The Soul-making School
A Jungian Map for Embodying Your Feminine Soul
An Immersive 9-Month Program in the Lineage of Marion Woodman
Spring Equinox (March 21st) to Winter Equinox (December 19th) 2025
“The feminine soul is what grounds us; it loves and accepts us in our totality. Our challenge is to embody this.”
Marion Woodman
“Sil’s presence opens the way for women to go where they wouldn’t have otherwise imagined they could go.”
Hi, I’m Sil.
I’m a mother, a grandmother, a crone, a best-selling author, a teacher, and a coach for women.
I guide women in transforming their lives from the inside out.
“Sil is brilliant, intuitive, inclusive of others and their perspective, an incredible combination of head and heart intelligence, incisive, humorous, direct, and so loving. She takes us on a journey that is not prescriptive. When Sil teaches I have the true experience of an essay, from the French essai (to explore, meander, try) — you take us on a wander, Sil, and where we end up is pure magic.”
— Simona, student of Sil and Sandra
A LETTER FOR YOU:
Dear one seeking to EMBODY YOUR FEMININE SOUL,
I’m so excited for the soul timing to finally be ripe (on the cusp of my 70th birthday no less!) to have an online school devoted to Marion Woodman’s body of work! My vision for this school first came into being a few years ago after I had a simple and profound dream. In the dream, Marion was alive and well, and I was assisting her in setting up a workshop (something I did from time to time when she was alive and teaching.) I asked her how I could help and she replied, “I need a new container for my silverware.”
The Soul-making School is a new container for Marion Woodman’s silverware. This online program is a container that will provide access and guidance for conscious engagement with her lineage of love and wisdom for the next generations of students. Marion’s map of the archetypes – and the tools and practices she taught me along the way – are the ‘silverware’ for ingesting the nourishment of her teachings.
Before embarking on this work of becoming whole with Marion, my intense and messy big-heartedness felt like a stigma and I learned to shun my own heart.
Marion taught me that difficult initiations are part of life, and they are essential to the individuation process. My initiations included the difficult birth of my daughter, the dissolution of my unhappy marriage, and the initiation of stepping up to my true calling (and career) ... they were all moments that called me into the fire. They were moments when I learned to no longer shun my own heart and my life changed forever.
In these fateful moments I was brave enough to consciously and creatively step into my soul’s destiny because Marion had given me a safe container, and a map, for transmuting my pain and fear into nourishment for my soul. She lent me the support and encouragement that I needed by showing me that these were rites of passage that were universal and could be transformative. Marion knew the territory: initiations had tenderized her heart and she was able- little by little- to embody her feminine soul along her way home to her own true self.
Embodying our feminine soul is about being creative with how life happens for us and through us. Marion taught me about Soul-making by sharing the words of John Keats- a poet whom she loved. He wrote: “Call the world if you please ‘The vale of Soul-making’. Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?”
For so many of us, we have past initiations that we have not fully felt our way through – and we know it. Dear one, it is not too late. Your unconscious, your dreams, and parts of your unmet heart and soul wait for you like precious not-yet-unwrapped packages. Will you go to the door and receive them, one archetypal stage at a time?
Sandra Hilton- storyteller extraordinaire- will be assisting me in teaching you about these archetypal stages through fairy tales and myths. She has assisted me at my retreats and in the Alchemy of the Heart course, and I can’t wait for you to experience her wisdom and magic.
In the container of this school, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to emerge out of that heartache into the fullness of your own true life– not the life that was projected onto you or expected of you.
If you feel called to make and embrace your feminine soul – by learning how to meet the inevitable initiations that come your way – I invite you to keep reading and learn more about The Soul-making School here on this page. If you feel an aligned fit, I’d be honored to have you apply!
Love,
Sil 🌀
“Sil's fluency with the language of dreams (both sleeping and waking), in chorus with the solemnity, warmth, and humor she brings to each meeting, provides a rich container for what feels as much like a creative process as it does a home-coming—as emergent as it is familiar; as catalyzing as it is relieving; as sweet as it is deep.”
