Note: **This is an update from the original copy. After what seems like some confusion as to how "sexuality" is defined, I thought I would refer to the American Psychological Association's definition: "Sexuality is a broad area of study related to an individual's sex, gender identity and expression, and sexual orientation. It also includes the effect of prejudice and discrimination based on the aforementioned topics, as well as sexual disorders". There's a plethora of topics and issues to cons …

This group will gather monthly (we hope) to discuss archetypal, imaginal and spiritual psychology. These discussions will include considerations of published works, videos and blogs by post-Jungian thinkers like Robert Sardello, James Hillman, Mary Watkins, Paul Kugler, and Stephen Simmer, among many others. Central to this multivariant movement is an attempt to rethink psyche as soul. The main influence on the development of archetypal, imaginal and archetypal psychology is Carl Jung's analytic …

THE DIAMOND APPROACH® -  The Diamond Approach is a path of spiritual realization characterized by sincere inquiry into one’s experience, fueled by the love of truth. The immediate contact with the truth of our experience allows the unfoldment of our soul to reach increasingly deeper levels of truth, each level a valid expression and display of the deepest Truth. The fruition of this path is not simply the realization of this depth, but the actualization of True Nature in all its various dimensio …

This is a group about potentiating and living from our Desire or Life Force. It's for people who are aching to show up Bigger, to ignite and stoke the Inner Fire, to become more fully alive and impactful in the world. Unfortunately, in some spiritual traditions, we're taught to temper this runaway force of Eros rather than to harness it for creation. Life (even spiritual life!) is a Full Throttle Ride. We’re not here to soft-peddle some half-ascetic version of The Middle Way. We're here to let o …
