Circle Time: A Book Club Podcast
Circle Time is a space where we share pieces of what we’re reading to scratch our English-class itch and get some personalized, in-depth recommendations from each other. We hope that by opening our circle to a wider audience we can inspire introspection, curious conversation, and of course, more reading in the world!
Circle Time: A Book Club Podcast
Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés; Chapter 12. Marking Territory: The Boundaries of Rage and Forgiveness
Michelle has deemed it the "woo woo" bible because this book has got ALL the wisdom about spiritual growth; shared through themes of nature, folktale and female archetypes. There will probably be many Circle Times on this book because there's so much to cover.
This episode continues the conversation on anger and forgiveness from our last two episodes. The book presents a surprisingly similar philosophy: forgiveness is for yourself, not so much for the one who did the harm. And according to Estés, there's a whole journey of forgiveness, with stops along the way. The only driving force is finding your inner peace.
