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."

Heart healing

I love all of Dr Estes‘ work but this piece made my heart just a little bit bigger. It filled me up. This is for everyone, especially women that have dared to live, and for those that want to show up and be the uninvited guest at the wedding or funeral.

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.

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.

Amazing

One of the best books and storytellers and mpsy pleasant voices on Audible! Targeted at older cisgender women, though critical insights for anyone I think!
