Women & Wolves
One-Day Retreats
Women & Wolves Signature One-Day Retreat
Wolf Connection’s Women & Wolves program series began in 2017, and since that time we have been honored to host a growing community of hundreds of women who have gathered to experience the wisdom and medicine of the wolf.
The wolf breathes in the beauty of every moment, embracing the space that feels like slow motion to humans. She exists without the boundaries of time or space or “have to’s”, trusting her capacity to respond to the environment as needed, without anticipation. “Dearest women,” she asks, “what attachments are you willing to acknowledge and release as you step into wholeness and worth just as you are?” As you feel the terror of “not doing”, “not proving”, and “not performing” to prove your worth, what else emerges in the sacred temple that is your body and deepest wisdom?
This is a day-long journey of Wolf Wisdom, a taste of what we unlock as a Pack in our immersive Women & Wolves program, deep within the high desert of the Angeles National Forest at Wolf Connection. We engage in rituals and activities throughout the day as a group, while providing time for reflection and rest. There is a light hike with wolves, nourishing snacks and one catered vegan meal.
