Facing the World with Soul

Picture
Join us for this exploration into Facing the World with Soul as we work together to uncover meaningful ways of cultivating a robust presence in our trembling world.                                        

                                                 “The world and the gods are dead or alive according to the condition of our souls.”
                                                                                                                                          ~ James Hillman

We are living in anxious times. Uncertainty has come into our homes and found its way into each of our lives. What was once stable and familiar, has been shaken and we have entered a steep descent into the unknown. Daily, we receive news of the latest frightening climate report, of violations to our human and more-than-human kin, the lingering pandemic, and tragedies in all parts of the world. Our psyches are inundated. The scale of suffering and loss is hard for us to comprehend as individuals. What can we do to stay present and open to our lives and to the world?

The condition of our souls does matter. It is the soul that offers us a deeper ground, one rooted in community, beauty, imagination, myth, ritual, the ancestors, and the sacred. These are foundational practices that provide ballast in the midst of the storm. It is through an ongoing engagement with matters central to the soul, that our lives are fortified and strengthened. Sustained attention and the courage to live fully, allow the moods and longings of the soul to connect us to the deep stream of the sacred.

The weekly structure will include core teachings, instructions in multiple practices, poetry, small group work, homework to vitalize the material between sessions, and an invitation to share your experience with others in the course.
