Myths, Symbols, Stories

Bi-Cultural Vision

By: Angeles Arrien

Narrated by: Michael Toms

A Basque native, Arrien is at the forefront of those who see the common threads that unite us while honoring our differences. She speaks of the importance of myth and symbol in everyday life and combines the two disciplines of anthropology and psychology. Her cross-cultural approach provides both a universal and practical means of addressing health and well-being.

She has taught at the University of California, California Institute of Integral Studies, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, and the Alaya Institute, and is the founder of the Angeles Arrien Foundation for Cross-Cultural Education and Research. She is the author of numerous articles and books, including The Tarot Handbook (Arcus Publishers 1987), The Four-Fold Way: Walking the Paths of the Warrior, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary (HarperSanFrancisco 1993), The Nine Muses: A Mythological Path to Creativity (Tarcher/Putnam 2000), and The Second Half of Life: Opening the Eight Gates of Wisdom (Sounds True 2005).

Outdated, a little boring, but worth a listen

Some of the facts presented here are wrong or out of date, and the conversation is so subdued it almost put me to sleep. Overall decent, though.

wonderful time with a MASTER

I studied with her. This made her work live AGAIN. WORTH EVERY MOMENT. The production was first class, as was she.
