Life Cycles of Relationships
An introductory study course of the book “Women Who Run With The Wolves.”

Have you lost your instinctual sense of direction due to society’s expectations and demands?

Would you like to connect with and reclaim your intuitive self and ignite the fire of your passions?

Are you ready to unearth the parts of you that you have lost, given away or were taken from you?


Many women know that something’s missing and sense a call toward a larger, a more fertile life but they don’t know what to do. Join us in exploring and reclaiming our creative intuitive nature as we sit in a sacred women’s circle together and explore stories and myths on how to regain our divine feminine birth-right and empower the wild woman within that is longing to thrive. We will use creative expression, active imagination, conscious writing, word affiliations, and dream interpretation techniques to uncover parts of us that are lost or hidden deep within us.

The emphasis in this 7-week course is based on the perceptions of the female psyche, the shadow, archetypal realities and the life/death/life cycles of relationships. Women are encouraged to walk beside the stories we study to enter the depths of the underworld (subconscious mind) to retrieve and restore parts of their authentic self which are lost or lay dormant so that they may experience spiritual vitality and liberation in their life once again. Let’s contact this fundamental and ancient layer of our being, the realm of the Wild Woman.


Facilitated by Dee Petit, a Certified Abundant Life Coach, teacher of the School of Remembering Meditation Courses and facilitator of young and mature Woman’s Empowerment Workshops throughout Auckland. Dee was trained to work with women to assist and reclaim back their power by the famous Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, certified Psychoanalyst, Jungian analyst, storyteller and post-trauma recovery specialist and international bestselling author of “Women Who Run With The Wolves.”


Wednesdays starting February 27 thru April 10, 2019 @ 7pm to 9pm

YWCA - 103 Vincent Street, Auckland

$255 investment. Limited Seats Available. Reserve your space.

Just to keep the community updated! Yes, we are Open!

Due to construction and temporary road blockages at Highland Park, you may think we are not open for business, but rest assured we are!

You will need to enter our car park from Highland Park Drive, through the old one-way exit – it is now both an entrance and exit, as there is no access any other way for the time being.

We look forward to seeing you and, please, let your friends know!
