The Great Work grew out of a passion for psychotherapy, alternative healing practices and ancient Western spirituality based on the rhythms and cycles of Nature. Focusing on the common themes that appear in ancient Western cultures, this system recognizes the relationship we have with our natural environment in conjunction with timeless mythological themes for the purpose of supporting individual inner growth and change.

The Great Work presents a comprehensive, cohesive approach to:

• Developmental needs from infancy to elderhood
• The healing journey from Crisis to Fulfillment
• The main archetypes of experience
• Components of healthy relationships with self & others
• Working with Elemental alignment
• Working with Intuitive Tools & Higher Guidance
• Maintaining Energetic balance
• Incorporating learning from past and future lives
• Symbols for activating balance in each Cycle

The Great Work is a powerful, integrative healing modality that identifies key issues in emotional health and provides physical, energetic and intuitive tools to move into balance and wholeness. It is the illumination of the “Patterns of Conscious Living” and can be used for personal development or enfolded into an existing practice for practitioners.

This ongoing year-long Study Group presents the material from each Cycle on a weekly basis – as is presented in the book, The Great Work: Self-Knowledge and Healing Through the Wheel of the Year. Participants are presented with weekly assignments to do if they choose in order to intergrate the information over a period of weeks, as well as being introduced to various methods for working with each Cycle’s Intuitive Tool.
