Soul isn't a vague poetic add-on. It’s the inner dimension of life that mediates meaning—the “middle ground” that differentiates us from events and helps us reflect rather than merely react.
Soul-making is a reflective movement: it “mediates events,” and soul-making means differentiating that middle space between the doer and the deed.
We experience soul in dreams, fantasy, synchronicities, the arts—any imaginative or symbolic activity arising from the psyche's desire to know itself.
Soul speaks in images. If the soul speaks to us in images, then soul-making is learning to imagine—to see through outer-world events to the image being conveyed, translating life-events into soul.
And soul isn’t just “inside.” There is a paradox: the soul reflects the symbolic inner meaning of outer events, yet there can be no inner knowing without the soul expressing itself outward—in a dream, a synchronicity, or creative expression.
In this workshop, you will learn the concept of soul-making, have a felt experience of inner guidance that you can recognize again, and begin exploring how to create a spiritual container where the soul can be the source of meaning and life purpose.
"By soul I mean, first of all, a perspective rather than a substance, a viewpoint toward things rather than a thing itself. ... 'soul' refers to the deepening of events into experiences . . . "
— James Hillman

Testimonials
“As someone who does most of their job over Zoom, I am amazed at how each session was so much more than a video call. You've managed to create what I can only describe as an environment, a dynamic space with a unique feel of its own and none of the usual "Zoom" fatigue I know so well. I appreciate the evident pre-planning and respect for our time, as well as for our opinions and feelings, which made all voices heard and held space for everyone in such a large group of people. I felt something I didn't plan for or expect--a sense of commitment to our group and each individual person. I loved being exposed to people I never would have met otherwise. At the same time, I felt safe to develop a unique and intimate experience of my own.”
Andrea K // Workshop Participant
“How different yet alike we all are. The respect and care everyone showed to one another were remarkable. We all built a community of trust and warmth. Extraordinary!”

“This workshop has far exceeded any expectations I had when I signed up for it and has been a significant positive experience for me. And a growth experience. One thing that was important for me as a man to feel comfortable in this particular workshop was the way you made clear early on that masculine and feminine energies applied to biological males as well as biological females.”

Christina Becker, Jungian Analyst
Christina has been devoted to her individuation journey and to the practice of Jungian psychoanalysis for decades. A midlife crisis in her late 30s called her to leave a successful nonprofit consulting career and relatively good marriage to pursue training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. Since 2002, she has been privileged to accompany fellow seekers through her private practice in Toronto.
She is on the faculty of the Toronto Art Therapy Institute and is a senior training analyst for the
Inter-regional Society of Jungian Analysts.
In 2025, she published her memoir and self-help book Soul-Making: A Journey of Resilience and Spiritual Rediscovery.
In 2004, Christina published The Heart of the Matter: Individuation as an Ethical Process with Chiron Publications, a Jungian-based publisher in Asheville, North Carolina. The book grew out of her personal experience with boundary violations in her personal therapy and her own confrontation with the unconscious, searching for the heart of ethical conversation. The publication has been deemed as one of the central contributions to the topic of ethical conversation within the Jungian community.
She has also lectured for local Jungian communities all over the world – including Zurich, Switzerland, Johannesburg, South Africa, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto in Canada, and New York City and Tucson in the United States. She has been featured as a guest on several podcasts: This Jungian Life, Speaking of Jung, and Howl in the Wilderness. She has been interviewed as an expert in several documentaries on Jungian psychology, including “What is Synchronicity”, by David Strabala.
