This has been a very busy period for all of us here at Great Vessel and it shows little sign of letting up.
Stephen has been touring the United States Teaching and leading the Vallecitos group in New Mexico. He returned to do the various things he does for a number of University Courses he is involved with as well as popping over to do more courses in – was it Germany? It is very hard to keep up with him!
The Vallecitos Group: This wonderful group beavers away all year around. I hope they won’t mind me saying that they are a strong independent minded bunch who bring together incredible and diverse skills and learnings. So it is no surprise that the retreat has yet again provided a deep source of inspiration, practice and development which has lead to a new series of papers and articles which we will start posting online shortly.
Pete our IT man and the guiding hand that keeps Great Vessel running has gone to Malaysia with Theresa visiting the Chinese wing of the family. I should add that we seldom mention Theresa, but she is a professional programmer who quietly solves a lot of our programming problems… (Waiving deep thanks).
I have been pursuing a slightly different route. For a number of years I have been exploring the process of what happens when we divine. Not in a particularly formal way, but experientially with an anchor firmly set in Analytical Psychology (Jungian Approach). By using the Jungian perspective as a touchstone I have pushed out into the mystical end of the process. In February I started working with Eileen Murray, a Canadian Psychic. Our experiments have been intense and sometimes disturbing as they often challenged my accepted ideas. So next week I am flying to Canada to spend a couple of weeks doing more direct work.
So what have we got coming up?
First a whole series of articles which fit into the Imaginal Menagerie and Ritual side of the Yijing.
Second we have some more e-books which will fill out the spectrum of Yixue (Yijing studies and practice).
There is more which will come online in time.
I hope you find something you like in these new developments.
