Introduction In late March I took an impromptu trip to Avebury in the English county of Wiltshire. My first experience of this special place came a few years ago when travelling from Swindon to Devizes to see an Eric Ravilious exhibition. This was a new land to me, and I had no real knowledge of the locality. So when the trundling bus, making its way down a small B road, was suddenly in between huge standing stones only a few feet away, I was taken aback and fascinated by thi

Boleskine is a place steeped in local history, as well as more widely known and mysterious associations with the rich tapestry of occultism in Britain during the late 19th and 20th century.

Ithell Colquhoun’s work stands at the crossroads of art, magic, and social reform. Rooted in landscape, myth, and the living intelligence of matter, her paintings and writings speak powerfully to contemporary longings for depth, enchantment, and ecological relationship.

A personal reflection on how astrology and depth psychology meet within the shared language of symbolism, offering new ways to understand psyche, relationship, and meaning.

What struck me most during the workshop, and what I have since revisited in reading his work, is Romanyshyn’s ability to remain faithful to both scholarship and soul.

What does it mean to listen to the Earth? Not as a metaphor, but as an act of reverent attention. For those whose work engages with psyche and image (particularly psychotherapists and artists in this instance) the question can evoke something ancestral, a realignment of the senses with our most natural way of being in the world. We are accustomed to listening deeply: to silences, the symbolic, to psyche speaking through image and metaphor. So what happens when we turn this sa

Patrick Harpur's The Philosopher's Secret Fire explores a forgotten understanding of imagination. Not fantasy or invention, but a living realm where myth, psyche, and world meet. This article reflects on imagination in psychotherapy, creative practice, and the imaginal dimension of reality.
