A poetic hour on film with Jung describing some of his basic discoveries and the primary significance and vitality of the inner world of the human soul. Images from Jung's own Red Book, recently published, are included along with symbolic imagery from many traditions and art forms. All combine to present in depth the role that the inner world, a force of nature, plays in healing,. more As a devoted student of the Goddess, I have used the avenue of anthropology to study the various forms which the Goddess has taken through the ages.

Have fun and look at your story through the magical lens of the fairy tale. Writing your own life as a fairy tale can be a unique and creative way to: look at your family and your context with eyes full of wonder, play with the power of the author to cast spells or break them, connect or re-connect to your life's task, be surprised by unknown aspects of who you are, see dynamics which may appear VERY familiar, and receive wisdom and guidance from the numinous world of archetypes. more
