About this listen

 The Red Shoes is a dramatic excursion into the realm of the soul with analyst Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Using an ancient tale deeply rooted in our collective psyches, Dr. Estes illuminates how people fall prey to destructive impulses while seeking to balance thier inner lives.

In our culture, she begins, we may travel life's path in two ways: In handmade shoes, crafted with love and care according to the unique needs of the individual soul; or In Red Shoes, which promise instant fufillment, but ultimately lead to a painful hollow-split exsistence.

Clarissa is a brilliant healer, if you listen closely....she explains how trauma comes about, the impacts of trauma, and the way back into wholeness and healing- in a very short eloquent piece she manages to bring forth the essence of the medicine needed for all the poisions that the spirit has had to suffer so that it once again can take it's rightful place and lead people back into their own center and their own authentic life.

Nourishing, insightful, warm, healing, a true curandera of stories that sits at the bonfire with you, and somehow manages to put your spirit back into wholeness with her magick touch, skillfull use of words, voice, singing and soulful insights.

One of my favorite pieces by her, absolutely recommended

Healing & Insightful

This is one of many allegories explained beautifully by CPE. Her blend of story and psychological archetype is truly inspiring.

CPE is THE BEST storyteller
