The Wild Woman Series: 4th Chapter - Vasalisa

The Wild Woman Series: 4th Chapter — Vasalisa In our fourth gathering, we sit with Vasalisa — a young woman sent into a dark forest with nothing but a small doll in her pocket, tasked with fetching fire from the wild witch Baba Yaga herself. This session is about feeding your intuition. Drawing from Clarissa Pinkola Estés' Women Who Run With the Wolves, we walk through Vasalisa's initiation as a series of nine tasks — letting go of over-protection, facing our own shadow, learning to trust the small quiet voice inside us, and standing unflinching in the presence of real power. We'll ask together: What is my version of the doll — the quiet knowing I sometimes forget to consult? And where do I need to feed it, rather than leave it forgotten in my pocket? We'll close in ritual, each woman naming aloud one way she'll feed her own intuition in the week ahead. This is patient, deliberate work — learning to trust what you already know, one small test at a time. No spiritual background required. Just a willingness to show up honestly, and begin listening to yourself again.
