The Sacred Speaks
Join depth psychotherapist and Jungian scholar, John Price, in an exploration of extraordinary stories and phenomena that lurk beneath the surface of normal and everyday life. Listen in as John interviews experts, dilettantes, sinners, and saints to explore their professional and personal perspective on the underlying purpose of the mysteries which lurk within the seemingly mundane nature of day-to-day life. John received his Master’s degree in clinical psychology and his Doctorate degree in Jungian psychology. He is in private practice and is also on the faculty of The Jung Center and The University of St. Thomas, both located in Houston, Texas. He lectures and teaches classes in subjects ranging from Parenting and Consciousness to Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll. This podcast seeks to accept a challenge laid out by Carl Jung: to explore the universal human feelings of emotional incompleteness, spiritual curiosity and one’s related search for wholeness and meaning. Interviews commence with the belief that, by engaging in this exploration, we can learn more about the psyche, consciousness, spirituality, philosophy and the profound, though often hidden, meaning of the day-to-day lives we lead (or which will lead us, if we aren’t watchful).Come along as John follows people into bars, universities, places of worship, financial districts and the home. He finds each context equally able to provide a setting for this worthy search and also that, through this process, we have an opportunity to come to know each other and ourselves much more deeply.

106: Lisa Marchiano - The Vital Spark: Reclaim Your Outlaw Feminine Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire
Interview begins @ 4:08
In episode 106 of "The Sacred Speaks" podcast, John and guest Lisa Marchiano dive into the complex realms of anger, manipulation, rage, and their inherent values for the feminine in our conversation as we discuss her book, The Vital Spark: Reclaim Your Outlaw Feminine Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire. Our conversation starts with a focus on the feminine wisdom tradition, contrasting the masculine and feminine as psychological principles. These principles are hard to define precisely, and it's essential to clarify our terms to truly understand them.
We discuss the narrative of Lilith from Jewish lore, representing empowered women challenging norms, and how this ties into Lisa's book-writing journey and the theme of claiming authority. The episode delves into archetypes, Freudian and Jungian developmental theories, and the impact of family systems on our psyche.
Key topics include the concept of a 'worthy opponent' in various relationships, encouraging full self-expression, and the nuances of gender dynamics in sexuality. We also cover the significance of fairy tales in representing universal psychological patterns and the shadow aspect of the feminine, with Lisa providing deep insights.
Join us in this insightful exploration of our inner selves and the psychological principles that influence our lives on "The Sacred Speaks."
