CREATION MYTHS AROUND THE WORLD

Carole Hallundbaek explores consciousness, Celtic standing stones, and creation myths from around the world with guest Carolyn North. She is the author of 11 books, most recently VOICES OUT OF STONE, with Natasha Hoffman and IN THE BEGINNING: Creation Myths from Around the World, with artist Adrienne Robinson. Carolyn works as a healer and uses movement and sound as her modalities to help balance the subtle energies of body, mind and spirit. She considers the balancing of energy in the individual person, in the community and in the world to be her work. Topics in this hour include: the sharing of creation myths around the world; the need for creation myths and the purpose they serve; North's readings from Algonquin, Mayan and Japanese creation stories; the similarities discovered as the authors gathered from diverse traditions, including the concept of creation from an original void or nothingness; the appearance and symbols of the divine in myth; eternity and the consciousness of time in creation story; Voices Out Of Stone, her latest book; the standing stones in Carnac, France; North's visits to the stones and the messages they bestowed for realignment and healing of our world; the meeting of her co-author who was drawn to the same journey and place; how they compiled their book; the earth-spirit consciousness; how her journey has influenced her work; more.
