Overview

A guided meditative and psychodynamic practice for 100 consecutive days of individuation as a daily ethic, consciousness & ritual.

Inspired by the classic Taoist text The Secret of the Golden Flower, as translated by Richard Wilhelm with commentary by Carl Gustav Jung.

Join us for a one-hundred-day guided practice of the individuation as a daily ethic, ritual, and meditation. This practice includes and is inspired by the Taoist Microcosmic Orbit Meditation, as detailed in the text of The Secret of the Golden Flower. You will be guided in understanding and applying the Jungian ethic of individuation as a daily meditative, conscious, and ritualistic practice. Focus of the practice will be both on the contemplation of the Spirit (theoria) and the care of the Soul (therapeia).
