“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” – Carl Jung

Are you struggling with the division, chaos and seemingly senseless destruction we have been experiencing in the country in recent days?  We are adrift in a sea of archetypal energies that seem to be turning our world upside down.  Personal and cultural complexes are highly activated as the ideal of Democracy teeters on the brink of destruction. 

Renowned author, educator, and therapist Chelsea Wakefield will help us examine how we might find a “center that can hold” amidst this sea of change and investigate the archetypal energies that are stirring in the world, our communities, our families and our personal psyches.  Join us to reflect more deeply and examine how we might wisely discern the actions we are called to take.  

About the Presenter

Chelsea Wakefield, PhD, LCSW is a cherished, long-time Haden Institute presenter and a keen observer and healer of human interaction. She is an in-demand therapist, author, clinical educator, and the creator of The Luminous Woman® Weekend, an experiential retreat based on the work of Toni Wolff.

Chelsea offers paths to more robust life and love, guided by the inner compass of the deep Self. She is the author of three Jungian-oriented books, Negotiating the Inner Peace Treaty, an exploration of one’s “inner cast of characters” through dreamwork and shadow work; In Search of Aphrodite – an archetypal look at female sexuality through a Jungian lens; and the Labyrinth of Love: the Path to a Soulful Relationship, which outlines a process of personal and interpersonal work that will lead lovers into the rich rewards of conscious relationship.
