Inner Wayfinding: An Apprenticeship to Psyche
You can’t see the wind, but you can learn its patterns by feeling it on your face, smelling how it shifts smoke, seeing how it moves leaves, sails, and sand.
You can’t see the Psyche, but you can learn its currents by feeling it in your body, sensing how it stirs moods, watching how it moves images, myths, and energy.

Just like you can use knowledge of the wind and air currents to sail, fly, or get out of the path of a wildfire — you can use knowledge of the Psyche’s currents to transform and navigate Life.
In this course, we train in imaginal practice notice and change the patterns of the Psyche.
Some of what we learn includes:
Journeying: From Jungian analysts to Sufi mystics to shamans and ancient Greek philosophers, inner journeying has always been used to understand our lives, our psyches, and the nature of the world. This course gives firm, steady directions to build your skill and agency with journeying.
Dreamwork: Dreams are the purest place to observe the dynamic currents of the Psyche. By working with dreams, and by journeying back into them, there’s no limit to what you can learn, to the patterns you can shift.
Intuitive Soma-Kinetics (ISK): The currents of the Psyche don’t stop in your mind — they pulse through your body too. By tracking them and allowing them to move you, you can remove all kinds of obstructions between you and the free flow of Deep Aliveness.
Lucid Waking: The goal of any imaginal practice isn’t just to journey alone in your room; you have to be able to take your insights out into the world. Inner Wayfinding is oriented towards shifting your perception towards a more intuitive, spontaneous awareness that you can take with you into your relationships, your job, your long walks through town.

The course is currently 4 volumes, hosted in Notion. The volumes are: Imaginal Freestyle, Basic Imaginal Journeying, Mythosomatic Dream Return, and Inner Wilds Sailcraft.
There are 2 more volumes in the works — Archetypal Resonance, and Jungian Sabbatical — and I hope to have them out in a few months.
