In this presentation and discussion we will explore how the places where we live, the things of the world, and the world itself show up inside our complexes, moods, and dreams, and how internal dynamics reflect occurrences all around us.
Questions we will tend include: How can we transform eco-anxiety? Which myths and archetypes inhabit the places where we live and come from? How do they intertwine with our own deep story? What lost
Earth-honoring wisdom tradition now returns in collective consciousness? What insights does it offer today?
From this event you will receive tools for exploring the psychodynamics of your location, finding yourself deeply where you are, and understanding the tales that inhabited the land before you got there. Our journey will begin locally and move outward to the great globe itself.
