The Gift of Sorrow

from Authentic Living · host Andrea Mathews

No one wants to feel sorrow. It is the emotion we most avoid, for it makes us vulnerable to the onslaughts of deep emotional and psychic shifts. We live in a world in which the social pressures and rigid schedules of life forbid our sorrow. Yet sorrow changes us, allows us into the closets where we have hidden the authentic Self. Our guest today is going to talk to us about sorrow and how we might facilitate a deeper soulful journey through sorrow. Author of "The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief," Frances Weller is a Psychotherapist, writer and soul activist, who has founded "The Wisdom Bridge" to provide educational programs to bring together wisdom from indigenous cultures and the Western culture. His special gift is synthesizing and integrating psychology, anthropology, mythology, alchemy, indigenous cultures and poetic traditions. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the gift of sorrow.

This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
