Historias que son medicina: Stories are medicine
Published by Toby Coop March 21st, 2006 in Uncategorized, StoriesUnfrozenmind was drawn from the inspiration and work of Clarissa Pinkola Estes, the author of the runaway best seller ‘Women Who Run With The Wolves.’ Clarissa is an award winning poet, senior Jungian psychoanalyst, and a cantadora (keeper of the old stories in the Latina tradition).
“To my mind, story, in every way possible, thrives only on hard work - intellectual, spiritual, familial, physical, and integral. It never comes easy. It is never just ‘picked up’, or studied in one’s ‘off times’. Its essence cannot be born nor maintained in air-conditioned comfort, it cannot grow to any depth in an enthusiastic but non-committed mind, neither can it live in gregarious but shallow environments. Story cannot be studied. It is learned through assimilation, through living in its proximity with those who know it, live it, and teach it… I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you, and that you will work with these stories from your life - your life, not someone elses life - water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom. That is the work. The only work.”
The job of Unfrozenmind is to be the cantadora - the keeper of stories of the business world.
