Marion Woodman Lecture

Well I'm sitting here typing all excited, having discovered a treasure of a lecture - it's tucked away on the Washington National Cathedral website and is from 2005, but is timeless :)

In this lecture, Marion Woodman leads an exercise that gives a taster of her work; discusses Jung's ideas about body and soul; and explains what led her into Jungian analysis.

She also tells one of the stories about her life that I absolutely adore: her encounter with the Black Madonna (in an Indian hotel foyer, of all places!). Whenever I mention this story to people who don't know Marion/her work, they always go all wide-eyed because it really is magical.

There are many other gems: the sacredness of dreams; questions such as 'how many people as Christmas approaches feel it as the coming of a new consciousness?' not to mention the presence of an angel - and a unicorn....

Enjoy the wisdom,

Esther
