You Will Learn How:

  • The path of the wounded healer inevitably leads to the deep self and soul within us.

  • Our wounds and gifts reside in the same place. Each time we touch our wounds, we are closer to our own gifts.

  • Recognizing that our personal wound is also archetypal in nature changes the nature of our suffering.

  • In facing and going through our traumatic experience, we find the parts of ourselves that are not wounded.

  • The healing path is also the primary way to become more truly conscious and more genuinely purposeful in our lives.

Course Overview

  • As accepted patterns dissolve and uncertainty grows, we become more vulnerable to feelings of insecurity, anxiety and fear. While the rational mind reels from the irrational blows, it becomes necessary to find a sense of wholeness within ourselves.

  • Ancient stories depict how each person born carries a precise medicine in their soul. In order to find and activate the inner medicine we need to face and even embrace our inner wounds. Our psychic wounds secretly connect us to the transcendent function in the soul, so that what wounds us also initiates and transforms us. In that sense, the inner wound can be seen as a womb. In going through the wound we become reborn as an initiate on the path of healing.

  • Myths of the wounded healer are key for understanding the nature of healing and how we find the inner light of our soul and the hidden ground of unity. No better time than the divided times in which we live for seeking the guiding, healing power of the deep self and soul. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable we become more open and a deeper wisdom can come to us and live through us. Each act of healing our inner splits contributes to the healing of our divided world.
