Program Description:
In her work as both a medical doctor and Jungian analyst, Jean Bolen noticed a similarity between serious illness and deep psychoanalytical work: both bring people into a personal "underworld" of fears and secrets. Uncovering these usually hidden realities can be profoundly healing. Here Bolen explains the processes that can turn pain into revelation and sometimes even physical recovery--and why this process is not just for those who are ill. "All of us have a life-threatening condition," she says. "We will all die--we just don't know when. So what are we here for? Isn't that what we need to find? That's the soul journey." 1 hour

Bolen is the author of several books including Goddesses in Everywoman (Harper &Row 1983) and Close to the Bone: Life-Threatening Illness and the Search for Meaning (Scribner 1996).
