Jean Shinoda Bolen is famous for her landmark books that relate personal psychology to the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology. In these 3 remastered lectures, Jean weaves deeply personal stories with ancient myths to help us see what\u2019s really important to us: our connection to the truth of our own soul and to other people.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In her warm, conversational way Jean illustrates how ego, complex, myth and personal choice play out in our individual lives. She offers us a field guide to some of the most common postures we fall into unconsciously. Jean shares parts of the myths of Procrustes, Atalanta, Hera, Hestia, Inanna and Hecate. These stories speak of being cut up and still being intact, of sovereignty and commitment. They hold clues about how to find our own autonomy, creativity and capacity for relationship. We learn that when our old self is dead we need to visit the underworld, for that is the place of resurrection and return.<\/p>\n

Jean both lets us be where we are and sends us on our way. She says that if your life is dry, maybe you need to let go of what\u2019s old and grab something new. She holds the question to us: What are you going to do with your creativity and your truth?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Course Overview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part One: Heart connections\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Jean touches several topics in this opening lecture. She begins with the power of Hera\u2019s jealousy to possess us. The goddess Hestia shows us the importance of tending the fire of relationship. Every significant relationship we\u2019re in is either a circle of mutual interest or a hierarchy of one person over the other. The story of Procrustes\u00b4 bed illustrates how we spend much of our lives adapting, meeting other peoples\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n

At some point that doesn\u2019t work anymore. We realize we need to make a commitment to our own soul. This isn\u2019t easy. The place of creative tension is where we\u2019re drawn to do something and also held back. The struggle itself\u00a0 is of value. Sometimes our unchosen hardships turn out to be the lessons that give our life meaning. In this context Jean shares her experience of her son\u2019s lifelong illness and her continued connection with him after his death.<\/p>\n

Part Two: Crossroads and the Underworld\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

In this class Jean talks about Hecate, the goddess of the cross roads. Hecate sees the path we\u2019ve come down and she sees the options before us. Jean gives the example of prominent doctors who chose to present evidence of reincarnation though they knew it would damage their careers. Jean sees therapists in Hecate\u2019s role as they help clients hold their experience, let go of the old and claim what they know is true. Jean tells the Sumerian story of Inanna\u2019s descent through 7 gates to the world of the dead. Inanna\u2019s story illustrates how we must shed old personas and recover what we\u2019ve cut off from ourselves.<\/p>\n

Part Three:<\/b>\u00a0Sowing Circles\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Jean shares her \u201cMillionth Circle\u201d work creating groups of people who care about each other (see glossary) .These circles become vital supports for personal and sacred connections. Jean tells the story of the goddess Atalanta, an indomitable and powerful virgin. Atalanta has a footrace with a suitor who distracts her with 3 golden apples. The apples represent questions every strong woman must consider. Working on ourselves with these questions impacts the whole net of humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
