Lecture:
Turning Points: Creativity and the Mystery
of Healing
(Reservations
required)
More...These are the “wake-up calls or turning points” that Jean speaks to so beautifully, not only in Close to the Bone but also in Crossing to Avalon and many other books she has written. This will give her the freedom to address creativity and healing at anymajor crossroad (life-threatening illness, divorce, a psychological crisis, etc.) where exceptional circumstances demand “becoming conscious of what truly matters to us, and acting upon what we know to save our life or heal our soul and our relationships” (Close to the Bone).
Friday, March 26, 10 am - 4:30 pm Workshop:
Path with Soul: One Step at a Time Individuation
More...This workshop will draw upon poetic metaphor and myth to illuminate the path we are traveling. Each of us is an unfinished work in process that is shaped by large and small choices we make with intended and unintended consequences. Unchosen circumstances impact us: health, relationships, finances, random acts of violence. Once we realize that dreams, physical symptoms, moods, addictions, joy, contentment, gratitude and creativity are all indications about how we are doing, we can check in with ourselves and get our bearings. The workshop is meant to be a serious pause for reflection. Lines from poems by Mary Oliver and from T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets may challenge, inspire or ring true. We may find some myths apply to us and realize that some archetypes need cultivating. The call to choose a path with soul is a heart choice, it may begin as an inner journey into the underworld or with an act of courage which may take us into uncertainty or be a call to adventure.

Alive Aware Awake! Gathering Circles of Women
Sat, May 1: Workshop:
Grail, Goddesses, Circles and the
Sacred Feminine
Jean Shinoda Bolen will awaken us to the legendary, mythic and spiritual realm of the sacred feminine and aware that the grail and goddesses are archetypes, symbols with depth and meaning for us all. The wounded Fisher King and the wasteland are symbols of outer patriarchal reality and inner metaphors for depression. This workshop will provide opportunities to awaken to inner sources of wisdom and compassionate action and encourage the formation of circles with a sacred center that can nourish and support who we are and what we are here for--as spiritual beings on a human path.

New York Kripalu Center
Workshop:
Path with Soul: One Step at a
Time Individuation
More...This workshop will draw upon poetic
metaphor and myth to
illuminate the path we are traveling. Each of us is an unfinished
work
in process that is shaped by large and small choices we
make with
intended and unintended consequences. Unchosen circumstances
impact us: health, relationships, finances, random acts
of violence.
Once we realize that dreams, physical symptoms, moods,
addictions, joy, contentment, gratitude and creativity are
all
indications about how we are doing, we can check in with
ourselves
and get our bearings. The workshop is meant to be a serious
pause
for reflection. Lines from poems by Mary Oliver and from
T.S.
Eliot's Four Quartets may challenge, inspire or
ring true. We may find
some myths apply to us and realize that some archetypes
need
cultivating. The call to choose a path with soul is a heart
choice, it
may begin as an inner journey into the underworld or with
an act of
courage which may take us into uncertainty or be a call
to adventure.
Listening to stories that turn out to be about us, experiences
being in
small circles with a sacred center, a guided meditation
are
predicatable elements in Jean Bolen’s workshops

Feathered Pipe Ranch
Autumn Equinox Women's Retreat
"Your One Wild and Precious Life: A Deepening Gathering
for Women"
with Jean Shinoda Bolen and Chalise Brooke
Medicine Eagle
More... Join Jean and Chalise Brooke Medicine Eagle at the Feathered Pipe Ranch in Montana, for Your One Wild and Precious Life: A Deepening Gathering for Women. Come to meet Hecate. the goddess-archetype at the threshold of transitions: Goddess of the Crossroads, midwife, witness, and personification of intuitive and psychic wisdom. She is the third, crone aspect of the great goddess, associated with the waning moon, autumn and the third phase of women's lives. Humanity is at a Hecate crossroad and women's consciousness and choice as crucial. Chalise Brooke brings us the Indigenous wisdom of the Grandmothers, of White Buffalo Woman and the ancient prophecies as they relate to this time of change and challenge on Mother Earth. Through Brooke's stories, shamanic journeys chants and dances, we can learn what has been forgotten or suppressed by western patriarchies and held in the consciousness of indigenous peoples.
Midweek, we'll descend into a shamanic cave which may have been a prehistoric initiatory chamber or a place to communicate with the spirit world. The winding path down feels labyrinthine. When inner work precedes this, it becomes an enactment of symbolic journey to the center, into the womb of mother earth, to the underworld, down to our own depths--and back, changed, transformed, or with something of value. Wherever we are--in circles, in the cave, in the sweat lodge (which is optional), the intention is provide a place for learning, truth, laughter, kindness, and wisdom. With a shift in consciousness, we become aware of synchronicities and come into communion with the larger life around us.

October 1 — Honolulu, HI
St Francis Hospice
Keynote:
The Meaning of Life at the Threshold of
Death:
Insights in the Midst of Grief
We are left behind, when someone near and dear steps through
the door that death is. The territory of grief and loss
is filled with memories, anniversary reactions, times of
acute missing, awareness of our own mortality. It can be
a crisis for the soul, a time of deepening wisdom and compassion,
or a turn toward bitterness, alienation and cynicism. This
is a liminal time for those with years left to live. The
meaning of life and what truly matters can become clearer.
Dream visitations, after-death communication, prayer, faith,
poetry and myths are what we can draw spiritual sustenance
from as we continue on.
