More Meanderings on the Collective Unconscious and Inner Work
Right below the surface of “Theo and Spout,” a seemingly simple gender-bending coming of age story, lies an exercise in Inner Work and the Shadow. While Theo is just Theo, Sprout is clearly or not so clearly many things. On the surface she is his spirit guide, there to help him through adolescence, give him…

Self-Discovery and The Collective Unconscious

Theo and Sprout is Live
My new book, “Theo and Sprout” was released yesterday. How exciting. Thanks to everyone who helped out. Also thanks to anyone reading this at all. Now I have to figure out how to market a gender bending, Jungian, young adult, imaginary friend coming of age story. Thinking I’ll need some luck with that. At least…
