Sitting by the Well

Bringing the Feminine to Consciousness Through Language, Dreams, and Metaphor

By: Marion Woodman

Narrated by: Marion Woodman

One symbol, perhaps above all others, holds a crucial significance for everyone in search of wholeness: the well. From the terrestrial world it leads down into darkness, to the treasure of pure feminine consciousness. We are each blessed with our own well, and from this source of salvation and eternal life, teaches Marion Woodman, we must "drink or die."
In Sitting by the Well, this acclaimed Jungian analyst and author uses dreams, symbols, and body imagery to reach into the shadows of the unconscious mind and cast light on our everyday lives. Here is a poetic culmination of Woodman's many years of work with the psychological impact of patriarchy on men's and women's lives—from distorted body image and addiction, to sexual trauma and relationships, to our ultimate connection with the Great Mother (matter) and Great Father (spirit).
Rare Lectures Collected for the First Time
On six archival recordings—each one digitally remastered for maximum clarity and comprehension—Marion Woodman unravels Carl Jung's core teachings about archetypes and the unconscious, and analyzes how dreams and metaphors provide powerful healing tools for the psyche. You will hear the evolution of Woodman's theories throughout the past decade, while vividly sharing her insights into what we each must do to open to spirit and find meaning in our suffering. For all of us interested in what Woodman calls "the language of our instincts," Sitting by the Well is a one-of-a-kind guide for learning it.
In her practice, Woodman has encountered many people who feel lost and out of touch with their bodies and their spirits. Where is the energy and imagery we need for nourishment? Join Marion Woodman and find your way to a wellspring for deeper guidance with Sitting by the Well.

Deep Truth spoken in Spirals

This book is crazy. It starts out as a poetic reflection on a bunch of disparate concepts.

Then BAM!!! It hits you. And you realize you’ve been guided to hear the wisdom of SOPHIA being channeled thru Marion Woodman.

Chapter 7 knocked me flat and opened my inner eye even wider. Holy moly.

If this book is calling to you, do not hesitate. When the time is right - on a global scale of rightness - you can listen to it.

I promise it has something wild in here, just waiting to be discovered.

Follow your muse. She came here to guide you.

namaste, Marion. And thank you!

I loved this book, first because it is about the inner world and the place of the soul in it. Secondly because the author is a women and has all atributes any woman need to keep going on the individuation path.
