“A Special Wisdom Comes to You in the Second Half of Life, Teaches Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen
On this stunning live session, analyst Jean Shinoda Bolen explores an inner source of sacred power within women - the wise-woman archetype - and its meaning in our lives today. With a fascinating scholarship, Dr. Bolen takes us back to the dawn of history to probe the origins and psychological significance of the middle-aged woman in society. Ancient cultures, she tells us, looked at menopause as a "withholding of the blood," not to make a child as in youth, but to make wisdom. During the Middle Ages, the men of the Inquisition undertook the extermination of these female elders, who threatened their domination over western culture. The Wise-Woman Archetype illuminates both the history and meaning of the special wisdom that comes to women after menopause, and the path to reclaiming its power today.
Additional Contents: The triple goddess; blood mysteries of ancient cultures; women's pilgrimages today; wonders of the older woman; laughter and the body's wisdom; menopause crises and their deeper meanings; the interior source of inhibitions in women; teaching stories; and much more.
