Abstract

This paper explores caring as an archetypal act. The great archetypal myth of the hero’s journey, considered in light of the great stories of feminine archetypes, provides a framework for understanding the relationship between calling, character, and caring. Excerpts from the personal narratives of contemporary female healers, as explored in a qualitative research study, reveal how caring can be understood as an enactment of an archetypal reality.
