Welcome to this exploration of the relationship between Music and Psyche. This kinship connection has been a long-held fascination of mine and I feel that the experience of being “in music” feels a lot like being “in a dream.” The relationship between musicking and dreaming has informed how I hear and experience the world. Music is a territory or location for psycho-spiritual development, which transcends language, offering us a chance to hear what cannot yet be seen within ourselves. Music is a waking dream with a soundtrack and I’ve found it to be a rich realm for deeply contemplative practice.
After working psychotherapeutically with hundreds of patients, families and groups, sharing music with audiences around the world and my own eventual formulation of Archetypal Music
Psychotherapy, my passion for this enigmatic alchemical relationship between Music and Psyche still burns as bright as ever, and I’m thrilled that you’re considering joining us in this exploration.
