Broken-hearted, lost in a labyrinth, encountering angels
PSYCHOLOGICAL LIFE begins in the imagination. That’s one reason I have a sign in my office, dangling from the mantel, that asks clients if they have a dream to share or if something unusual happened since their last session.The latter — odd, sometimes surreal experiences — often communicate at great depth what is going…See More

Publishing dissertation
I'm interested to know if anyone here has published a doctoral dissertation or thought about it. I was approached about doing it by two publishers when I finished mine, but my attitude has been that I would rather be set on fire than ever look at the thing again.Now, I've received another inquiry about publishing it. Since I'm trying to rebuild my practice after letting it all but disappear, I'm thinking it might be to my advantage to publish it in the interest of establishing credibility. But…See More

Free (intensive) mythology class
I am curious if anyone has taken one of the free classes offered by Coursera. If you don't know about it, they are taught by some really noted professors, sponsored by some leading universities.I enrolled in one in Greek and Roman Mythology that begins Monday, April 22. It's 10 weeks and requires a lot of reading, videos, and forum discussion. Apparently, thousands of people -- well, the instructor says tens of thousands -- have enrolled, which is pretty mind-blowing.Check it out here:…See More

Remembering the brilliant, cantankerous, imperfect James Hillman

I've written a pretty lengthy post on my personal blog, Sacred Disorder (linked below), about my struggle with James Hillman's work and my encounters with him during my years at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Here's the opening:

Dorene Mahoney said… Cliff, welcome to The Twilight Zone and Encountering the Numinous! I checked out your site and look forward to having you share your thoughts on the different issues that surface in these groups. Also, feel free to launch a thread on one or more issues of particular interest to you. Fresh voices are always welcome.
I am a business coach, but I too use depth methods to help my clients reconnect with their deeper selves and move through blocks. In fact, my work today is very much influenced by my master's thesis which was entitled, "Images of Individuation: Using Collage to Inquire into the Nature of Disquiet." It was an amazing study and really changed my life as a business woman. That project focused on collage, but one could use drawing, or clay, or active imagination, or any number of non-rational methods to access what is outside of conscious thought for an individual. I will enjoy following your work.
