In every culture, in every age, the wise have observed that in the middle of our years, we encounter a series of great "thresholds" we must cross in order to fulfill the final stage of our destiny. "We are all born with a great dream for our lives," explains cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien, "a dream which may have been derailed along the way by family and career responsibilities or submerged by our own choices. In the second half of life, after your roots have gone deeply into the world, it is time to resurrect this dream."
On The Second Half of Life, Dr. Arrien introduces listeners to the Eight Gates of Initiation. Through images, poetry, and timeless metaphors from diverse world cultures, listeners will learn to understand their lessons and gifts, harvest the meaning and purpose of their lives, and come into spiritual maturity. Follow this gifted storyteller as she takes readers step by step through each gate to deepen the most valuable relationships, reclaim untended creative talents, and shift the focus from ambition to meaning to help readers grow into the magnificent elder they were meant to become.
