REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS: Uncovering the hidden teachings in European Mythology
I'm thrilled to offer you a recording of my interview with Liisa Korpela (www.liisakorpela.com) from Trailblazing Back to our Roots.

"I loved Stephanie and her great perspective on myth and stories, new to me and so inspiring! I never connected to myth because I did not trust the story, feeling it was manipulated, but I had never thought about what Stephanie explained and it did make so much sense.
