About

We all encounter grief, fear, trauma, shame, pain. These human difficulties are not just problems to be solved; they are sacred portals that offer the possibility of deepening our connection with who we are, of entering wholeheartedly into our soul’s path. They are friends to be made in the process of finding compassion and acceptance for ourselves, rather than symptoms to be eliminated in a continual drive to change, fix, improve. In the Jungian tradition, the vehicle for this process is the heart, engaged in therapeutic relationship, in spiritual cultivation, in dreams.
