Full Description
The Late Bloomer: Myths and Stories of the Wise Woman Archetype
What makes talent bloom? Ask what makes a tree blossom. They are the same.
It is not unfathomable. It only takes concentration. Concentration of energies is what makes a tree flower. Not bigger, not faster, not taking up more space. Rather … less space. Density … Pressure in hard places. Often, in the dark. Relentlessly. Freely. For as long as it takes.
Hold faith, a gestation can go long and for good reason, and nothing much shows above ground … But then, one day … —Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD
Return once again to the fireside with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés for the next presentation of her masterwork on the Dangerous Old Woman. This six-session event shares more original stories, poems, and psychological commentary exploring the cycles of “burgeoning, blooming New Life.” With an audience Q&A and a blessing prayer following each talk, The Late Bloomer speaks to all of us who sense within “great talent untapped completely, touchingly wondrous yet wounded or held back by fate in some way,” inspiring us to break through into worldly life using the creative fire of interior life … to burst into bloom time and again.

The Late Bloomer
Wow! Absolutely amazing storyteller, cantadora! Her voice is so soothing and yet so, so expressive. Better than watching a movie as it is dream-like where you are able to use your imagination. She takes you back to a time where life was life! Her psychological analysis and breakdown of the stories explain the depths of the storytelling medicine. I am healed from her stories!
Clarissa Pinkola-Estes is absolutely incomparable, one-of-a-kind! 🙏

It’s Never Too Late To Live Wisely
‘The Late Bloomer’ is the fourth and penultimate volume of Dr. Estés’ five-volume audio masterpiece known as ‘The Dangerous Old Woman.’ To the uninitiated it is difficult to describe the wisdom, insight, inspiration and stories in each volume of this series.
With the myriad skills of a therapist with decades of experience, and a depth psychologist and Jungian analyst at the top of her game, Dr. Estés deftly blends well-known stories, personal family legends and insight into a series of audio recordings that engage and inspire the listener.
As is usually the case with great work, teaching happens at many levels. Although Dr. Estés is a certified Jungian analyst, that label is too limiting. While Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell raised awareness of Archetypes, many cultural stories, legends, myths and wisdom have passed on from our ancestors for millennia. Often practitioners of depth psychology become Jungian analysts as a result of their education and studies. Dr. Estés seems to have been born to become one of our generations greatest oral and written story tellers, commune with Archetypes, Saints and Angels, as well as maintain a relentless desire to help, inspire and advocate for others.
One of the greatest gift of this series is its ability to guide the listener to discover who they really are, nurture and empower their “Original Voice,” and cast off social, cultural and personal bindings that separate the listener from his or her destiny and birthright.
