  • What Remains When All Is Taken: Standing in the LA Fires

    What Remains When All Is Taken: Standing in the LA Fires
    Jan 23 2025

    Fire strips everything away, leaving only what truly matters. In the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires, homes have become ash, familiar streets are unrecognizable, and life feels uncertain. But fire is not just destructive—it is also transformational.


    Pamela Power, a Los Angeles Jungian analyst and author, joins us to explore the tensions within this experience. Fire erases yet reveals. It devastates yet clears space for renewal. Loss forces us to let go yet also asks: What endures? Though grief pulls us down, something in us reaches toward life. The weight of ashes is real, but so is the quiet, unseen stirring of what comes next.

  • Feet, Fashion, and Freedom: Shoes as Symbols of Identity

    Feet, Fashion, and Freedom: Shoes as Symbols of Identity
    Jan 16 2025
    What do the choices we make about the things we carry and wear reveal about who we are and the paths we take in life? Shoes as Symbols connect identity, culture, and creative adaptation. Shoes reflect our movement through life and mark pivotal transitions, helping us hold the tension between vulnerability and agency. They appear in myths and stories as agents of change, signaling the emergence of a new attitude and facilitating its embodiment. The simple act of wearing shoes bridges the physical and psychological, grounding us while enabling exploration. Shoes communicate individual and collective identity, shaping and revealing roles in society. Tales, like Hans Christian Andersen’s The Red Shoes and Cinderella with her glass slippers, dramatize the tension between freedom and constraint, alienation and belonging. Exploring shoes in cultural narratives reveals their role in expressing and shaping psyche. Whether it’s the first tiny black patent leather shoes for a holiday or the first ski boots, their presence in childhood marks key moments of growth and self-discovery. Shoes empower us to adventure forward by protecting our vulnerable feet in innumerable styles that reflect the way we wish to be seen. Without realizing it, every step reveals where we’ve come from and where we are heading. Prepare to discover… what shoes signify about the evolving relationship between our inner selves and the outer world we traverse, how shoes function as symbols of the soul's journey, expressing shifts in identity and steps toward psychological integration, which stories use shoes to represent the critical thresholds of life, such as independence, power, and self-discovery, whether the symbolic act of wearing or discarding shoes reveals the psyche’s readiness for change or its resistance to transformation, why shoes, seemingly mundane objects, have become symbols of the human struggle for purpose, freedom, and meaning…and so much more.

  • Analyzing Our Childhood Dreams

    Analyzing Our Childhood Dreams
    Jan 9 2025

    What do our earliest dreams reveal about the hidden forces shaping our lives?

    Childhood dreams offer unmediated access to the collective unconscious, revealing symbols that shape lifelong development. These dreams often dramatize psyche's early encounters with polarities, fostering individuation through the integration of opposites. Nightmares and numinous imagery invite engagement with shadow and the sacred, acting as catalysts for growth and transformation. By revisiting childhood dreams through active imagination, individuals unlock their latent meanings. These dreams serve as both initiations into personal mythology and ongoing reservoirs of psychic energy, guiding the journey toward wholeness.

    Prepare to discover what early encounters with archetypal images reveal about psyche's relationship to the collective unconscious, how psyche uses symbolic opposites to foster growth and balance, which recurring symbols and universal patterns guide psychological transformation, whether unresolved experiences from early life hold latent potential, why numinous imagery provides a foundation for understanding life's deeper meanings…and so much more.
