Psyche And Soul: Walking The Tranformational Path with Jacquelyn Small

MP3 Download

Once upon a time, a soul turned towards matter and fell in love with it. Burning with desire to experience bodily pleasures, she was no longer willing to tear herself away from it. And so our world was born. The soul is Psyche, and according to psychotherapist and author, Jacquelyn Small, she was the only goddess willing to become a human girl to travel through life in order to teach us that we are both human and divine. In this insightful dialogue, Small invites us to walk the two worlds of Psyche. On our mythic journey, we explore the four tasks Aphrodite gave to Psyche, and how they correspond to the first four initiations of life, twelve basic principles that can change the world, the human shadow, its sacred function, and what happens when two powerful shadows oppose each other. "We need to honor and recognize each other's shadows as being a part of who we are, while the psyche is trying to heal from all the wounds that it has taken on."
