inspiring

i love dr clarissa's voice, which is so soothing as if it comes from beneath waterfalls. i found the content quite dense so for me this was not a quick or easy listen, i woukd pause several times and only listen to small sections at a time, but found it very inspiring and enriching overall, and helpful for me to understand my own creative process.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes at her best

I've read Women who run with the Wolves many times and think it is totally wonderful. This is a great collection of short tales and wisdom in a similar vein from Clarissa. She has such a beautiful voice and is so eloquent and easy to listen to. If you liked Women who run with the wolves you'll love this!

Sublime

I have this on loop! It makes you feel as though you are being given access to the hidden and mysterious; an initiation into an interior world. An absolute “must listen to”. Can someone ask Dr C to do “The Creative Fire” series please!!!

Absolutely brilliant!!!! Thank you! x

Brilliant

Loved it, really like the myth stories and found it brought up lots of parallels with my own work as an artist and led me to view my artistic practice in a new way.
