When the world seems to be falling apart all around us, depth psychology provides perspectives and tools that can help us make some sense of things, even in some small way. Through the study of the unconscious, we can often get a glimpse of
patterns at work, or underlying aspects that help us gain a new understanding of how we are truly supported by something larger-how the boundaries and attachments of our ego selves can soften and give way to soul, which sustains us.
In this issue of Depth Insights, we encounter a variety of topics including grieving, animal encounters, spiritual awakening, music, dance, and systems science in conjunction with Jungian psychology.
Several of these compelling essays build on the authors' personal experiences in order to truly explore the many ways soul reveals itself in our lives and in the collective. Others offer a broad academic view that integrate philosophy or systems science with depth psychology to further enrich the lens by which we might perceive soul at
work in the world.
