Looking for the REPLAY of Focus or Fire?—the post-election event by Kim Hermanson from Tuesday, November 15? Click here
This live community conversation will seek to hold space for the sharing of dreams and images in order to explore the role of community in uncertain times.
This event will be led by Depth Psychology Alliance board members, Eva Rider, MA, and Donna May, MA, both experienced therapists and dream workers. Emphasis will be on creating and maintaining a container for witnessing and holding what arises in this transformational work.
Note: In order to protect the container so participants can feel comfortable sharing, we do not currently plan to record this event for public replay. If you are interested but can not attend this event due to scheduling, please email us and we may consider hosting a similar event in the future at a different time.
This is a free gathering for those interested in sharing healing space together. Access information will be emailed to you upon registration.

A message of gratitude sent following our community gathering today--Eva Rider, Donna May, Bonnie Bright, and ALL who shared so Fully during our Community Conversation,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
The Circle that was Created with such Loving, Tender Care was by far one of the most Meaningful, Profound experiences that I have been called to attend.
I had tears well up many times during our gathering and the tears were rolllng down my face when I had to leave—and believe me I didn’t want to leave!
As I wrote, if at any time you need my help hosting another community gathering please let me know. An offer.
I”m filled with Grace. Our gathering will undoubtedly spill out into the World in ways imagined and as yet unimagined.
Lets continue to Imagine, Dream, Play, and Create Together!
With Love, Mary Alice
Creator of Play=Peace
this seems relevant - from George Monbiot in UK Guardian newspaper:
If there is an irrepressible human trait, it’s the determination, against all odds, to reconnect. Though governments seek to atomise and rule, we will keep finding ways to come together. Our social brains forbid any other outcome. They urge us to reach out, even when the world seems hostile.
