Wolves and Wild Woman: A Christian Perspective on the Resurgence of the Divine Feminine (Hannah Eichelberger)

"Wildlife and the Wild Woman are both endangered species... The feminine instinctive nature has been looted, driven back, and overbuilt."

For many women, the words of Dr. Clarissa Estes tell a story that represent them. For this bestselling feminist psychologist, the natural in being female has been sterilized, the female diminished and the body disregarded. Those starving for the reality and meaningfulness of being female are spun a strange but familiar tale by Estes in all of its gruesome, bloody glory. 

In this talk we will dialog with the popular resurgence of Estes's 1992 book, Women Who Run with the Wolves and compare it to Christianity's perspective on the recovery of femaleness, its pitfalls, and an embodied connection to the natural world.
