She will place us under her mantle for refuge, and give us the warmth of her most compassionate touch, and strong guidance about how to go by the soul's lights." Untie the Strong Woman is Dr. Estes' invitation to come together under the shelter of The Mother - whether she appears to us as the Madonna, Our Lady of Guadalupe....

Chicken soup for the creative soul
Clarissa Pinkola Estes is the Malcolm Gladwell of Jungian theory, for good reason. Like Gladwell, she has extracted from a rich sea of theory a storyline that explains to us so much of our own experience, and validates so many hunches that lurk just below the radar, always niggling but never resolved. Although I find her narration corny at times, she's also a good story teller, and sets a delightful campfire-tales atmosphere. If Jungian archetypes resonate with you at all, you'll find a treasure trove in Estes. Creatives types, or anyone not fulfilled by culturally mainstream roles, will find powerful balm in her Theater of the Imagination series.

Grab a broom and sweep your imagination!
Would you consider the audio edition of Theatre of the Imagination, Volume 1 to be better than the print version?
Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a storyteller, a cantaora... Theatre of the Imagination is not a book narrated by the author, it is the wild way to transmit weapons for self knowledge.
What did you like best about this story?
Stories old and new came to life and that would have been enough, but wait, there is more! Theatre of the Imagination is a journey of self discovery that leads to consciousness, to a bigger life and is not for the faint of heart.
Have you listened to any of Clarissa Pinkola Estes’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was the first time I ever heard Clarissa Pinkola Estes and I was swept by her rich voice and mastery of the spoken word, plus she made me laugh!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Grab a broom and sweep your imagination!
Any additional comments?
I'm ready for the next journey...

A true story teller
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have recommended this book to many friends.
Have you listened to any of Clarissa Pinkola Estes’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I read "women who run with the wolves". Some of the stories are the same however there is added depth, and supporting stories that come with this reading.
Any additional comments?
I love to listen to her, she is really a great story teller.

Mesmerising journey through traditional stories
Where does Theatre of the Imagination, Volume 1 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is a wonderful listen, Clarissa's voice is wonderful to listen to and I will listen to this again. The stories and her commentary around them really kept me mesmerised. There is a lovely trail and connection between the stories which draws you through. And there is a wealth of sub-text and mythical imagery that means the stories are much more than just a few short stories.
Who was your favorite character and why?
This book has excited me about the power of story telling, archetypes and myth. There is a real clarity that comes from the way the stories are told and the connection they make with the listener. I will definitely be making further efforts to learn about story telling, archetypes and myth.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The story telling skills of Clarissa draw you in quickly, in re-telling each story she uses atmospheric music and her wonderful tone of voice to weave compelling tales and give insights into their origin and meaning.
Each story has a message that touches the listener and brings mythical meaning to light.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Nothing

If you could sum up Theatre of the Imagination, Volume 1 in three words, what would they be?
Heartfelt, fascinating and honest.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Theatre of the Imagination, Volume 1?
The bringing to life much of Dr Estes' written work which I have followed for many years.
Have you listened to any of Clarissa Pinkola Estes’s other performances? How does this one compare?
At 7 plus hours it lasts but still doesn't seem long enough, the sections fly by so fast you just never want it to end!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The chapter on the Ugly duckling moved me to tears because it felt as though she was reading it to me and me alone,
Any additional comments?
This book holds wisdom that can be heard on many levels. If you are a complete beginner through to a seasoned fan, there will be a lesson for all

Wonderful
I love this audible book. Many poems and stories that Clarissa Pinkola-Estes reads sends shivers all over my body. She brings me endless smiles, laughter and a sense of acceptance and of nurturing.

Step by step closer
Beautiful journey there and not necessarily back... the lift beyond, with the need to heal and the obligation to teach... once listened, one should never remain the same...

Gripping!
Through audio I found a new dimension to Dr E' s work. Listening to a live performance gave me new insights and I discovered Dr E' sense of humour woven into her gripping stories and anecdotes! This audio book has confirmed DR E s role as mentor in my life.

Real, moving, heart opening.
More ancient wisdom passed on humbly through fairy tales. The explanations of the keys to the stories guarantee to give you a kinder perspective on your own patterns. Enriching stuff.
