with Dorene Mahoney, M.A. 
Tuesdays and Fridays:  STARTS MARCH 1

In this twice-weekly 90-minute show, experienced career coach and depth psychologist Dorene Mahoney, M.A.,  will help listeners/viewers in real time as they solve issues around being or becoming employed, thriving in a difficult work environment, dealing with job burn-out, turning one's calling into paying work, resolving office conflicts, preparing for an interview, making a job change, proceeding with a job search after being fired, asking for a raise . . . anything related to expressing oneself at work, and all topics explored through a depth lens.

SOULS OF WHITE FOLK: Shared Loss, Grief, and Healing
A Depth Psychology Alliance™ FREE DIALOGUE Event &  COMMUNITY CONVERSATION
with James Newell Ph.D
MARCH 12

Thi s is a Community Discussion event focusing on Racism. The topic of race and racism in America has become a hot button issue in popular culture, however, rarely if ever is the topic discussed from a depth psychology.

Juxtaposing the traditional idea of American Exceptionalism with the historical facts of native genocide and the enslavement of kidnapped Africans, we will ask participants to discuss the roots of the trauma of racism in America as an archetypal, cultural complex. This is the second event in an ongoing series and will focus on the trauma of racism, the impact of unprocessed grief, and the possibility of group healing through shared experiences of grieving the cultural losses that have resulted from Racism. 

No prerequisites. Join us for this special event.

During the opening circle March 3, 2016, we introduce ourselves and receive our first creative task, which we will work with on our own and then share as it seems right.
