The Middle Passage

“The middle passage begins as a kind of tectonic pressure which builds from below. Like the plates of the earth which shift, rub against each other, and accrue pressure that erupts as earthquakes, so the planes of the personality collide. The acquired sense of self, with its assembled perceptions and complexes, it’s defense of the child within, begins to grate and grind against the greater SELF which seeks its own realization”
– James Hollis

Join me for a yearlong workshop exploring the middle passage, a period of profound transformation. Over twelve months, we will mindfully and patiently traverse this inevitable season of our evolution, with the intention of integrating a more expansive and wiser version of ourselves.

For many, the middle passage is an epoch marked by symbolic death and rebirth. For some, it arrives with great disruption: identity collapse, physiological rebellion, relational fracture, loss of meaning, confusion, the dissolution of long-held projections, existential anxiety, grief, and uncertainty. It is a call to action from the Soul, a moment of reckoning in which we face a choice to grow or to plateau. Together, we will approach this passage with intention, make the unconscious conscious, deepen our integration practices and initiate into the next phase of our journeys with greater wisdom and creativity.

This psycho-educational and experiential workshop weaves together transpersonal psychology (with a special emphasis on Jungian depth work), energy medicine, interpersonal neurobiology and spiritual wisdom. The yearlong format offers a supportive container for doing consistent inner work and releases the pressure to make sense of one of life's most complex and paradoxical times quickly. Space in the workshop is limited and applications will be prioritized in the order they are received.
