“The right way to wholeness is made up of…fateful detours and wrong turnings. It is a longissima via, not straight but snakelike, a path that unites the opposites in the manner of the guiding caduceus, a path whose labryrinthine twists and turns are not lacking in terrors.”

“If she can connect to the survival energy in the lowest chakra, and through meditation send its roots deep into the center of the earth, feel herself solidly planted, then that grounding becomes becomes the necessary basis for the Light which she is capable of receiving. Stretching to her full stature, with feet firmly rooted in the earth and head receptive to the sun, her heart opens to the Tree of Life.”

Testimonials

“In addition to being an exceptionally gifted soul-oriented psychotherapist, Eva has been freely sharing the depth and breadth of her collective wisdom with a large community of on-line followers. She has spent a lifetime archiving and curating, in beautifully powerful ways, the long history of art and seminal articulations related to Soul Work in its multi-cultural, myriad manifestations from the most ancient Alchemical and Hermetic sources up through modern day Jungian Depth Psychotherapy and other Soul-Oriented perspectives. Eva has been answering a sorely needed and heartfelt call to elucidate the interconnectedness of Dream Work, Astrology, Tarot, and current “evidence-based”, mainstream state of the art Mind/Body techniques for healing trauma, centering, and consciously reclaiming ourselves during these turbulent times of deep change and desperate need for increasing balance/wholeness.
