How many times have we felt that we were more than one person looking out at the world? Like Walt Whitman, we can often feel that we are a multitude of persons, and sometimes these strange and interesting people can stand in serious contradiction with each other. Many of us know well what it is like to feel that we are at war with ourselves.

Grounded in the work of Carl Jung, active imagination invites us to shift from a simple, singular sense of self into a rich and diverse world of being a village of many inner selves. We are each like Whitman’s multitude within. This experience of dialogue with our villagers assists us to resolve our conflicts and to end our civil wars. The study first presents a solid understanding of the experience and its benefits, and then offers a wide variety of case studies to enrich our understanding.

We are offered here a bold and transformative way to create a deeper sense of harmony and peace within ourselves, and from our own soul work to enlarge our capacity to live more effectively for the common good.
