The spirit of place is what enlivens and guides to exploration. It is a sense of needing to widen the space in which you move. The landscape is alive, animated. You want to look up to the sky, the clouds, the stars. The spirit of place is movement, quietness, curiosity, and safety. It is a movement towards and yet a presence in the here and now kindled by the physicality of the experience. The solidity of the earth beneath your feet and the vastness of the sky contain in quiet attention. When touched by the spirit of place you are at one and at ease being held by landscape and nature, feeling safely grounded, welcome to being here in this place, this geography, inner and outer, allowing a trusted authority from within.

Call 503 699 1664 If you are an analyst or therapist in training and would like to meet in Arizona, give me a call to find out when I am next available for consultation near Tucson.
Sunday May 28 1:00pm-2:30pm Dove Mountain, Tucson, Arizona. This is not therapy but a way to enrich your lives with the knowledge that the dreams you remember can impart. I will lead the participants in how to work with their own dreams. Please begin journaling your dreams by writing them down as soon as you awake and with all the detail that is remembered. Bring a copy to the workshop. We will not work with 'big' dreams. One way to stimulate dream recall is to notice impressions, physical sensations, and feelings at the moment of awakening and then journaling them. Call 503 699 1664 for exact location and questions.

For therapists only Time: 9:30-11:00 am, Wednesday, every 3 to 5 weeks Location: Near PCC Sylvania/Kruse Way exit Cost: $150 for 4 sessions due prior to start. Group may renew. Call 503 699 1664 Retirement. In our 50s, 60s, and 70s we stop the activities generating the income that shaped the life we enjoyed and occupied the days and weeks of adult life. The purpose that arranged how time was spent is gone. Towards the end of a career some look forward to stopping work while others struggle to stop. When we retire we can experience relief, even elation: the constraints of a schedule imposed by outside demands are gone. But after a few months, sometimes a year or so, feelings of purposelessness, anxiety, or depression emerge though we may have a busy schedule of volunteering and activities we had not had time to accomplish during our career life.
Though 'retiring' can be difficult, it also becomes an opportunity. Maybe it is difficult because it is not what we expected. The freedom of not being constrained and the busyness of a self-motivated schedule do not satisfy. We experience changes in physical energy and ability or we slow down. The question "what next?" emerges and refuses to be framed by previously held expectations or collective standards. In the course of therapy or consultation, together, we hold one eye open to the outside world and what is suggested by current research on self-care and resources in retirement. However, we close the other eye as in the Alaskan Inuit carving of a face with one eye open and one eye closed. The closed eye suggests we turn towards the inner life and trust that we can be guided by the values and meaning that emerge from a deeper ground of knowledge. 'In each of us there is another, whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves. When, therefore, we find ourselves in a difficult situation to which there is no solution, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude.' Jung in The Meaning of Psychology for Modern Man
