Explore the mystery of soul as it reveals itself in four dimensions.
The Inner World of the Psyche
- Here we meet the archetypes within us that inform our inner journey; the Anima and Animus, the Shadow, and the Self, along with parts of the personality. This dimension creates the images which guide us in our symbolic and dream life and also includes passages and transitions that bring new life and order to the psyche.
The World of the Unfolding Soul
- The divine seed, impulse or inheritance which is alive within the soul and seeks manifestation. Here the divine qualities unfold in our personality and life journey, moving from potentiality to realization and fulfillment in the world.
The Soul of the World
- This dimension encompasses the divine immanence in the natural world, which include the souls of place, tradition, indigenous ,peoples along with the myths and rituals which unify a community and infuse life with soul.
The Home of the Soul
- The opposite of the unfolding soul, here there is a deep call and longing to return or retreat to the Source where one remembers the origin of the soul. In this state of transcendent soul, one is born again and healed from the struggle and demands of life.
