  • Hi Charlene,

    Thank you for your interest in 'Embrace of the Daimon'.  I am so sorry about the download not being available.  The free download period ended at midnite.
    We have one more free download offer scheduled to help launch this revision.: March 15 and 16.  I will post something about it as the date gets closer.
    Best to you,
    Sandra

I hope as you explore the community a bit you find a dynamic group of like-minded people who are all deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology.

Schoen. The Book Club this month consists of four live teleseminars with the author and an online discussion forum via writing so you can participate at your own level and schedule--and you can join the discussion anytime, even if you don't have the book. Also upcoming in January is a special study group on the Red Book with Robert Bosnak starting January 19.

Just about the best...when something fits, you feel it, I feel it, in my body. The sensation of a permeable warmth with my mind relaxed and ready to question, probe...some might simply call it interest, but interest needs to be met in the outer world. This course is a meeting of Interest and Inner Desire. 

If you have ever had an interest in Alchemy, join this webinar.