— Heather, student of Sil and Sandra
Are you yearning for a space to more deeply study and embody the work of Marion Woodman in your life?
Are you longing for safe and soulful sisterhood?
Are you passionate about myths, fairytales and the magical world of depth and meaning around you (seemingly unseen by some)?
Are you wanting to be held and guided by a wise crone in these years of your life?
Are you craving spiritual and emotional depth and grounding in community so that you can be a better resourced- and more mindful- activist in our chaotic world?
“Soul-making is allowing the eternal essence to enter and experience the outer world through all the orifices of the body … so that the soul grows during its time on Earth. It grows like an embryo in the womb. Soul-making is constantly confronting the paradox that an eternal being is dwelling in a temporal body. That’s why it suffers, and learns by heart.”
Imagine with Me…
You get to gather live every few weeks (from anywhere in the world and in the comfort of your own home) with a deep sisterhood community committed to Marion Woodman’s work and lineage.
You get masterfully held by a wise crone and her team of wise women.
In sisterhood, you remember more and more in your bones that you’re not alone and that sisterhood can be safe and nourishing.
You have found a community of women who, like you, are hungry for depth and have done a lot of inner work, so everyone is a teacher.
You finally feel like you have the tools to walk kindly and consciously through the fire that the individuation process brings… and more deeply embody your feminine soul
You’re deepening into your Jungian lineage, working with dreams, fairy tales, myths and metaphor – with such giddy enthusiasm!
You’re more and more living your own life, and not your parents' unlived life.
And through this… your life shifts around you – from gentle ripples to big waves of change – your calling, your family, your lineage… and starts to feel like the creative process that it is and can be.
“Inside this online container, Sil brings a masterfully clear and penetrating truth with her thoughts, words and actions. My mind and heart feel inspired by her. Sandra brings a tender and mysterious embodied witchiness to the magic and myth. It touches the depths of my body and soul. Their love and devotion to Marion's work feels like a sweet and sacred heart cave for us to rest and regenerate.”
— Shela, student of Sil & Sandra

— Indie, student of Sil & Sandra
What We Cover Together:
This program is an experience in Feminine weaving and teaching style.
Sil and Sandra will teach with myths and fairy tales, and also while working with dreams. Their style of teaching together is lively, interactive, and intuitive- with time for contemplation and integration.
Sil will also teach through working 1:1 with a few women each session as she guides them in processing what is arising for them and the group. At the core of this program is Marion’s Map:
The Feminine Spiral
AKA “Marion’s Map”
You might ask, what is Marion’s map? We are often taught that the Feminine Cycle is the phases of biological or life phase development that a woman moves through in her lifetime: maiden, mother and crone. While I have deep reverence for those who work consciously with the miracle of the body (my first line of work was as a gynecological nurse practitioner), my work as an elder- a crone- is inspired by the many years I studied with Marion Woodman and is devoted to the soul: where spirit and matter meet.
What I call the Feminine Spiral- or ‘Marion’s Map’- is archetypal psychology’s answer to biology– and marks the inner journey we can consciously go through in our lives. Marion reimagined- through her own process of individuation and those of her clients- the three psychological stages as Conscious Mother (an archetypal dyad that includes relationship with the Maiden), Conscious Virgin, and Conscious Crone. Each semester will be devoted to one of these three inner, archetypal stages.
So, how is a map also a spiral? Jung’s words here might help you understand this paradox- they helped me: “The spiral in psychology means that when you make a spiral you always come over the same point where you have been before, but never really the same, it is above or below, inside, outside, so it means growth."
Marion called this paradoxical way of growing as the feminine way (whatever your gender). She wrote:
“Linearity does not come naturally to me. It kills my imagination. Nothing happens. No bell rings. No moment of here and now. No moment that says yes. Without these, I am not alive. I prefer the pleasure of the journey through the spiral. Relax. Enjoy the spiral. If you miss something on the first round, don't worry. You might pick it up on the second—or third—or ninth. It doesn't matter. Relax. Timing is everything. If the bell does ring, it will resonate through all the rungs of your spiral. If it doesn't ring, it is the wrong spiral— or the wrong time— or there is no bell.”
