In today’s episode, I want to honor Clarissa Pinkola Estés, a pioneerin mapping out feminine psychology and the Wild Woman archetype. She has been there for us, to encourage our deep, wild, powerful and creative selves that have much to offer in the most unconventional ways.You might know:” Women who run with the wolves”, or “ Untie the strong woman”, or “ Theater of the imagination” and so much more. Her insightinto our wild spirit, our wounded and healthy self, connected to the gorgeous,untamed wilderness of Nature, is profound and a huge contribution to our shining, developing and wildly creative womanhood that must be born continuously!Poem: “ Ode to Clarissa” by Esther Marion Song: “ Oración a lo silvestre” by Golondrina Text written and spoken by Esther MarionPodcast produced by Esther Marion and JCSoundwww.esthermarion.com/podcastwww.jonahcohensound.com

In today’s first episode, we are exploring the idea of calling by name the help that we would love to get, that we would like to involve with what we are doing here. Help from this earth or from beyond. It is also an homage to the healers who have gone before us since ancient times, who are still dedicated to helping us making it through this hard time, balancing the forces, bringing light in, assisting us in our work, when we invite them and call them by name.This poem is called "Mamas Curanderas" or "Mother Healers", written by Esther Marion.The song is called "Grandma Easters Lullaby" by Pura Fe of the group Ulali.
