Running with Wolves
Women’s 5Rhythms Heartbeat Workshop
The Red Shoes
Saturday June 20th — 10.30am–5.30pm
In this women’s Heartbeat workshop, we’ll dance with The Red Shoes - one of the pivotal stories from Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés.
This haunting and timeless tale speaks to desire, obsession, longing, seduction, aspiration, wounding, and the cost of losing connection to our deeper instinctual selves. Through the embodied map of the 5Rhythms Heartbeat practice, we’ll explore our relationships with pleasure, hunger, intensity, meaning, and joy.
Through movement, reflection, archetypal inquiry, and shared experience, we’ll embody the emotional landscapes of this story and create space to search for “the real thing” - what truly nourishes and enlivens us.
Running with Wolves is Natalie Poole’s women’s 5Rhythms movement research and workshop series — a space for women to explore embodiment, archetypal stories, menstrual and lunar cycles, creativity, menopause, emotion, instinct, and relational life through movement.
