The Millioneth Circle and the Juicy Crone
Jean Bolen
Southwest Ballroom
Feminism, Jungian psychology and Morphic Field Theory come together in the metaphor of the Millionth Circle, based on the intuitively grasped concept that when a critical number of people change how they think and act, that the culture will also. Crone qualities are those such as wisdom, compassion, healing humor and social action, which can be taken to heart and cultivated. The Crone is an active archetype in juicy women, exceptional men and the Cultural Creatives, who comprise a unique historical generation at a time when humanity is at a crossroad.
Learning Objectives:
- learn the concept of critical mass as a means of changing consciousness
- learn about the crone as an archetype, and
- discover the Millionth Circle as a concept
