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 …

Do you you have a love of maps and history? Are you interested in the environment through an historical lens? Often we are taught subjects as self-contained disciplines, but in reality there are many natural forces which effect an historical event, such as plagues, landforms, climate, wind and ocean currents. This group isn't about reciting dates or capitals--we explore people, places and events and the the way the natural world has affected history and vice versa. It's really amazing stuff!

This is a group for studying Jane Loevinger's ego development theory. We'll get our hands on the material below, we'll work through it a little bit at a time, wrestle with it, and maybe we'll do something interesting with it. And we'll collect people as we go along, get to know each other, and talk about lots of random, interesting stuff along the way. Lots of you will find this through Ken Wilber's writing, Spiral Dynamics, etc., and lots of you will have some sort of spiritual practice. But, n …
