New Year & You
As we move into the new zodiacal year, it is important for us to release the past & this course is designed to do this. Using self-reflection, storytelling, shadowplay, ritual & ceremony, we move together to remember, honor & release the past over the course of a recorded & live weekend. With daily sessions from Friday through Sunday, we embrace the past to move more fully into the present. All days are recorded & archived if you miss any.

A New year is a rite of passage into a new you
Cross the Threshold
The power of thresholds is that they mark our passage in a rebirth & transformation from one form & state of consciousness to another. Thresholds offer a magic ability to step outside of time to reach into the past to recover lost power & draw a line in the sand, allowing us to cross beyond & leave things behind in the past year.

Enter this new year with a gratitude for this new chance to create your dreams. [Live as if you were dying.]

What people are saying . . .
Its beautiful the language that you use. . . I really feel that you have made such a huge contribution to our souls, to our artistic creative selves. . . You have come in and created a furthering of neuropathways and pathways for us to look at the artist, the archetypal artist, and give us a place where we can have soul. I have great appreciation for what you have done with your dissertation. I would like to have a lot more Jungian work like this.
