Dreaming Myself into Old Age: One Woman’s Search for Meaning | Lily Iona MacKenzie

Newly released hybrid memoir, Dreaming Myself into Old Age: One Woman’s Search for Meaning that Shanti Arts Press has published in both print and Kindle. Dreaming invites readers to join my quest for self-discovery.

At times, I’ve also worked with Jungian analysts who have helped me go deeper into my dreams.

Latest IPCC report is code red for humanity.” (UN Secretary-General António Guterres (9th August 2021)

What does “code red” mean for psychotherapists?  Climate Psychology Alliancecurrently chaired by WMIP member Judith Anderson, has been exploring these issues for over a decade. They offer many resources, particularly Podcasts  a Handbook, resources for young people and trainings such as Through the Door and How to facilitate a Climate Café. Psychoanalyst Sally Weintrobe’s latest book Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist Ro Randall’s blogs and podcasts are great contributions from CPA members.  For useful updates on climate science I recommend the Climate Crisis Advisory Group website and their monthly public meetings.