I can think of no better place from which to teach and guide students in this feminine way than with Marion’s map of the individuation process. I can think of no better image than painter Georgia O’Keefe’s spiral shell painting than ‘Red Hill And White Shell’ (1938) as the symbol for The Soul-making School.
Bonus: Alchemy of the Heart ❤️🔥
You will receive a recording with Sil & Sandra- call it pre-homework- in order to prepare for your Soul-making journey. In this recording we will cover foundational material on the individuation process that will be essential as you embark on your journey.
Spring Semester:
Conscious Mother
Security vs Anxiety
“Feminine consciousness rises out of the mother, and you have to be grounded in that, because without it you’d just be blown away by spirit. Feminine consciousness, as I see it, means going into that grounding and recognizing there who you are as a soul. It has to do with love, with receiving—most of us in this culture are terrified of receiving. It has to do with surrendering to your own destiny, consciously—not just blindly, but recognizing with full consciousness your strengths, your limitations.” — Marion Woodman
Our first semester is devoted to the inner work of the Maiden/Mother archetypal dyad.
As spring blooms around us in the waking world of the Northern Hemisphere, perhaps your inner Maiden can come out and play, trusting that she will be mirrored and contained at last- that she will be received- by your inner positive Conscious Mother. You will learn to have greater access to what often feels impossible to find: true delight in- and cherishment of- all the perfectly imperfect younger parts of you that long for the security that unconditional love can give.
We will also focus on many ways we can ward off the energy and influence of Negative Mother and Death Mother - both inner and outer- particularly in the ways that these archetypal energies impact our creative process, how we feel about our bodies and food, how we experience sisterhood, and how we can or can’t receive love.
Bethany Saltman, author of Strange Situation: A Mother’s Journey Into the Science of Attachment will be our guest teacher for the semester. In her presentation Delight: Cultivation Inner Secure Attachment, Bethany will expertly weave attachment research together with our work of embodying the feminine soul.
Summer Semester:
Conscious Virgin
Sovereignty vs Servitude
“Women are, by nature, disposed to relationship and connectedness; yet true relationship cannot be embraced until a woman has a deep sense of her at-one-moment. Without this essential independence from all roles and bonds, she is a potential victim of servitude.” — Marion Woodman
Our second semester is devoted to the inner work of the Virgin archetype.
Marion often spoke about how she was at a loss for finding a more beautiful or accurate word than “virgin” to describe this psychological stage. She knew it was a tricky word, but felt its non-sexual definition – virgin like a virgin forest – described the essence of this archetypal stage. The natural balance of a forest in nature – a metaphor of a whole and complete psychological ecosystem full of seeds and possibilities.
The questions the inner Virgin asks from her wild and true instinctual nature are: Who am I? What are my values? What are my needs? Am I true to myself? Do I betray myself? What are my feelings? Am I capable of love? Am I true to my love? She experiences sovereignty through the hard work of answering these questions– answers that come by differentiating the voices of her unconscious.
There is also a kind of magic that comes with this hard work which Marion expresses so beautifully here: “Once the question is in consciousness, the answer is constellated in the unconscious… The answer often lies in the unconscious waiting for the question to be consciously asked.”
Hojin Kimmel, Zen Buddhist teacher and Abbot of the Fire Lotus Zen Temple of NYC -and also a co-teacher at Sil’s in-person retreats- will be our special guest teacher for the semester. During her presentation, she will take us into a contemplative embodied experience of the Royal Ease pose- the pose that Quan Yin, the goddess of mercy and compassion, is often depicted. We can explore an embodied experience of sovereignty and consider a post-colonial exploration of one’s inner royal nature.
Fall Semester:
Conscious Crone
Joy vs Despair
“Since she has not been present in the culture, she has not been readily accessible to the conscious awareness of modern women. Without her, even the dynamic symbols of Virgin and Mother are distorted. The Crone in a woman is that part of her psyche that is not identified with any relationship nor confined by any bond. She infuses an intrinsic sense of self-worth, of autonomy, into the role of virgin and mother, and gives the woman strength to stand to her own creative experience.” — Marion Woodman
Our final semester brings us into the archetypal energies of the Crone: one who Marion said can be “crowned” for her age and wisdom of experience and her ability to ‘see with her heart’. Marion reinstated Conscious Crone in her lineage and we continue this lineage in the school under Sil’s leadership.
