E54: Thea Euryphaessa

My guest today is Thea Euryphaessa, who is a writer, interested in personal growth, depth psychology, reconnecting with the body, Alchemy, and the hero's Journey. Thea is the author of Running into Myself and Growing into MySelf. In these books she explores her own personal journey as a woman in the modern world, seeking her soul's depths and cultivating a joyful, sensual, loving relationship with her body. She’s an inspiring thinker and doer, who has been through her own dark nights and traveled her own hero's journey, and come back with a boon from which we all can benefit.
