I completed my doctorate at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Mythological Studies and Depth Psychology while working full time and caring for a disabled parent who required 24-hour assistance. Needless to say it was hard and I was tired. My dissertation looked at how using mythic stories and journal writing enhanced the well being of family caregivers.
I haven’t been back to Pacifica since I defended my dissertation in December 2015. Wow I can’t believe it’s been that long. This year’s alumni gathering theme is “The stories we tell.” On Saturday evening, the program is going to have an Author’s Spotlight featuring published alumni. I’ll be there sharing my process on Falling From The Moon. I’ll have book for sale as well.
All the authors who are being featured are doing amazing work. I am so honored to be among them.
