What I love most about Burning Bright is the wide range of healing modalities offered up. The author provides a blueprint for anyone wanting to find the roots of and heal their anxiety and burnout. Isn’t that all of us right now? From tea ceremonies to moon rituals, reiki and tapping, to sound healing and forest bathing, pick and choose what serves you. It’s really the perfect antidote to these unprecedented times.

By Clarissa Pinkola Estés,
PhD It’s not an easy read but a required read for women, young and old. This book is a classic in the world of feminist nonfiction and a sort of initiation into living a wild and untamed life–what all women are meant to live. It’s an invitation to embrace your intuition, take back your body, and live unapologetically. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés is just brilliant in the way she teaches with a mix of fairy tales and parables.
