Author : Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Publication Date : 24/9/2014
Dr. Estes asks, ÒDid you know, you were born as the first, and the last and the best and the only one of your kind, and that eccentricity is the first sign of giftedness? These are two of the crone truths I have to offer you.Ó
If you have any doubt, come join us at the fireside of the Dangerous Old Woman for the soul-healing wisdom that will ignite your creativity and support your highest calling in lifeÑto become a dangerous woman of wisdom yourself.
Three decades in the writing, The Dangerous Old Woman presents part one of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes' masterwork. In six Òinspire 'til you're on fireÓ sessions, Dr. EstŽs animates the archetypal patterns of the Wise Woman through her original stories, poetry, and blessings.
Join her in this landmark recording to meet the Dangerous Old Woman from across world history and cultures, including La Anciana, the Ancient One; the Midwife Exemplar; La Tejadora, the Weavers of Fate; the Juggler Women; and many more.
Old While Young, and Young While Old
We are each born with two forces that give us every lens we need to see who we really are: the wild and ever-young force of imagination that contains intuition and instinct, and the wise elder force of knowledge that holds boundaries and carries the heart of the visionary.
Through captivating stories including ÒSnow White,Ó ÒLas Tres Osas,Ó and ÒThe Ruby Red Fox,Ó Dr. Estes illustrates why this twofold way of being Òold while young, and young while oldÓ is the secret to holding and replenishing the center, thus living wildly and wisely ensouled amidst life's travails and triumphs.
Your Legacy: Wild and Wise, Both
ÒIf you are not free to be who you are, you are not free,Ó says Dr. Estes. The freedom to be different means one can continue to deepen the work of bringing your one-of-a-kind legacy into the world É by following the trail to that freedom blazed by the Dangerous Old Woman, she who stops at nothing to nourish, protect, and guide us in the offering of all our creative gifts.
