The Woman Who Married a Bear: Dream, Myth, and the World of Inter-being

Tonight, we’ll exploreThe Woman Who Married a Bear, an ancient tale told in cultures around the world, about a young woman who lives with her family near snow-capped mountains at the edge of the known world. Myths, dreams and visions visit all of us on the edges of the known world. It is the edges where our instinctive, archetypal, animal souls hold the grail of renewal. We are not separate. The Archetype of the Animal-Human-Divine is often symbolized as world creator in creation mythologies. This ever-present wisdom of our shapeshifting creative animal selves seeks integration and expression. Jung discovered that living on the edge of his known world brought Big Dreams and visions which led in time to the discovery of his life’s work. Let’s bring our Bear dreams to share and hold sacred. What heals and guides the individual soul can also heal and guide our world.
