About this listen

The Late Bloomer is the fourth volume of the Dangerous Old Woman Series with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

"What makes talent bloom? Ask what makes a tree blossom. They are the same. It is not unfathomable. It only takes concentration. Concentration of energies is what makes a tree flower. Not bigger, not faster, not taking up more space. Rather, less space. Density. Pressure in hard places. Often, in the dark. Relentlessly. Freely. For as long as it takes. Hold faith, a gestation can go long and for good reason, and nothing much shows above ground. But then, one day..." - Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD

Are you waiting for New Life, for your talents to bloom? With The Late Bloomer, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes presents volume four of her masterwork on the Wise Woman archetype, bringing you six sessions of origial tales, stories from her ethnic families, poems, blessings, and psychological commentary exploring the cycles of "burgeoning, blooming New Life."

My first book I ever purchased and read was Clarissas first book, Women who dance with Wolves. It was spirit evoking and life changing.
Until I heard this audio version, I now get a much more exciting and richer vision of life. As Clarissa not only an authentic writer, she narrates her work with so much love and passion .
I got so much out of this book, I will be getting all the audio books I can. Truly inspiring. Truly a must read for any woman or man , girl or boy. The stories are profound and liberating . Thankyou Clarissa with love.
