LEANING INTO YOUR SOUL'S CALLING—Fireside Talk
Recorded on Dec 31, 2020. (30 mins)
FROM SORROW TO SOUL: FINDING MEANING IN A TIME OF LOSS
This panel discussion sought to offer inspiration and guidance for holding and navigating the collective crisis.
Featuring:
Psychotherapist & Author, Francis Weller
Jungian Analyst & Senior Climate Scientist, Jeffrey Kiehl
Educator and Depth psychology Alliance Director, James Newell
Soul-centered Coach, Coach trainer, and Depth Alliance Founder, Bonnie Bright.
Sorrow comes from Old English: “grief, regret, trouble, care, pain, anxiety.” 2020 has certainly bought its share of these. Best-selling writer of Care of the Soul, Thomas Moore, writes, “Such a time pushes you to the edge of what is familiar and reliable, stretching your imagination.” Robert Romanyshyn, the author of the Soul in Grief, suggests that grief, if it is endured, can restore to us a sense of the sacred and the holy.”This panel engages in the discussion of how we can work through these difficult emotions and allow the soul to express its deepest meaning.

Written & REad by bonnie bright PhD
Shamanic Initiation, Descent, and learning through Direct Experience of the Sacred.
A common and compelling component of both shamanism and Jungian or Depth psychology is that each seeks to treat Soul loss by retrieving and reintegrating vital essence that is missing.
