I am interested in meaning-making in my life, a term I first read in Carl Jung's work. It interests me how our dreams, healing work (particularly hypnotherapy with the trance element), and creativity overlap. Bringing the "feminine" into our culture is how our country could change for the better. If the Oscar Award Winner for best movie, The Hurt Locker, is the film that tells us what 2009 was - a film about addiction to killing and subsequent rush in the body, then the "feminine" is what we need to balance our society. (Feminine and masculine are old terms and could be better said as different ways of being intelligent/receiving information) the intuitive, feeling vrs the sensate and rational.
