Thanks for sharing this! Have you ever read Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés? It seems related.
I couldn't read the entire book, but I read a few chapters. it was very touching and I was creating practices each chapter. it was great to remember that. maybe I'll try again. have you read it?
I only read a few chapters as well. It’s on my list to fully read. But it reminded me of your post!
