How can we come to terms with personal and cultural challenges and transform our fear and grief into action that inspire us to channel our gifts to make a positive difference in the world?
How can we discover the fluid nature of purpose through expanding our awareness, tuning in and being informed by our own experience and live life joyfully?
Join us for our interview with long time Psychosynthesis psychotherapist, author and The Work That Reconnects instructor to learn more about how she discovered Psychosynthesis, studied with Roberto Assagioli and delved more deeply into systems thinking and the ecological self to help bring Psychosynthesis principles from the personal to larger arenas of the environment, social issues and the body politic that impact us all.
Learn more about how Psychosynthesis has informed Molly's contributions to The Work That Reconnects and how important this work is for the myriad challenges we have been and continue to face in our world.
We discuss the Great Unraveling, facing uncertainty and fear and stepping into our deeper calling. "The call is always there, we are often just making too much noise to hear it."
