Will The Real Goddess Please Stand Up? with Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.

In redefining the roles of women in these times, words often fail us as old models in our culture have been tied to an aging and rigid vocabulary. Yet to evolve new models, we also need a new vision and new modes of expressing that vision. Without leaving our Western cultural heritage, Bolen penetrates beyond the “historicity” of Greek myth to find, in the Greek goddesses, living archetypes of psychological modes and life roles of women today. Are you an independent and self-sufficient “virgin” goddess, a “vulnerable” goddess in traditional relationship roles, or an “alchemical” goddess, preferring change and creative process to permanence? Share with us in this illuminating, self-revealing search. This hour and 50 minute program was a live radio program and includes call-ins from listeners. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
