Without meaning, even the most privileged life is empty. Soul-making or individuation usually seeks the meaning of life through attention to inner processes. However, some of our most profound instances of soul-making come through synchronistic experiences which express the same meaning both inwardly and outwardly, without one causing the other. This experiential workshop will deepen our understanding and experience of both synchronicity and soul-making. We will work toward a more powerful connection with the intelligence at the core of our being and a deeper understanding of its expression in our experience of synchronicity. We will clarify how this can offer insight into our soul’s intent, the relationship between synchronicity and paranormal phenomena, and how to cultivate receptivity to different expressions of the psyche. We will also address some of the pitfalls of synchronicity. Through case material, music, poetry, imaginal work, writing exercises, and group discussion, participants will explore the dimensions of both intellect and feeling in synchronicity and soul-making.
