  • This video essay explores the Norwegian fairy tale called The White Bear King Valemon. This tale is best told by the poet Robert Bly and asks important questions about the nature of our lives. Where are we going? What matters most? What are we willing to sacrifice in the service of the Self?

    This is the story of Orpheus as well, who looks behind him to make sure his love is behind him in the last moments before leaving Hades, so loses her. Lot as well

    This is brilliant. As a trainee transpersonal therapist. Your website is a gift to me. Are there any books you would recommend to find more of these treasures? Thank you.

      Thanks so much for the feedback!! There are so many books out there that I don't where to begin. Start with Robert A. Johnson's books (He, She, We) as they are very easy to digest volumes on these themes. After you've done with him, Robert Bly's books are great guides as well. Of course, there is also the work of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell but Johnson and Bly are masters at analyzing these simple tales. I am thinking of doing a podcast where I examine one book per week from my library so that people can follow the threads that most appeal to them.
