You can sign up here for a cowry shell divination with Machiel Klerk. 

Machiel is a gifted diviner who embraces the spiritual healing tradition of his country of birth, South Africa. Several years ago the African shaman Malidoma Somé recognized him as a diviner, and since then Machiel has been in an apprenticeship with him.

The cowry shell divination is a multi-faceted and adaptable modality and can address any number of sought inquiries that may be of present concern, such as relationships, occupation, health... anything that is relevant to your present interests.

Validating personal gifts, it sheds light on how best to navigate your current path, both practical and inspirational, and helps to clarify an increased awareness of the internal and external obstacles and how best to approach the challenges you face.

The way in which the modality is applied and carried out invites an open, creative, and honest dialogue of inquiry and evokes curiosity that can circumvent worn out thought patterns and beliefs we can get stuck in over time, unlike other forms of inquiry that can inhibit the unconscious mind.

Read a fascinating blog on Divinations and Machiel  here.

Dream Journey Amsterdam

An In-Depth, Local Experience of Amsterdam 


 
WATCH the online presentation here
Plus let Machiel know before June 1st if you are interested.

Get a  true local experience of Amsterdam, one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in the world. This promises to be a dream journey to the city that was founded in the 13th century, with UNESCO world heritage city center canal ring, and some of the greatest museums in the world.

Travel local style in a small group (4-8 people) and learn a lot about the culture of The Netherlands and Amsterdam with your Dutch guide  Machiel Klerk. He grew up in the Netherlands and Amsterdam is his "other home." 

Machiel will tell you about the history of Amsterdam, show you the fun places and provide talks and lectures to give you a real idea of the Dutch and Amsterdam cultural mentality. At the same time you will have time to do an inner journey by engaging in several dream groups and do some one on one inner work with Machiel.

Of course, we've also planned lots of time to enjoy modern Amsterdam's markets, pubs, and the arts as theatre, concerts and festivals too. You'll come away with a deep and rich understanding of what makes this country tick, and you might have fallen in love with this place.

Robert Bosnak: Imagination of Air & the Azure Vault

A 10-week, in-depth course in Alchemical Psychology


There's still time to join this fascinating course! Enroll here and receive the recordings of the first two classes.

With his remarkable chapter on air James Hillman devises a method to look at science and technology as a metaphor system. It shows how the spirits formerly seen in the alchemical process are now all around us in the technology we use. For our contemporaries it is essential to understand technology not just as the literal tools and inventions we employ, but as ways the creative autonomous imagination expresses itself technologically today and makes us into who we are. It teaches a radically new way of reflection. This chapter is essential for all dreamers who live in the here-and-now on our way to an uncertain future.

The Azure Vault focuses on our ability to know the world by way of our sense of aesthetics. Alchemists tell us that each particle of matter is formed around its own creative spark called caelum, heaven. An eye trained in seeing the sparks in all matter by way of aesthetic recognition sees a world alive with creativity. Hillman teaches us to hone our skills of letting the world reveal itself as a living abode.

In the course we will go through the chapters 'Imagination of Air' and 'The Azure Vault' page by page, and frequently line by line, sometimes dropping even between the lines into the great mystery itself. For those who have tasted these mysteries, there is no way back. One is haunted by them for life. It was so with Jung, Hillman, and with Bosnak as well. It will happen to you if you're open to it.

Individuation and the Unlived Life of the Parents
Imagination of Air and the Azure Vault - Robert Bosnak 
Care of the Soul in Daily Life - Thomas Moore
"Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent." - C.G. Jung 

My dad has always existed for me in the space between "here" and "gone." He was always around, but only rarely has he been truly present in my life. In recent months this has been literalized as his health has taken a turn for the worst. He's now in a nursing care facility, spending his most of his days apparently drifting in and out, only occasionally conscious or coherent, no longer who he was. 

He graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, then worked for the State of Utah for 30 years. It was always clear how much he hated his job. He was miserable and bored, and my mom, my sister, and I seemed to exist only in the shadows of his suffering. When he retired, his health started deteriorating steadily. I feel it has to do with the shadows of unlived potential manifesting as illness.

One Year Certification Training Program

This year long course in Care of the Soul is an introduction to the work of Thomas Moore and especially about living a life with soul and spirit. It steers a middle course between study and practical living. It would be useful for people wanting to live more deeply and go beyond the surface ideas of contemporary psychology and spirituality and for therapists, counselors, medical professionals and teachers looking for a deeper approach to their work.

Each participant can take the course in his or her own direction. Therapists could focus on bringing soul into their practice, and anyone can make the course a more personal exploration. Still, this is an introductory course, a solid preparation for more focused courses to follow.

Location: Jaffrey, New Hampshire

Cost: Early bird discount - only $3900 before August 1st ($4250 after). Cost includes a certification.

Process of enrollment: Enroll by emailing Machiel Klerk at  machiel@jungplatform.com
