How may we digest the past, engage more vividly in the present, and sense our futures with passion, intimacy and authenticity? These questions call us deeply, regardless of our stage in life.
Befriending the Future explores this territory, touching on themes of fate and destiny, digesting loss, and embracing fluidity and impermanence.
In this carefully-crafted journey, I clarify the origins of why our future can feel problematic and explore rich pathways to retrieve it as a source of creativity, energy and hope. Over six modules – drawing on psychotherapy, spirituality and poetry, I weave kernels of deep theory, brief thematic videos, evocative quotations, and guided audio reflections. The material is designed to invite you into your own knowing and sensing of the theme and where it touches you. Befriending the Future will resonate with those who value texture, authenticity and a sensitivity to our unfolding nature.
Deliberately priced to cost less than a single therapy session (and with scholarship options for those who need them) the pre-recorded structure is designed to support you engage with these themes at a pace and rhythm that is right for you.
