Taped Lectures and Workshops

For those unable to attend Dr. Young's talks and workshops, taped recordings of his most popular talks and workshops are available.

The Lady and the Fountain - A Quest for the Holy Grail This is an exploration of the images of the inner quest and how we are each seekers after meaning in life. The story from the Grail cycle tells of the Knight and the Lion who finds the magical fountain and meets the Goddess in an enchanted city. The account of the heroic journey offers guidance for our daily challenges and advice on how to find a larger sense of place and purpose.
The Talking Eggs / Princess and the Frog King (Two stories and commentaries on one tape) The Talking Eggs is a timeless folktale, a story of initiation and the longings of the soul. It offers useful ideas on getting through difficult experiences. The Princess and the Frog King is a tale of losing a divine treasure and what it takes to find it again. Both stories have practical insights into how to find the sacred in everyday life.
Robin Hood This is a meditation on the forest experience, the place of being in exile, and what we may find there. We consider the resources we may encounter to assist us in difficult times. As psychology, this tale deals with how to aide those inner energies that have been exploited but not given honor. There are times when we want to bring our inner lives back to balance. This story offers help in how to recover from a period of disorder.
