By Toko-Pa Turner
This book is a beautiful, transportive ride into the inner psyche and the collective unconscious. Turner, works from the fascinating frame of dreamwork, rooted in Jungian concepts and also branching out into her own archetypes. Each chapter centers around an archetype, their relevance in dreams as well as in general human evolution of the self. Turner writes lyrically and makes some of these generally harder to grasp concepts quite palatable (and deliciously so). In a world suffering from so much loneliness and felt sense of isolation, this book is a beautiful bridge of the individual into the collective both now and across time. Turner helps the reader locate the self in a wider context, positioning where we each are on our own hero’s journey. If you’re feeling a little lost at sea these days, allow Turner’s story telling to be your compass.
