What is calling you to explore this program at this time in your life?

Prompt reflection on whether they’re in a transitional, initiatory, or “dark night” phase and what inner or outer forces are driving them toward deeper work.

Have you experienced a significant life challenge, wound, or turning point that you feel holds the seed of your deeper purpose or genius? If so, briefly describe.

This surfaces readiness to explore the wound as the doorway to individuation.

What inner or outer obstacles do you feel are currently blocking the full expression of your unique genius?

This gets at awareness of shadow, complexes, or ongoing psychic patterns.

What modalities or symbolic systems (e.g., dreams, archetypes, active imagination, Enneagram, astrology) have you already worked with? What’s been most transformative?

Helps you gauge their symbolic literacy and psychological readiness for the material.

This is a sacred container for transformation. Are you willing to meet twice monthly for live group sessions, engage in creative and imaginal practices, and commit to a year-long journey of self and soul discovery?

Assesses readiness and willingness to commit to the depth of the work.

Break Free from Your Inner Prison and Plant the Seed of Your Essence

This is a transformational journey rooted in Jungian psychology, psychosynthesis, and symbolic traditions. Over 12 months, we will walk the path of individuation together, guided by fairy tales, archetypes, and the alchemical process of inner transformation.

This is not a course. It's a sacred container for profound inner work.
