THE BOOK
What if the deep and dark places in life were valuable, transformative, and could be approached in more ways than we are taught to be possible?
Forged in Darkness explores the parallel between the inevitable darkness of life and the heroes and gods of the Greek underworld. Through myth, imagination, and Jungian psychology, readers are invited to revalue the underworld as a source of teaching and transformation.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Jungian psychology attends to the whole person—conscious and unconscious, body and mind, feeling and thinking, waking and dream, past and present, spirit and soul. Together, we’ll use symbols, dreams, imagination, and insight to explore ways to be influenced from within. In doing so, we aim to clear what is not essential to our nature so we can express ourselves more truly.
