Are we enjoying the full shapes and functions of our bodies, and do we feel at home in our own skin? Join us as we explore the answers to these questions in the second part of a three-part series honoring Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ book, Women Who Run With The Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype.
In this episode, Leigh interviews two friends, Lukcy and Kate, about their favorite stories—“Sealskin, Soulskin” and “La Mariposa, Butterfly Woman.” Lukcy is a singer and songwriter who is working on a year-long, collaborative project to create original music with musicians in each state. We caught her as she was traveling through Alabama and were able to record her original song, “Easy Does it Now.” She talks about life on the road and what it's like having a home that is, like the Seal Maiden, contained in the soul rather in than physical, material objects.
In the second half of the show, Kate reads her poem “She” and discusses her yogic journey into being grounded and embodied, and how she is learning to reconnect with her body and break out of old patterns of judgement through daily meditation. Clarissa writes, “To confine the beauty and value of the body to anything less than this magnificence is to force the body to live without its rightful spirit, its rightful form, its right to exultation” (200). Kate and Leigh conclude that the body is equipped to heal if we can tune in and listen to its needs, and we are all meant to feel free and authentic in our true selves. Please join us!
