Writing as Spiritual Practice

Naomi Ruth Lowinsky

Poets keep their ears to the ground of the changing myth; they are the instruments on which the gods play their music. It is the poets who can guide us in a ... Read more

“Testing the Spirits” – False Prophets and True Healers in the Old Age and in the New Age

David L. Miller

In its original context, the advice to test the “spirits” implies a warning about the many varieties of spirituality promoted in the second-century world, and it offers a warning against trusting every so-called “spirit” that advertises itself as healing. Discernment is necessary. But how can ... Read more

“My Name is Legion” – Archetypal Images of Spirit

David L. Miller
Feb, 17 2001
Some depth psychologists have avoided talk about the “spirit,” preferring instead to speak about soul.

This workshop will explore the varieties of “spiritual” ... Read more

Archetypal Manifestations in the Individuation Process

Erica Lorentz
May, 18 2001
“The body is merely the visibility of the soul, the psyche; and the soul is the psychological experience of the body. So it is really one and the same thing.” (Jung, Zarathustra Seminars, p. 355.) Individuation is a second half of life process when we consciously return to our personal unconscious and our archetypal roots. ... Read more

If we listen deeply ... Read more
