Other Recommended Reading for the Sylvia Perera Events:

Sylvia says, "Carl Jung saw psychotherapy as an essential, Western initiatory rite, and depth analysis as the psychological equivalent to the alchemical making of gold. I will present stories from the analytic work of several clients that reveal the processes through which they  moved and were moved by concrete actions into the depths of psyche. The created rites become a bridge to the sacred and a source of personal transformation."
