In the second half of life, when we can no longer ignore our mortality and aging body, the task to create meaning for what remains of our life becomes more urgent. Ancient cultures did not postpone this task until old age.

For many of us, old religious symbols and rituals that once provided a collective container are no longer alive and nourishing. We keep looking for something to grasp and hold onto to feel safe in the turbulence of life. It is essential for each one of us to discover living symbols to help us navigate the vicissitudes of life and our individual passage into death. Symbols try to emerge into being, but often we don’t recognize their meaning and ignore them, thus blocking the stream of psychic life.

This workshop helps you recognize such images as their arise. I will help you trust the creative forces that are within you already so you can reflect on a vessel that can most deeply nurture your becoming.
