Alchemy Stack
I've really resisted posting some of my other collections outside the realm of psychotherapy, though far from unrelated.
I've decided to start posting more stacks of interrelated studies, maybe moving toward individual posts of these. So much to post, so little time. I'm still reading feverishly, but the faustian in me has begun to tire!
Time to slow down so as to break prior to hitting the actual books in doctoral gear. My zen has been working with wood, wax, resin and other formulations a la soma. I've successfully completed my year long internship at my clinical site and have decided to stay a little longer to stay with my current groups and clients, while I approach graduation in May. This will be a nodal year, everything begins for me following this spring. I'm just stirring the gestation of the necessary transcendent to come; currently experiencing some valuable archetypal transmuting.
This year has changed me completely. I have met an amazing group of people and a few who I will have the blessing of knowing and working with for a very long time. I can't explain the progress made, but the depth of my clients' hard work and the refreshing dedication to soul embodied by my coworkers has cultivated an entirely different definition of hope in the great work. We're out here doing the work, lots of us!
