Foundations for Personal and Collective Healing
Why are relationships so challenging to maintain?
What are the root causes of social division and incivility?
What are the underpinnings of healthy relationships and what practical steps I can take?
How would deeper, more authentic relationships improve my quality of life and my contributions to the healing of the world?
If these questions interest you, please join us for an exploration of paradigm shifting ways of being and relating. While we all know the challenges inherent in interpersonal relationships and conflict, the evolutionary imperative—the necessity for our very survival—of more conscious, mature, and resilient relationships receives scant attention. Yet it seems clear that stepping into this challenge is required if we are to co-create a more beautiful world and truly thrive as individuals and communities.
This online series is for anyone who wants to realize their deepest longings for connection and belonging, while making their contributions to the healing of the world as transformational and sustainable as possible. In these six 90-minute sessions you’ll gain clarity on: the importance of mature human relationships in personal and collective healing, what your deepest relational longings are, what limits you and why, and practical steps for healing and empowerment.

The Insanity of Violence
I’ve been giving some thought to the indicators that industrial civilization is collapsing and that we are already witnessing the death throes. It seems obvious enough that a society built on the foundation of a worldview based on separateness is doomed to destroy...
The Great Turning
The Great Turning is my favorite way to describe the historical moment we find ourselves in. I first came across the phrase in the writing of Joanna Macy, who described it as the transition from the “industrial growth society” to a “life-sustaining society” (see...
Honoring the Dark
As the winter Solstice approaches, it’s time to honor the dark before turning toward the light. Time to honor the literal darkness, the cold, the slumbering earth. And the metaphorical darkness—the insanity and separation—of industrialized society. As Carl Jung said,...
