A session on steps for getting to know the presence of people’s particular places: where they live or work, how the presence there shows up in dreams etc.? Place is a kind of outer unconscious for us to explore.

C. G. Jung behaved as though the things of the world around him - everyday objects, houses, landscapes - were presences that addressed us continually. “Hence at bottom,” Jung wrote in Man and His Symbols, "the psyche is simply ‘world.’" Terrapsychology follows up on this idea by offering tools for tracing how our possessions, homes, surroundings, and planet show up inside us as complexes, dream figures, moods, and new ideas, and how certain myths seem to favor certain locales.
