Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD
Today, the profoundly influential Jungian psychiatrist and author, Jean Shinoda Bolen, marks the 10th anniversary of the first publication of one of her most important books, Close to the Bone: Life-Threatening Illness as a Soul Journey, by leading us on an exploration of the intense psycho-spiritual issues raised when we face serious illness. Life-threatening diagnoses initiate a descent of the soul into the underworld. This can be a wake-up call, a turning point or a time of transformation. Large doses of truth may be needed. Saving your life may depend on trusting what you know in your bones, and finding love, hope, friendship, prayer and meaning in the midst of suffering. In this workshop, Jean will help us gain access to our inner wisdom by exploring the powerful stories and myths of Persephone, Psyche and Inanna and leading us in guided meditations to tap into the potent healing power of our personal archetypal symbols and figures.
