Klappentext From Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Part Three of Her Masterwork on The Dangerous Old Woman "It is the nature of the saplings to quake in the winds; hesitant, learning to hold their own places. But, the older trees, with their years of testing and being tested, they are the ones who, whether in the long stern winds or misty gales, sway the most. Less a bouquet of tentative trembling first-time buds, now much more the leaf-perfumed hips of a hundred wide women dancing-these old ones, regardless of form, sway, by heart, to the music that thunders through them." -Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD The Body, Your Valiant Consort "Each one of us is a triumvirate being-at once the union of body, soul, and all that lies within." For any who experience disharmony amongst these three vital aspects, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés reveals a pathway back to wholeness. Join her with The Joyous Body for the third volume of her masterwork on the Wise Woman archetype.

It is our first responder," teaches Dr. Estés, "in order for us to not only survive but to thrive in the world."