Dying Into Life is the subtitle of Marion Woodman’s book Bone, which is the published journal of her harrowing– and ultimately liberating– experience with cancer. She survived cancer, and for her the real liberation was no longer fearing death. Marion described the crone experience like this: “To the Crone, detachment is not indifference. It means she has lived, and suffered, and, having suffered, can draw back and see with her heart.”
The reason why older women (and men, and people of all gender identities, with a well-developed feeling function) have more access to the archetypal joy and liberation of the Conscious Crone is because they have more years than most to have cycled through conscious initiations. Women of all ages have access to crone joy, where it can be born out of surrendering to the pain of their initiations and into a new reality where they are strong enough to stand to their “own creative experience.”
Women of all ages have access to their inner crone wisdom and we will explore the many ways you can identify and work with crone energy: especially as our bodies age and our partriarchal culture insists that we must fall into despair at our fate as withered, irrelevant old hags! Not in this community… “Hagitude” abounds- Sharon Blackie’s word for reimagining aging.
Dr. Fanny Brewster, a Jungian analyst, will be our special guest speaker for the semester. In her presentation on Aging With Wisdom: Conscious Crone as Keeper of the Circle, she will help us to explore how best to age and grow in wisdom. Women are often said to be the Keepers of being wise and keepers of the Circle. If so, what might this look like as we age? What myths of the Feminine, can guide us today as we witness the oftentimes battering of the Feminine through society laws and centuries long oppression of one kind or another? We will gather and talk not only of a Battered Feminine, but also the Wisdom of becoming and being an Elder.
“Sil is so stabilizing and combines the loving wise witnessing energy of the crone with the playfulness of the maiden. Sandra weaves mother and virgin with tenderness and insight and holds the group container with so much compassionate wisdom alongside Sil.”
— Isabella, student of Sil & Sandra

“When a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to elevate the entire system to a higher order.”
– Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Prize-winning chemist
Wondering how to know if this program is the right fit for you?
I trust you to explore and land in your own knowing — and, reading this below may be helpful.
This program is likely for you if you resonate with some or all of these:
the idea that this school could be a community which you could experience as a “small island of coherence in a sea of chaos” with the capacity to elevate your inner and outer world to a higher order is a deep longing of yours: in essence, you want and sense that your consciousness is an inner ‘activism’ and it could be a gift for you and for a world out of balance
you’re drawn to Jungian psychology and have heard about the teachings and lineage of Jungian scholar Marion Woodman, and you may have read one of her books (and you also may have had a hard time understanding it!) listened to her audios, or watched her documentary, and want to dive deep!
you’re excited to access an online program from the comfort of your home and have the capacity to drop into deep presence while on calls (without significant distractions)
the themes of the archetypal psychology, alchemy, conscious initiation and individuation… land for you on a body and/or soul level — and this journey feels deeply personal and needed
you’re nourished by the idea of being held by a wise crone and her team
you’re excited to show up to each session ready to learn!!
being in community with other soul seekers in this lineage sounds like heaven
you’re able to make the program investment at this time
This program is likely NOT for you if you resonate with some or all of these:
you’re not really sure who Marion Woodman and what Jungian psychology is about, and/or you haven’t explored her work/Jungian work before
you’re feeling in a state of personal emergency/crisis/rawness at this time and you’d be better fit for 1:1 support or some immediate care to help you center or heal (being in a shared group space might not be the best fit!)
you only like in-person programs and don’t like online spaces
you’ve never really been in shared group experience before or don’t feel confident this dynamic would be supportive for you
the program investment is not financially doable for you at this time
“I love the questions and quotes posed during and after calls. I found myself contemplating and journaling between calls more than I have let myself in a while.”
