Maureen Murdock is a licensed family therapist in private practice in Venice, California, and teaches in the UCLA Extension Writer's Program. She is also the internationally published author of The Heroine's Journey, Spinning Inward, and Fathers' Daughters. The Heroine's Journey Workbook grew out of her work with women in therapy and workshops conducted throughout North America over the past twenty years.
"Though the book is rich with examples drawn from myths and Jungian
psychology, it is surprisingly easy to read. The journey requires
serious, often frightening, wandering before one's true identity
and power are known. Like the journey Murdock describes, there are
no cheap, easy lessons. There are many rich, rewarding lessons, but
these are gained only through integrity, courage, and the
willingness to meet challenge with all the resources one can
muster."—Creation
"Murdock's personal journey will surely speak to many women, but I
hope also to those men willing to hear these newly awakened female
voices—and of the feminine in their own souls."—Utne Reader
"Combining personal experience and painstaking erudition, Maureen
Murdock's The Heroine's Journey shares with us the essence of the
female journey. A fine, warm, and insightful book."—Carol Pearson,
author of The Hero Within: Six Archetypes We Live By
"The Heroine's Journey offers a map of the feminine healing
process. Murdock writes in a clear and compassionate voice which
draws inspiration from her experiences as a mother, artist, and
therapist and from the collective wisdom of the community of women
on the path of the goddess. This book speaks to each woman who
longs for a spiritually alive feminine self, one who is actively
engaged in the world, and who embraces the masculine principle as a
mirror of herself. The Heroine's Journey guides the reader in
reweaving the threads of her life story into a mantle of
empowerment for herself, for other women, and for Gaia, the Planet
Herself."—Patrice Wynne, author of The Womanspirit Sourcebook and
co-founder of the Gaia Bookstore and Catalogue Company
"Maureen Murdock's important book on the heroine's journey contains
a wealth of insight that is of great value to contemporary Western
women. It explores a rich territory of the feminine psyche and
opens an understanding of female development that relates not only
to personal transformation but cultural transformation as
well."—Joan Halifax, President of the Ojai Foundation
"A great roadmap for the changing landscapes of women's lives. It's
assuring, rich in personal stories, and leads us securely to the
Goddess."—Z. Budapest, author of The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries
and The Grandmother of Time
