Workshops
Interviews & Discussions
Ana Mozol discusses her book
A Re-Visioning of Love: Dark Feminine Rising
Ana Mozol is a depth psychologist in private practice in Vancouver (@dreamworktheatre). We get to chat about the significance of her journey and what it reveals in her book. She shares about her process in approaching such a difficult yet important topic. She talks about trauma, animus work, the demon lover, and the importance of embracing the mystery in the descent to the dark feminine. She also gives great suggestions for further reading regarding the exploration of Jung's shadow and its impact on the women who carried on his work. Mozol definitely carries on the work and pushes it further consciously from this understanding. The synchronicities that arose for me while reading her work were huge for my own research, as she has written and approached aspects of the work that many have not been able to do. I have the most respect for her courage.
