The Joyous Body
The Joyous Body: Part Three of “The Dangerous Old Woman” “It is the nature of the saplings to quake in the winds; hesitant, learning to hold their own places. But, the older trees, with their years of testing and being tested, they are the ones who, whether in the long stern winds or misty gales, sway the most. Less a bouquet of tentative trembling first-time buds, now much more the leaf-perfumed hips of a hundred wide women dancing—these old ones, regardless of form, sway, by heart, to the music that thunders through them.”—Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés invites you to join her and the Dangerous Old Woman “at the fireside” once again for the third volume of her masterwork on the archetype of the wise woman. This six-session on-demand online program features original stories, poems, and psychological commentary on the challenges, remedies, and ancient knowings of the holy female body, “that which is not a dumb servant but a divine fellow traveler and consort.”
