Drinking the Greene Lyon's Blood: Five Women Dream the Transformation of the Inner Masculine

A community of five women, meeting together for fourteen years to read C.G. Jung's Collected Works, was asked how their inner masculine transformed in the process of their personal growth. Each woman's dreams offered up unique imagery that illuminated shifts in their personal processes. Encompassing both birth and death, confronting aggressive and threatening masculine figures as well as being initiated in the world of embodied Eros by the Green Man, their stories will move you to both laughter and tears. While they speak in an intimate and down-to-earth manner about their inner and outer lives, their thoughtful understanding of the process of individuation enriches the meaningfulness of these essays. The importance of the new-found voice of the inner masculine for each is unmistakable. Subsequently each woman was able to make decisions and take action in self-supporting ways in important areas of her life. While the images in the dreams are unique and personal, their universal themes will inspire you to dream forward your own individuation into conscious recognition and action.
