Praise for Journey to Joy This fairy tale is such good, strong, wise, and delicious medicine! I love the psychologically astute and resonant vibration of it. This is a story for the ages. Of all Christine’s works that I absolutely adore, this is now my favorite. All of it makes my heart sing with recognition. The magic of sharing and generosity as greed’s transmutation. --Carmen Acevedo Butcher, PhD, Author and Translator of several mystical texts I absolutely love this fairy tale. It resonated deeply with my own experience of healing, bringing in so many strands such as chronic health issues, the role of animals and nature in recovery, the power of journaling and blessing and many, many more. As a therapist and spiritual accompanier, I will be keeping copies to share with clients and friends. --Polly Paton-Brown, MA, Soul Care Practitioner This story shares the transformative travels of its heroine, Sophia, and enchants the reader along the way. Populated with healing herbs, wise women and animal allies, we follow Sophia’s journey to reclaim a lost part of her soul. Her story reminds us of what is essential to our humanity- the recognition of soul loss and the knowledge of how to retrieve it. In this wonderful fairy-tale, the powers of women, nature and kinship weave together, to birth Sophia a-new. We are reminded that if we dare to walk through these life thresholds, we may encounter our demons, yet discover them to be angels on the other side. -- Aisling Richmond, MA, Somatic Therapist and Soul Guide
