About this listen

 An expanded edition of the classic on creativity by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes guides you through the dark labryinths of the psyche in search of la chispa - the ember that is the elemental source of all creative work.

Dr. Estes teaches about the hidden aspects of creativity, including the negative complexes that prey upon creative energy. The Creative Fire includes many special insights for people who create for a living: artists, writers, teachers, and others who must depend on thier creative instincts every day.

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.
