Publisher's Synopsis
Heartbreak can lead to depression and even despair or, alternatively, act as a profound initiation onto the path of Individuation. The author discovers a healing myth for not only herself, but for a heart- broken world in the love story of Dionysos and Ariadne.
Dionysos, one of the most misunderstood of the gods, is a masculine energy that brings us back to life and vitality in a way that includes deep partnership with the feminine. Through the exploration of this timeless myth, Alchemy of the Heart takes us on adventure into a world where the dance of masculine and feminine ignites fullness of being in both men and women. From the shadowy labyrinth of Minos to the sacred Initiation Chamber at Pompeii, Alchemy of the Heart travels the landscape of both the outer world and the inner psyche as it points the way past contemporary hedonism, pornography and addiction into a Dionysian world of joy, vibrant sexuality and spiritual transcendence.
