"Each one of us is a triumvirate being - at once the union of the body, soul, and all that lies within." For any that exprience disharmony amongst these three vital aspects, Dr. Clarissa Estes reveals a path back to wholeness. Join her with the Joyous Body for the third volume of her masterwork on the Wise Woman archetype. This empowering six-session program shares original and old family stories, poems and psychological commentary on the challenges, remedies and ancient knowings of the female body, "that which is not a dumb servant but a divine human traveler and consort."

Put on Repeat

I have never felt so connected to my body. Clarissa's story telling, wisdom, insight, ancestorial knowledge comes out like a waterfall, gushing over the listener. Honestly, the relationship with my body has forever been changed into beauty after this experience.

A treasure

Another radiant offering from Clarissa Pinkola Estes... this one feels perfectly suited to me as I pass through the threshold of peri/menopause and attune to certain newnessess in my body. I just appreciate her so much. I highly recommend this to women of any age, as with all her works.

Love this heart and soul filled work!

So beautiful! Love hearing this in the author’s own voice. The beautiful stories filled with reminders to include the body consort as another equal type of intelligence.

Wonderful, Magical, Healing Storytelling

Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a fantastically engaging story teller. The stories and concepts are deeply healing for anyone whose ever struggled to love or feel at home in their own body.

Transcendent

To be savoured and returned to again and again. If you have lost a mother, grandmother or wise mentor or perhaps never had any of those to guide and comfort you, perhaps you will find sanctuary here. I know I did. Her wisdom is timeless and speaks to all socio economic backgrounds with respect and understanding. A treasure of a voice, calling back the soul, putting balm on our wounds.

like hearing our cosmic grandmother's wisdom

this series is just wonderful. it's such a gift to be able to have such magical grandmother wisdom in our pockets. I really lean on Clarissa's guidance and wisdom in my daily life, in my relationship with myself and others. this is one for keeping for a lifetime and passing on to our children.
