In this online seminar, participants are invited into the hidden chamber where myth, wounding, and divine encounter converge. Through the lens of Jungian depth psychology, we explore C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces as an unveiling of individuation—a journey through the map of disability where the body’s limitation becomes the soul’s revelation. What if disability were not a deficit to overcome, but the very crucible through which the Self is born? Guided by Jung’s archetypes of the Wounded Healer, the Shadow, and the Self, we will uncover how Orual’s veil mirrors our own masks of control and how her eventual unveiling mirrors the sacred task of becoming whole.

Participants will engage a contemplative journaling practice—a transformative crucible where reflection, image, and imagination unite. This journal will be provided with the course.

Designed for therapists, clergy, and seekers alike, this course offers a mythopoetic approach to suffering, embodiment, and the divine image—inviting each participant to behold the wound not as exile, but as initiation.
