Publisher's Summary

Where is the memory of who we really are, who sent us here, and what our work is here? And why so often are we feeling unusual, so different, so eccentric, so belonging to a tribe of one? Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, published in 34 languages and one of the most far-reaching artist-psychoanalyists of our time, teaches that in archetypal imagination, "Mother Night is the quintessential medial woman, the woman who can walk in two worlds... 'the one who knows' and who can reveal solid ways of living and unleashing creative life in both worlds."

Sounds True

The wisdom this author awakens in people with her well spun prose is bottomless. You will find your darkest parts lit aflame, and the light she guides you to cast upon your own shadows will be a warm and lasting one. I listened in bits while at work, and thus recommend listeners be in a quiet place by chapter's end; there is a prayer or poem each time, and you'll want to be open and attentive, and able to relax into the sounds. Amen...and a little woman...you'll see!

A Divine Gift

Clarissa’s ability to weave you into a story is an art well worth the purchase of any of her works. This edition of work classically included a myriad of stories to keep me enchanted while covering a multitude of important topics such as dream work. I learned a lot from this that I am able to integrate into my daily life. It has shifted my narrative and influenced my world view greatly.

Clarissa is one of my all time story tellers.

Clarissa is one of my all time favorite story tellers. Real life struggles, lessons. and idiosychronieties of being human is told with wisdom, compassion and humor. So very entertaining and enlightening

Soothing, dreamy, and absolutely filled with heart

I loved everything about this listen, and will probably listen to it again and again as my heart and mind need.

Truly a gift.

So I’ve only just finished the first segment and I’ve already been profoundly impacted by Clarissa’s heartfelt wisdom. Listening to this feels like an intimate and deeply personal experience. I have been absorbing every word, and often find tears welling up in my eyes. I’m not sure exactly why. So much compassion, so much knowledge to offer from a lifetime of learning and self actualization. I’ve done may courses on “spirituality” though rare do I feel hard one empathy/ sympathy like I do here. Clarissa Pinkola Estes has something real to offer.
