Working With Wounds


A Gateway to Soul Workshop
Saturday & Sunday NOVEMBER 17 & 18, 2012

Part of the Gateways to Soul series of workshops incorporating Myth, Poetry, Storytelling, Ritual and Psychodrama in search of a soulful relationship with the world.

Facilitated by Ben Dennis PhD and Ron Hogan MA

The stories we tell, if they be rich enough, will not only address the ills of our daily experience, but treat the deep suffering found in the wounds of our soul by transforming them into our greatest gifts.


In this experiential workshop we will weave myth, story, poetry, and Psychodrama to explore the archetypal nature of the wounds of the body, soul, spirit, and the heart. We will examine what our wounds are and what our soul’s relationship is to them. We will explore and share our stories, and investigate the effect our wounds have on our identity and the way we live.

    "What are the influences and agendas hidden within your wounds?"
    "What is your relationship to your deep wounds? How do they feed your soul?"
    "What is wounded and what is healthy? Are you living your highest, deepest, truest gifts?"

Please join us in this exploration as we challenge and nurture each other.
