Do you spend too much time of your precious time in confusion and overwhelm? Do you have too many ideas happening at once? Do you sometimes know what you want, but you doubt it? What if you could enter a realm where you experienced your own clear knowing?
This quote from John O’Donohue beautifully describes the ancient heart wisdom that opens in Doorway Sessions: "Sometimes on a human journey a person can stay marooned on the surface of their minds, suffering the devastation of doubt, confusion and great turbulence, while the whole time just a couple of inches deeper, there was a vast world within them, a wonderful interiority, an eternity of great life and vision and memory and possibility, nesting in the deep clay of their hearts, that they never even knew was there."
The primal language of our deep clay hearts is metaphor. The power of metaphoric images is that they bypass the linear mind, fundamentally shifting our perceptions and outlook. Once we “step into” whatever metaphoric image presents itself, we often find that whatever was bothering us is gone. We are in a different space.
The theoretical foundation for Doorway Sessions was developed in the courses I taught at Pacifica Graduate Institute and Meridian University. But ever since receiving my PhD from the University of Chicago almost twenty years ago, I’ve known that my work is experiential. It’s about tapping into an “alive” place that can’t be reached through our minds, and a visionary experience in 2007 made that real for me in a whole new way.
This participatory, free tele-class is an opportunity for you to experience the transformative power of metaphor. Bring any issue, project or concern to the call...and be ready to receive metaphoric insight. If you’re an artist or do any form of creative work and want insight and deepening into your creative abilities, this call will provide a boost of inspiration. Even though we’re dialing in from all over the world, the power of the imaginal is still present and something we tap into together.
