LIVE ONLINE PROGRAM AT THE KOSMOS INSTITUTE
THE SOUL’S CODE: CALLING AND ITS NECESSARY ANGELS
October 9 – 30, 2025
In his bestselling book The Soul’s Code: In Search of Character and Calling, archetypal psychologist James Hillman declared: ‘Each person enters the world called.’ Each of us, in other words, has a ‘calling’: we came into the world – to this particular place, at this particular time – for a reason.
In this four-week program, we’ll delve deeply into the concept of calling, and work with ways of revealing and remembering what it is that we’re here for. To express our calling is to allow ourselves to uniquely express one mode of being, one unique way of embodying what it is to be human, one facet of the creative life force of the universe. How might we uncover the unique gift that we each bring to the world at this time?
ONLINE GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM AT PACIFICA GRADUATE INSTITUTE
finding ourselves in fairy tales: a narrative psychological approach
This program will run again from March 12, 2025
This 8-month graduate certificate program (which offers Continuing Education Credits) offers an archetypal approach to understanding and working with fairy tales. We’ll be guided by ideas and practices from the field of narrative psychology, and we’ll excavate fairy tales to interrogate our self-narratives, identify problem-saturated stories and then learn to rewrite them so that we can more fully participate in the process of our own becoming. We’ll use the Fairy-tale Heroine’s Journey as a framework for exploring the archetypal feminine in fairy tales and the ways in which these stories can illuminate the process of individuation.
