Exploring the Wild Woman Archetype

The speakers delve into the concept of the wild woman archetype, discussing its association with the literal wilderness and its transformative power. They highlight the healing role of nature, particularly for war-traumatized children, and draw on the adventurous life of Mary of Egypt as an example. The chapter also explores the contrast between confinement and finding peace within restricted spaces, along with personal experiences in the wilderness and reflections on self-rejection and repentance.
