At Wild Woman Rising, we create spaces where remembering becomes a practice, and transformation moves at the pace of breath, story, and the living world.
These offerings are invitations to return to what is already true in you, to listen beneath the noise, and to walk a more rooted, embodied, and courageous path in your life.
Some women come seeking clarity.
Some come carrying grief.
Some come wanting to reconnect with their creativity, their lineage, or their spiritual instinct.
All are welcomed with care, depth, and reverence.
You are invited to arrive as you are, and to trust that what you need will meet you here.
Path of the Wolf Woman
Our flagship program is a guided reading journey through Women Who Run with the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, one of the most influential works exploring myth, story, and the wild feminine.
Over twelve weeks, we gather in live circles to move slowly through the book’s stories, archetypes, and symbols, reading not only for understanding but for lived meaning. Together we explore how these timeless tales illuminate the landscapes of grief, creativity, motherhood, transition, intuition, and the rhythms of a woman’s life.
Alongside close reading and reflective practice, we also engage in oral storytelling. Stories are spoken, witnessed, and remembered in the body of the group, allowing the teachings of the book to move beyond the page and into shared experience. In this way, we remember story not only as text, but as living transmission carried through voice, presence, and community.
Rather than rushing toward answers, we cultivate the practice of deep, communal reading. Through conversation, storytelling, writing, embodiment, and shared inquiry, we explore how Estés’ work continues to speak to the questions we carry today, inviting a deeper relationship with ourselves, one another, and the living world.
This journey is for women who long to engage this remarkable book with depth and intention. It is for those navigating seasons of change, seeking thoughtful community, and sensing that stories can shape how we live, create, and belong.

Return to Wild Book Club
Return to Wild is more than a book club.
It is a community of readers who believe that stories help us make sense of ourselves, our times, and the worlds we are shaping together.
Here, we read slowly and generously, lingering with novels, memoirs, myth, poetry, ecology, and philosophy. We listen for the questions each story asks of us, tracing the patterns that connect our personal lives with the wider landscapes of culture, memory, and the living Earth.
Through thoughtful conversation, reflective practice, and shared inquiry, books become more than texts to discuss. They become companions that deepen our capacity for attention, relationship, and imagination.
This is where literature meets lived experience. Where reading becomes a communal practice of remembering, belonging, and reimagining. Where women gather not simply to interpret stories, but to let stories shape the way we live, care, and imagine the future together.
Homecoming: A Women’s Retreat
For women seeking rhythm, rootedness, and renewal
Homecoming is an intimate, in-person retreat where women gather to remember their belonging to the living world.
Held in sacred landscapes across the Philippines, these weekends invite us into a slower way of being, shaped by earth, body, story, and place. Together, we listen to the rhythms of the natural world around us, allowing land, tide, and silence to guide our attention and restore a deeper sense of relationship with life.
Rather than stepping away from the world, we step more fully into it. We learn with the landscapes we are hosted by, letting each place shape the questions we ask and the pace at which we move.
Homecoming is a sanctuary for rest, renewal, and reconnection. A space to soften, to listen, and to remember the quiet ways we belong to the Earth and to one another.