— Mia, student of Sil & Sandra
Meet Our School Team:
Sil Read
(she/her)
Teacher
Sil is a mother, grandmother, crone, co-author of Mothering & Daughtering, a teacher and a coach for women. She has been a gynecological nurse practitioner and psychotherapist. Sil had the incredible good-fortune of learning from the master teacher, and elder, Jungian author and analyst Marion Woodman. She completed Woodman’s BodySoulRhythms certification program (co-taught with Mary Hamilton and Ann Skinner) in 2008. In this program she was trained in dreamwork, archetypal psychology, and the art and science of listening to the wisdom of the body.
Marion Woodman’s unique Jungian lineage focuses on bringing the archetypal Divine Feminine into our embodied, earthly lives. Sil considers Marion’s lineage her lineage- her spiritual motherline- and it has been her lifeline and alchemical container during difficult times. The genius of Woodman’s scholarship and her personal loving containment were crucial for Sil’s developing a capacity to meet difficulties with patience, courage, and compassion. By showing Sil how to honor her difficult passages as deeply meaningful and universal- essentially rites of passages- Woodman helped her to find infinitely resilient places in herself and to create her own alchemical container.
Sandra Hilton (she/her)
Assistant Teacher
Sandra is a mother, integrative therapist, coach, and witness to those on the inner journey. She has studied with Sil for several years in the lineage of Marion Woodman and brings a Jungian and relational approach to her practice.
Sandra’s professional journey began in the corporate world with almost 25 years of experience as a lawyer and business leader. She answered the inner call to retrain as a therapist over a decade ago and is also trained as a modern Medicine Woman with shaman Christa MacKinnon. She now combines the groundedness of the therapeutic, the worldliness of coaching and the magic of the shamanic.
Discovering Marion's work and then being able to work closely with Sil to deepen her practice and embodiment of the conscious feminine through dreams, symbols and archetypes, has transformed Sandra's life and work. She continues to be on her own journey to wholeness, as she supports others in theirs. She is devoted to learning to trust and honour the feminine and loves holding space with and for other women who are curious and hungry and longing to come home to what Marion Woodman called the "throne of our own heart".
Jessi Larssen (she/her)
Community Support
Jessi is an entrepreneur and creative spirit who loves bringing ideas to life. A lover of all animals—especially dogs—she has been guided to a deep desire to work with our natural instincts and energy bodies. Owning her own business for the past 14 years has been an education in learning to wear many hats.
While holding big questions and facing a crossroads, Jessi discovered Sil’s work and the lineage of Marion Woodman. It was everything she had been searching for after exploring various modalities and healing systems. Viewing both our inner and outer lives through the lens of Marion’s work—using a Jungian approach, dreams, metaphors, and myths—felt like a homecoming and a profound remembering for her.
Justina Pengel (she/her)
Enrollment & Tech Support
Justina is a mom of 3, wife, committed servant leader, and the driving force behind her business Digital Hive. She is also the driving force behind the smooth running of Sil’s business and the production of her retreats.

She passionately advocates for leveraging technology to humanize, unite, and address citizen-centric challenges. Sil is in awe of her technological prowess and grateful for her warm-heartedness.
Bethany Saltman (she/her)
First Semester Special Guest Speaker presenting on Delight: Cultivating Inner Secure Attachment
Bethany Saltman can’t believe she gets to work with women on their books every day. Her critically acclaimed first book, Strange Situation: A Mother’s Journey Into the Science of Attachment (2020, Random House) was named one of the Top Science Books of 2020 by New Scientist, has been published in five countries, and is included in psychology syllabi around the world. As a bestselling book coach and co-host of the BOOKBOUND podcast, Bethany is obsessed with the art of the nonfiction book proposal and with helping women claim their author-ity.

Hojin Kimmel (she/her)
Second Semester Special Guest Speaker will be presenting on Sovereignty: Embodying the Royal Ease Pose
Jody Hojin Kimmel is a Zen Buddhist monastic and teacher in the Mountains and Rivers Order, and the Abbot of the Zen Center of NYC-Fire Lotus Temple in Brooklyn. She is devoted to the path of easing stress and suffering, freeing the body-heart-mind, and rediscovering our natural state through the practices of meditation, compassionate inquiry, and creative processes.
