Progoff Journal
From Resources
Ira Progoff’s Intensive Journal Process combines one of the oldest methods of self-exploration and expression–keeping a journal–with a structured format that enables you to get to know the inner core of your life on ever-deeper levels and gain a fuller perspective on where you are. The Intensive Journal Process also empowers you to take the action necessary to change the course of your life and unlock your hidden creative potential. This rich, insightful work is a treasure for all those involved in self-inquiry, artistic creation, and spiritual renewal.

From Writing class pieces and Elementary teaching
When I lost my job as Chief Administrator of ZCLA on August 5, 1997 I knew I had to do something practical, fast.

Writing Class Pieces
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
For my inquiry into the change of consciousness necessary to avert global eco-catastrophe, I want to focus on the theme that is currently emerging. For this purpose, I’m going back and forth between two resources that I’ve been digging into for months.

For almost my entire adult life I have been periodically drawn to the writings of Carl Jung. But every time I engage, I find myself somewhat mystified. I usually tell myself that I should try again when I am older and wiser. It always feels like there is something there I need to know, but I’m not quite ready to grasp it.
Charles Eisenstein on the Yin and Yang of Active Hope
I want to share this whole essay I received today from Charles, called By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them. It captures the two poles of hope and realistic despair, and shows how they work together.
