A WOMAN’S BODY & THE HEALING POWER OF MYTHOLOGICAL ARCHETYPES
Dr. Jaffa Frank speaks with Cherie Burton on her Women Seeking Wholeness Podcast about:
- The way that an archetypal, embodied, mythopoetic approach to suffering and loss can deepen and transform hardship into hope and empowerment.
- The soul as a relational phenomenon that ensouls all of life with meaning.
- The life-affirming truth of death/rebirth goddesses like the Gorgon Medusa as “soul teachers” with whom we can be in actual relationship.
- What it means to be a human woman in embodied relationship with the archetypal divine?
- Healing embodied misogyny and reclaiming our most indigenous processes (menstruation, pregnancy/birthing, menopause).
- Sacred shame as self-reverence.
