WHEN A GODDESS ERUPTS: Pele in the Psyches of Women

When a Goddess Erupts explores the living mythology of Pele–where myth, nature, and the psyche intertwine in a timeless dance of creation, destruction, and renewal. This heartfelt and multilayered book is rooted in Hawaiian culture, firsthand experiences with Pele’s fiery eruptions, and decades of psychotherapy practice. Through masterful storytelling and rich illustrations, Dr. Freedle takes readers into her therapy room where images of Pele emerge during Sandplay Therapy to help her clients transform their lives–inspiring us to kindle our own inner fires.

No prior sandplay experience is required: the languages of archetype and image are universal.
