Jungian analyst and storyteller Clarissa Pinkola Estes explains how to shed fear of death by understanding that the cycle of life, death, and life again are part of Nature and our own nature.

An internationally recognized scholar, award-winning poet, Diplomate senior Jungian psychoanalyst, and cantadora in the Latina tradition. Dr. Estés is also the author of "The Gift of Story" and "The Faithful Gardener."
