January 08, 2020 From Monastery To Marketplace - Jan Phillips - ND3419
When Jan was about to quit graduate school her friend and mentor asked her three questions: “Are you eating and drinking moderately? Are you doing something for your physical well-being? Do you have a spiritual practice?” Her answer to all of them was no. She then said to Jan, “Before you quit school take two weeks and get those things under control and call me.” That put Phillips in pursuit of her spiritual practice, which involves deep listening and resulted in a flood of creative outpouring as her imagination was fueled. This far-ranging conversation ranges from quantum physics to fear, from “erosphere” to “infosynthesis.” Phillips vibrates with enthusiasm and practical advice for our positive, evolutionary future. Jan Phillips is an award-winning photographer, writer, multimedia artist, and national workshop leader. She is co-founder and Executive Director of the Livingkindness Foundation, a global network for grassroots philanthropists.

January 01, 2020 Calling On The Spirit Of Artemis - Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. - ND3514
The Greeks have given us a wealth of complex folklore and myths that are full of meaning for our lives. Among them are the stories of the Goddess Artemis and her human counterpart, Atalanta. They give us clues as to how to navigate the zig-zags of life. While demonstrating that life never unfolds in a straight line, the Greek myths give us inspiration to live into our fullness. Bolen declares, “Everybody has setbacks, everybody has suffering, everybody loses and wins at certain times of their lives.” She advises us to not give up; to call on the strengths of the Artemis archetype is to persevere without becoming bitter. Bolen encourages us to persist with what gives our life meaning and purpose.
Bolen is the author of many books, including Goddesses in Every Woman: Powerful Archetypes in Women's Lives (Harper Paperbacks 2004), Crones Don't Whine: Concentrated Wisdom for Juicy Women (Red Wheel/Weiser 2003),The Millionth Circle: How to Change Ourselves and The World--The Essential Guide to Women's Circles (Conari Press 1999), Urgent Message from Mother: Gather the Women, Save the World (Conari Press 2008), Like a Tree: How Trees, Women, and Tree People Can People Can Save the Planet (Conari Press 2010), Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman (Conari Press 2014), The Tao of Psychology: Synchronicity and the Self (reissued HarperSanFrancisco 2005), Close to the Bone: Life-Threatening Illness as a Soul Journey (Conari Press 2007)
