A Little Course in Human Shadow: Reclaiming the Gold PEPM021
In childhood – family, school, church and culture – help determine what is and is not acceptable and we tend to bury those aspects or qualities that don’t t our “New Year’s Resolution Self”. Jung called this our “shadow” comprised of repressed energies that stranglehold our true natures until we reclaim that lost (and unexpressed) vitality rather than project it onto others. Experience practices that give
glimpses into learning about shadow and begin the necessary befriending (reclaiming) process required for integration
and wholeness.

Mythopoetic Narratives: A Journey into the Imaginal Through Art-Making PEPM025
Mythopoetic approaches to art-making offer a perspective that drops into the deepest levels of psyche. Art-making, or simply making ‘marks’ on paper, takes you to an embodied place where spontaneous symbolic clues and hidden scripts of
the unconscious are revealed. Engaging these metaphoric gestures offers insight into the intent and direction that are guiding you beyond the intellectual or conceptual alone. This embodied, eco- phenomenological ‘soulful’ perspective creates a mythopoetic narrative that accompanies and informs the journey of soul and spirit.

Spiritual but Not Religious: Finding a Path of Meaning, Purpose and Union PEPM028
Over the past 10 years there has been an astronomical
rise in people claiming to be “spiritual but not religious” (SBNR), yet most people have only a super cial sense of what the phrase really means. This course explores the
history of the phenomenon
and accounts for its growing popularity, emphasizing its close relationship to our culture of individualism, and the mass desire for personal freedom and authenticity. We’ll consider the bene ts and limitations of this philosophical trend.

Your Genius is Calling:
The Courage to Be Who You Really Are
PEPM026
It takes conscious courage
to listen for what whispers to the soul especially within a culture that tends to denigrate the impulses of the deeper
self – intuition, feeling, sensing, instinct, imagination and dreams. It is perhaps the greatest loss to let these calls fall away, or worse yet, deny them entirely. Clear a space to bring your original blessings to bear, awaken to what initiates you toward life’s deeper purpose and your own true nature. Step onto your genuine (genius) path and then live to give it away.
