the invitation:

Deep conversations, ritual, stories, & experiences to recover instinct & embody aliveness

  • You are ready to unshackle from limiting & constricting ways of being.
  • You are ready to contact the Wild Woman archetype to find your way to freedom, strength, and a fulfilling & energizing life.
  • You dream of community support in your evolution.
  • You desire embodied practices for lasting transformation of body, mind, & soul.
  • You want to be safely held by someone who understands trauma.

We are all filled with a longing for the wild. There are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning. We were taught to feel shame for such a desire. We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings. But the shadow of Wild Woman still lurks behind us during our days and in our nights. No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed.

Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

Sometimes, we feel lost… as if we don’t know what we’re doing with our lives.

Sometimes, we forget the connection that is always there, patiently waiting for our attention.

Sometimes, we lose the thread of how to come back to ourselves.

Sometimes, we need the ancient voices of stories and community to weave us back into life.

Are you ready to join the journey?

I initially came across Women Who Run With The Wolves in a study group. I immediately realized its importance & potential for women’s work.

I thought, so much more could be done with the stories in this book than talk about them (though dialogue is important).

So, I pulled practices & processes from my reflection on integration to bring the stories more alive for us & to more deeply embody their lessons.

We use the stories from the book as a launching point for the journey.

Here, we do not come to be fixed, but to be truly seen & nourished on our path. This allows us to more confidently step into our lives.

Open to all who primarily identify as women.

What’s Included

  • Bi-weekly group dialogues on Zoom (13 sessions @ 2.5 hours each, every two weeks).
  • 2 one-on-one sessions (60 min each) with Andra to discuss what emerges in the journey for you & receive undivided attention. These are available & bookable at any point in our journey.
  • Weekly play-work such as journaling prompts, questions for self-reflection, further creative explorations through reading, using the body & movement, etc.
  • Optional creative projects where you get to design your creative expression & clear the pathway for what your life force craves to create.
  • Sacred container to explore the Wild Woman archetype to be held, supported, & seen in your transformation.
  • Embodiment practices with the Wild Woman archetype to feel more alive & confident.
  • A gentle trauma-informed approach that creates safety in connection.
  • BONUS: 3 group sessions for integration after the journey completes in December 2023 – February 2024. Integration of the insights from the journey brings transformation of daily life (relationships, career, inner emotional realm, etc.).

Let me answer this…

Reading the book on your own is inspiring. This may be enough for you.

However, journeying with the book in a group is deeply transformative. The group supports new insights, new felt experiences, & new ways of being.

In this way, we heal.

There is something so precious that happens when another strings together the perfect insightful share. It can move you. It brings new hope & connection.

And, to be the person who touches another so deeply leaves us feeling accepted, worthy, appreciated, truly seen…

We can undo the silos we’ve built around ourselves.

You can have a deeper transformation with these stories in a group journey.

Being seen, felt, & heard in group work is immensely powerful & healing.

Transformation doesn’t need to be a lonely path!

From past participants…

Connection is healing

This is not for you if:

  • You do not have time for 2-3 hours weekly of work/play in addition to our group sessions.
  • You are not ready to engage in your own healing & transformation in a group dynamic.
  • You are not ready to be vulnerable in a group.
  • You do not feel pain for the state of our planet.
  • You have no interest in myths, stories, archetypes, or transformational practices.

→ Integration sessions are a time for us to process our insights, & further anchor them in our being so that daily life is transformed.

Integration (n.) – the process of tethering insights to the physical dimension to affect change.

To integrate an experience is to make it one’s own, whereby it becomes a part of the organizing principle of the self via processes of assimilation & transformation.

More sweet words from a past participant…

The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.

About Your Guide

Andra Dediu is a transformational guide for groups and one-on-one.

She is fully devoted to her own path and with being in service with integrity. She is in no way a master and does not take power from you.

She just wants to walk with you for a while on this mysterious journey.

Andra carries a briefcase of trainings from experiential therapy to mindfulness & yoga to sound healing to NLP to even channeling – she’s dabbled lots to arrive at her own authentic offerings. She is currently undergoing a Master’s in Consciousness Studies and Transpersonal Psychology, alongside a second degree in Transpersonal Counselling to more fully support her continuing process of integration & embodiment.

She deeply knows that all resides within her, just as all resides within you. It is time to share our knowings with each other from a place of love and abundance. 

More Kind Words


Bri, Turkey

“Andra is mindful, intuitive, and passionate. She’s coached me through some very difficult times. Her coaching has helped me tap into my higher consciousness, and be more mindful. I’ve been able to recognize unhealthy patterns and transform my linear thinking into a more holistic thinking style that allows growth. After every session I feel revived and most importantly closer to my authentic self! Highly recommend!”

Mar, Thailand

“Andra came to my life as the magical being that she is, in the perfect timing, bringing a sense of community, meaning and sacred space to the crazy Bangkok. I needed to commute for 2 hours to get to her kundalini dance class every week and I didn’t miss any session (nobody in the group did) in the 7 weeks. I loved how she hold the space for us to go deep. She is profoundly committed to her spiritual growth and you can feel that in anything she does. I would totally recommend working with her!!!!”

Nicola, Canada

“I was hoping to expand my family. I had two pregnancies that were not viable and I was pregnant with my third pregnancy. This was an anxious time for me. … Andra was there to listen to my fears, encourage me to stay present and to believe in the power of my body. Andra is able to listen without judgement, asks before offering advice, understands how the body and the mind are interconnected, is open about her own struggles and is someone who brings a calm and caring nature to those she meets. When I describe her to people who haven’t met her, I say she is my ‘wise woman’ friend. I recently gave birth to my second child, Andra helped connect me with a variety of doulas… For those that are seeking her services, you will be in caring but honest hands.”
