The Liberating Power of Inanna
Ancient Goddess Myths as a Sacred Map to Feminine Sovereignty & Wholeness
With Goddess Scholar and Author Dr. Annalisa Derrrr
How might Inanna's mythology help us recognize and shed the patriarchal conditioning that has shaped how we understand ourselves as women?
​
In this two-hour class, we’ll explore the extraordinary mythology of the Sumerian Goddess Inanna as a sacred map for feminine liberation, empowerment, and embodied sovereignty.
​
Through several of Inanna’s ancient myths, we’ll discover how this powerful goddess challenges conventional expectations of femininity and offers us new ways of understanding our own power, autonomy, and wholeness.
the 2027 village is here!​​
You've Explored the Stories. Now Let's Bring Them to Life.
A 12-PART EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP SERIES FOR 2027
Many of you have already journeyed into the world of Women Who Run With the Wolves with Dr. A, discovering the extraordinary wisdom of the Wild Woman archetype.
Whether you've studied with Dr. A before or are joining us for the first time, you're invited to experience the Wild Woman stories in an entirely new way.
Dr. A is joining forces with Dr Cynthia Mckenzie, PsyD. to take our exploration to a whole new level!
Together, we'll move beyond discussing the stories to discover how these powerful archetypes are actually active in our psyches and influencing our lives—shaping our choices, relationships, creativity, and sense of self.
What if the stories we have carried
for centuries hold the keys
to understanding ourselves today?
Within every woman live powerful sources of wisdom, creativity, intuition, courage, instinct, endurance, and strength. Some we know well. Others have been forgotten, silenced, or pushed aside by the demands and expectations of our lives, and the over culture.
​
What if we can learn to listen to the call of Wild Woman within? We can learn to recognize and express our inner symbolic language and act upon our internal impulses to create, write, and journey onward.
​
Through guided exploration, journaling, art expression, and embodied practices, we'll learn to recognize these energies, engage with their gifts and shadows, and consciously draw upon their wisdom in our everyday lives.
​
In her extraordinary book, Women Who Run With the Wolves, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés draws upon ancient myths, fairy tales, and folk stories to illuminate the many faces of the Wild Woman—the instinctive, creative, intuitive nature that lives within us all.
We invite you to venture beyond understanding these stories only on the narrative level and begin to recognize their wisdom at work in our lives.
That's the journey we're inviting you to take.
Twelve Months. Twelve Archetypes.
A Journey Into Yourself.
Throughout 2027, Women's Wisdom Village will explore twelve powerful feminine archetypes drawn from the stories in Women Who Run With the Wolves.
​
An archetype is a universal pattern of human expression and experience—one we recognize in stories, in others, and often in ourselves.
​
These are not simply characters in ancient stories.They represent energies and possibilities that influence how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.
​
Each month, we'll explore one archetype, discovering both its gifts and shadow—the hidden fears, patterns, or challenges that may keep us from fully expressing our strengths,
​
Our purpose is not simply to learn about the archetypes. It is to develop conscious relationships with them, embody their wisdom, and discover how to draw upon their energies in our everyday lives.
More Than a Book Discussion. An Experience.
Each two-hour workshop combines engaging teaching with guided reflection, creative exploration, and embodied practices.
​Together, we'll learn to recognize how archetypal patterns appear in our lives and explore ways to work consciously with their influence.
​
Our experiential approach includes:
-
Jungian and Depth psychological guidance into the world of archetypes
-
Journaling: Discovering the personal meaning of the stories through guided questions and reflection.
-
Art Journaling and Creative Expression: Giving shape, color, and form to feelings, images, and insights that words alone may not capture.
-
Embodiment and Movement: Exploring how archetypal energies can be experienced and expressed through the body.
-
Shadow Exploration: Gently recognizing the hidden or less familiar aspects of ourselves that the stories may illuminate.
-
Shared Discovery: Opportunities for participants to share reflections, artwork, and moments of insight, enriching our understanding through one another's experiences.
No artistic experience is necessary. This is not about creating beautiful artwork or getting anything right. It's about giving your inner world new ways to speak.
Before the Workshop
You'll receive preparation materials introducing the month's story and archetype, along with journaling prompts and creative suggestions to begin your personal exploration.
​
During the Workshop
We'll bring the archetype to life through teaching, guided activities, creative participation, and opportunities for shared reflection.
After the Workshop
You'll receive additional journaling prompts, creative invitations, and suggested movement and energy practices to continue exploring and integrating the archetype's wisdom throughout the month.
​
Over time, your journal and artwork can become a personal record of your discoveries—a growing collection of images, reflections, and insights into the woman you are and the woman you are becoming.
Come for One Workshop. Stay for the Journey.
Each monthly gathering is a complete experience, so you're welcome to join us for an individual workshop or deepen your exploration through the series of gatherings.
​
Whether you're already familiar with Women Who Run With the Wolves or are discovering these stories for the first time, you'll find a welcoming place to learn, explore, create, and reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
​
You don't need to be an artist, a writer, or a scholar of mythology.
You simply need curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to explore.

the stories are ancient.
the journey is yours.
The Wild Woman is not someone we should become.
She is a vital part of who we already are.
And perhaps the most extraordinary discovery is not what these ancient stories can teach us about women long ago, but what they can reveal about the lives we're living right now.
Come explore. Come create. Come discover
what is waiting to be expressed within you.
