Descansos from Women Who Run with the Wolves
08/18
19835 Descansos from Women Who Run with the Wolves
Based on the book, Women Who Run With the Wolves, by Jungian analyst, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Dr. Cornish will read aloud a brief passage in the book, entitled Descansos - which are resting places." Often you see them as little white crosses (or elaborately decorated ones) by the roadway. Estes writes, "Descansos are symbols that mark a death. Right there, right on that spot, someone's journey in life halted unexpectedly. There has been a car accident, or someone was walking along the road and died of heat exhaustion, or a fight took place there. Something happened there that altered that person's life and the lives of other persons forever." Not only physically, but also in the psyche, many of us have hopes and dreams that have been cut off as well. All of this is grist for the mill of descansos. Using butcher paper, time lines, the olfactory and auditory senses, Dr. Cornish will guide students to perform a cathartic, transformative self-exploration exercise. Students will identify aspects of their lives in which they were "on their way to somewhere, but never arrived.""
