The History and Meaning of the Iconic Grateful Dead Bears - Extra Chill |
Tonight, we’ll explore The Woman Who Married a Bear [i.e., who had sexual relations with an ogre, yaksha, rakshasa, wild-bear-man or Yeti, Sasquatch, Bigfoot], an ancient tale told in cultures around the world, about a young woman who lives with her family near snow-capped mountains [the home of yetis and yeren "wildmen" in Chinese] at the edge of the known world [such as Nepal/Bhutan/Tibet].

We are not separate. The Archetype of the Animal-Human-Divine [tiracchana-manusya-deva] is often symbolized as world creator in creation mythologies.
This ever-present wisdom of our shapeshifting creative animal [base or instinctive] selves seeks integration and expression.
Carl Jung discovered that living on the edge of his known world brought Big Dreams and visions, which led in time to the discovery of his life’s work.
Let’s bring our bear dreams to share and hold sacred. What heals and guides the individual self or soul can also heal and guide our world. Dream, Myth, and the World of Inter-being, Thursday, June 30, 2022, 7:00 PM | Meetup
