Feeding the Good Wolf: What Does It Mean and How Can We Do It?

The concept of “feeding the good wolf” comes from a story attributed to Indigenous peoples of North America. The story conceives of two wolves that live inside each of us – a good wolf and a bad wolf. The good wolf is kind and compassionate. The bad wolf is warlike and destructive. Throughout our lives these two wolves are always at war. The wolf that wins this continuous battle is the one you feed. Therefore, ‘feeding the good wolf’ means nurturing those parts of us that are kind and compassionate.

Speaking of the impact of Good Wolf's transformational educational approach on people's lives, founder John Delfs, MD a Harvard Medical School–trained neuroscientist and physician, called it "the most thrilling thing I have ever experienced."
