*”Trauma and Transcendence: Depth Psychology, Spirituality and the Sacred”
This month I will be traveling to Pacifica Graduate Institute inSanta Barbara to explore the intimate relationship among spiritual, paranormal, or otherwise revelatory encounters, and the psychological fragmentation caused by trauma and dissociation. I hope to bring a deepened sense of this complex phenomena back to both my clinical and community based work.

These are fun, family friendly “jams” designed to find a groove, share food, laugh, release tensions and visit with old friends. Everyone is also invited to bring their arts and crafts items to barter or sell. Please bring a drum if you have one and food to share. No charge. See Blog Post for Details.
