This month, Jung in the World is presenting a weekly series on Marion Woodman, Canadian mythopoetic author, poet, Jungian Analyst, and women’s movement figure.
In this episode, Patricia Martin talks with author Elaine Mansfield about her years-long relationship with Marion Woodman that began with a workshop. As a nutritionist and women’s health counselor for 25 years, Mansfield sheds light on Woodman’s approach to teaching as more like a transmission- a living experience- that transforms a person, body and soul.

Elaine facilitates bereavement support groups for people who have lost spouses or partners at Hospicare and Palliative Care of Tompkins County in Ithaca, NY and writes for the Hospicare newsletter and website.
She lives on 71 acres of woods, fields, and sunset views bordering the Finger Lakes National Forest in upstate NY where she moved with her family in 1972.
