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 …

We'll discuss each other's work, we'll talk about what works and what doesn't, and we'll give each other encouragement and advice where appropriate. …
