Speaking to my soul.

She is so wise and wonderful in the ways in which she incorporates stories and Jungian psychology. I am so thankful for her books and this amazing audio series.

inspiring wisdom that is deeply needed in this world, today.

I think my family is tired of me carrying on about the content in Clarissa's books! Since my mother passed, i have missed her voice of wisdom so deeply. When I listen to Clarissa's material, I feel like I am getting a part of my mom back, as she was a big fan of the original "Women Who Run Woth the Wolves." I have missed my mom and grandmother more than words could ever express. Both were avid story tellers. I can not speak highly enough about Clarissa's work. In a time where so much is up in the air for human rights and women's rights, she is the voice I need to listen to, as she reminds us all how strong, how resilient and how utterly capible we are of doing great things.

#1 pick for loving your body

Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes emanates true embodiment wisdom. Her voice is nurturing and drips knowledge for you to soak up. The concept of the body being your beautiful, lifetime consort is presented in an articulate and heart warming way that comforts your soul the whole way through.

Joyful and Profound

Estes has a voice as soothing and full of wisdom as could be asked for. This series is a balm and a guide, invoking the wisdom of the body, soul and the mind through the recounting of many stories, both personal, folkloric, mythological and spiritual. Estes does a masterful job using Jungian influenced psychology irrevocably fused with story to provide a guide and a loving push towards loving the body and the self. You'll find eerily pertinent advice and comfort here.
