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?
