It was here he encountered his first wolf and on a whim with no prior expertise decided launch Wolf Connection.

In this episode, I delve into the topic of connecting with our inner wildness, specifically through the archetypal figure of the wild woman and the symbolism of wolves. Drawing from my personal experiences and insights gained from the book "Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, I discuss the importance of reclaiming our wildness to heal from trauma and reconnect with our true selves. I also cover the work of the nonprofit organization Wolf Connection, which rescues and cares for wolf dogs and offers programs for underserved communities to connect with the wisdom of wolves. As always, be mindful of cultural appropriation and spiritual bypassing in our attempts to connect with animal symbolism and archetypes. Join me as I share my own journey of reconnecting with my inner wildness and explore ways to embrace your own wildness. → Watch the Full Video Podcast Here! · The Wolf Connection · "Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype" by Clarissa Pinkola Estés · Follow Simon Moya-Smith Topics/Triggers: • Wolf Connection • Our Inner Wildness • Lack of Freedom in a Patriarchal Capitalistic Society • Reclaiming Power • Listening to the Call of the Wild • The Wolf Connection & Retreat • How You Can Connect to Your Inner Wolf • Cultural Appropriation & Animal Spiritualism • Life, Death, and Experiences • Mindful Approaches to Animal Archetypes • Survivors & the Wisdom of the Wolf ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you took anything away from today's podcast, please share it with someone who may need to hear it.