Hojin is a rare example of a contemporary Zen teacher who uses artistic practices as her primary means of teaching. And through years of study and collaborative teaching with her co-crone Sil, Hojin feels a deep affinity with the work of Marion Woodman in her use of intimate language — metaphor, arts, myth, humor, and dreamwork (to name a few) to explore our being human.
Hojin will be teaching an online Ango Art Practice: Encountering Everywhere which is a wonderful complement to our work with dreams and archetypal imagery, on some Fridays from 10:30-12:00 EST this spring and summer. We will share the dates and details in our community Circle.
Fanny Brewster she/her
Third Semester Special Guest Speaker will be presenting on Aging With Wisdom: Conscious Crone as Keeper of the Circle
Dr. Fanny Brewster is a Jungian analyst and a Professor at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Her many groundbreaking books, including Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Race and Culture, African Americans and Jungian Psychology and, Archetypal Grief: Slavery’s Legacy of Intergenerational Child Loss, have helped readers to come to terms with Jung’s ongoing struggle to explain the cultural complex hobbled by his own biases. Dr. Brewster has undertaken the work of renewing and widening Jungian thought to include Africanist perspectives. She addresses the importance of elders as we go about the necessary work of evolving consciousness.
In her presentation, Dr. Brewster will help us to explore how best to age and grow in wisdom. Women are often said to be the Keepers of being wise and keepers of the Circle. If so, what might this look like as we age? What myths of the Feminine, can guide us today as we witness the oftentimes battering of the Feminine through society laws and centuries long oppression of one kind or another? We will gather and talk not only of a Battered Feminine, but also the Wisdom of becoming and being an Elder.
“Sandra’s way of engaging fairy tales with such dexterity and depth— it’s a masterclass in something more profound than analysis, it’s a dance of being across time and space so unequivocally grounded in her body, so when she speaks, she transmits.”
— Talia, student of Sil & Sandra
“There is no sense talking about ‘being true to yourself’ until you are sure what voice you are being true to. It takes hard work to differentiate the voices of the unconscious.”
— Marion Woodman
“Sil redefines the feminine archetypes of mother and crone by the way in which she wholeheartedly embodies and lives them. She is the wise elder who guides women in the essential work of restoring their motherlines- in their bodies and souls. In doing this, she shows us how to make space for all of who we are: what Sil lovingly refers to as ‘the good, the bad, and the beautiful’.”
Kimberly Ann Johnson, author of The Fourth Trimester and Call of the Wild

Why do you have an application?
This program is not for everyone: it’s for the devoted students of depth psychology with their hearts on fire for the world! We also want to make sure you’re ready to dive into the container. Our hope is that the application is a delicious and self-informative process for you. You’ll hear back from Sil within 2 business days.
Can I register for one or two semesters and not all three?
No. The school is a nine-month commitment where each semester builds on the previous one.
Will there be homework?
We will include notes from the session with the recording of the class, and they often include questions and prompts that you may want to work with. Circle- our community hub- is also a place to take the work deeper. Bottom line: there are no school ‘requirements’ except for the pre-work (Alchemy of the Heart recording), and attending class live or watching the recording at your own pace. If you want to go deeper, there will always be opportunities.
Is this a professional training? Am I certified in working with Marion’s lineage after this?
This is a personal experience for those wishing to deeply incorporate Marion’s map and lineage into their lives. You may also be a professional who feels inspired by what you have learned here and takes it deeper into your work life. This is not a certification. A certification program is in the works and will emerge in the years to come. The Soul-making School will always be the first step of any professional training that Sil leads: we do the personal first.
How large is the group?
We are not sure since this is the first time we are offering this program. Our best estimate for the size of the group is: 75-125 women
Is there a community connection part of this program? How do I stay connected?
Yes, we will have an online forum for everyone to stay in touch throughout the program. Jessi will be overseeing the forum and can help you to navigate Circle. Sil and Sandra will come in as they are able!
