The Chrysalis: join us for a guided meditation and exploration of profound~yet practical healing modalities that feed the soul with Thea Palencia.

Good medicine!

"Somehow entering a very dark room forgotten, at the end of a very big castle and I have to find the key." -Cornelia Tae

The poignant and profound stories of two women from two different parts of the world as they share their journeys into and out of the world of postpartum blues, and their paths to healing.

My guests are Christina Valdivia Alcala, founder of the Tonantzin Society, and Romanian artist, Cornelia Tae. The quote is from Cornelia as she returns to contemplate her experience a decade later.

Part 2 of a 5 part series!

Depression and suicidal ideation are themes discussed.   

This is the first in a series that weaves together Jungian depth psychology with the myth of La Llorona, postpartum blues, and drawing from ancient Mesocamerica, reclaims childbirth as the profound rite of passage that it is.

In this first episode, Dr. Sandra del Castillo  introduces the vision of Blue Medicine Journal and imagining into a new world, and clarifies the language of a Jungian podcast on dreams, myth, and imagination!
