DISCERNING THE CURRENTS OF DESTINY: Personal and Archetypal Influences that Direct a Life

Saturday, April 16th

A Day With...

Michael Conforti 

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.         

- C.G. Jung.

If you sit by the ocean long enough you will see the ebbs and flows of the tides.  It may begin with low tide, where the water is moving out into the sea.  And then slack tide comes when the water seems to stand still, but this is just a prelude to high tide when the ocean comes rushing back into shore.  Each carries its own rhythms, patterns, and needs, and often takes anything in its path in and out with it.  

So, too, with a life that may have seen far too many tragedies and losses.   We know only too well the deeply etched, unconsciously patterned responses emerging from such experiences.  Accompanying even the most unimaginable losses is our destiny – a life waiting for us to breath into it ­– the life that is meant for us to experience.   This destiny factor exists for us in potentia, and carries with it the deep feeling that there is a life that we are meant to live.  The inability to live into this life carries a great sadness.

In this day-long seminar, we will discuss how we can recognize a life that is being carried along by these experiences and tides, and ways for  transitioning from a fated life to one  enriched by our own unique and destined future.
