Episode 123 — Every Hero’s Journey
The would-be hero first declines, then answers the call; he suffers tests and trials, succeeds with help from unexpected sources, and returns with the gifts of all he has learned.
Episode 122 — Covered: And Archetypal Take on the COVID Mask
Masks provide access to our shape-shifting potential, connect us to our instinctual depths, mediate our relationship to the spirits, and open a portal to the mythic realm of story and drama.
Episode 121 — Not Alone: Finding the Inner Companion
Every companion is an image of the inner Other, and is present whenever gifts of wisdom, care and guidance are received.
Creativity: Drawing from the Inner Well
The root of create, “to bring something into being out of nothing,” echoes divine creation.

Bonus Episode – On Becoming a Jungian Analyst
Many listeners have expressed interest in Jungian analytic training. We welcome those inquiries and outline the prerequisites, practicalities and processes which lead up to and constitute Jungian analytic training–a life path of ongoing growth, challenge and satisfaction.
Riots: When the Collective Catches Fire
How can we understand the psychological wild fire of rioting? Jung, who lived through two world wars, understood that mass movements had the power to manifest archetypal energy. The urge to unleash destructive chaos is depicted in mythologies around the world.
Episode 113 – LOCKDOWN: Decoding the Covid Complex
Oppressed, repressed and regressed, the forced restrictions of the Covid Complex have us in its grip. We may see friends and family more often than ever, but only on a screen.
