Jungian Psychology: A Path to Wholeness
What You Can Expect as a Client
As a client working within this framework you’ll experience a blend of therapeutic techniques that go beyond traditional talk therapy. Sessions are a supportive space to dive deep into the layers of your psyche, where you’ll:
Explore Dreams and Symbols
Your dreams are rich sources of unconscious material. We’ll work together to explore the symbols that arise in your inner and outer life, helping you gain insights into unresolved conflicts and potential paths forward.
Uncover Unconscious Complexes
Many struggles—whether they manifest as anxiety, depression, or difficulties in relationships—stem from unconscious beliefs and emotions that center around an archetypal core and are developed early in life. By identifying and working through these, you’ll have the opportunity to break free from limitations and unfulfilling patterns.
Integrate the Shadow
Jung believed that everyone has a “shadow”—the parts of ourselves that we deny, avoid, or reject. Often, these aspects hold valuable energy and potential for growth. Together, we’ll explore your shadow and work toward integrating these hidden parts into your conscious life allowing you to become more whole and authentic.
Discover Activated Archetypes
Archetypes are universal patterns or themes that arise in myths, stories, and within ourselves. Through the lens of Jungian psychology, we’ll explore the archetypal roles and narratives that shape your life and how they can provide guidance on your journey toward self-discovery and integration. Jung wisely said that “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
Find Meaning in Life Transitions
Depth psychology views major life transitions—such as career changes, relationship shifts, or personal crises—as opportunities for growth and transformation. We’ll work together to uncover the hidden opportunities within these liminal places.
Integrating Jung with other Therapeutic Approaches
An integrative approach means that Depth Psychology is combined with other therapeutic modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and a range of Somatic therapies. This dynamic framework allows you to address both the conscious and unconscious aspects of your experience offering a well-rounded path to healing.

Phnom Penh: Historical Orientation & Witnessing
Our journey begins in Phnom Penh, with a guided city tour and grounded orientation to Cambodia’s modern history and the impact of the Khmer Rouge. This includes visits to Tuol Sleng (S-21) Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields which are approached with great care.
Next we will spend a gentle day on Silk Island, just outside Phnom Penh, wandering quiet village paths, watching silk woven by hand, and feeling the pace of life slow. One night is devoted to the richness of the Mekong River night market, while the remainder of our evenings unfold at The Bale—our Phnom Penh sanctuary—where shared dinners and depth workshops support the kind of integration that allows insight to become embodied change.
Siem Reap & Angkor: Sacred Architecture & Living Systems
In the second chapter, we arrive at Navutu—our retreat accommodations in Siem Reap. Nearby, the Angkor temples reveal themselves not as monuments, but as living spaces of reflection and imagination. At sunrise, Angkor Wat’s stone corridors and carved faces hold a quiet field.
The experience extends beyond Angkor into the surrounding life and landscape: an evening at the Cambodian Circus, a waterfall hike through Phnom Kulen National Park, and a visit to a butterfly sanctuary—restoring movement, play, and connection to the land.
Time spent with APOPO’s Landmine Rats, a locally led Cambodian nonprofit, deepens this relational approach, offering lived insight into trauma recovery, education, and community resilience at a systems level.
Cambodia is a land of remarkable beauty, resilience, and spiritual depth.
Home to Angkor Wat, one of the world’s most extraordinary sacred sites, it invites visitors into a living landscape where ancient wisdom, breathtaking artistry, and centuries of history continue to inspire awe and reflection.
Daily life weaves together extended cultural excursions and creative integration.
