Seattle Jung Society in April: DREAMING OF ANIMALS
See www.jungseattle.org for registration info

Friday night lecture: Dogs, Deer, Bears, and Birds

We’ll begin with their rich cultural histories, revealing the ecological and psychological importance of these popular animals. (Other archetypal animals will be discussed later in the weekend.)

Saturday workshop:

Animals show us what we need to do to heal ourselves and the Earth.

Our dreams, visions, thoughts, and actions determine our personal fates as well as the world’s. Because of the current threats to many animal species, let us look at how we think and feel about them, especially the wild ones. Some are likely more important to you than others – perhaps favorites from childhood or “power” animals. I will provide techniques (dream interpretation, written dialogues, some ritual and movement) for working with them on inner and outer levels. The aim will be to increase our appreciation for the unity of being, helping the Earth and empowering ourselves.

Pen and notebook needed. Also, if willing, bring a valued animal mask, feather or bone.

"The personal life deeply lived always extends into truths beyond itself." - Anais Nin

Private consulting also available on any topics, plus:


The Inner Lover - based on my book, The Inner Lover, Using Passion as a way to Self-empowerment. Love is an explosion of energy that if denied, repressed, or cut off results in the loss of passion and meaning in life. Exlore the transformative effects of love, regardless of the outcome in relationships. It is essential to see that the fantasies of love have a dual purpose. One is to instruct us about what is going on in a relationship, and the other is to release new creative forces in our soul. Techniques for journaling, dreamwork, and imaginal writing will be presented to show how to work with the inspiration of love.

Effective Business Writing Program - shows individuals how to write clear, focused, reader-friendly: letters, memos, emails, reports, proposals, manuals, resumes, sales and marketing materials. My aim is to reduce your paper work and get your message across quickly.

Writing Your Family History-From Start to Finish Topics include how to describe people, decide what to include or omit, handle sensitive areas, create drama, interview relatives, determine final form. This program is designed to help those who haven’t started, are overwhelmed, or want to publish.



"It is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow."
- Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
