The Journey

I may be going back

   Tue, March 31, 2009 - 6:48 AM
This Thursday I go back to New Orleans for my yearly teaching gig at the school I started there, The New Orleans Lyceum. It is doing really well, has its own building and a large mailing list. I am seriously considering moving back and resuming leadership of the school. Katrina interrupted a rich, full life down there and a very successful school, which I have not been able to establish here. There is something about that place, its dysfunction, its humor , its craziness and my dear friends who have weathered the recover that draws my back there on a soul level. I am doing an archetypal amplification workshop on the nature of desire through the story of the Sirens using yoga and art, a philo-cafe on the philosophical aspects of projections, a film discussion on "The Life of David Gale," and a screening of the film on Sabina Spielrein who Jung slept with, who then moved on the Freud - shown at the psychoanalytic center. We will also do a lot of eating, drinking, dancing listening to great music and even a voudou ceremony in the Quarter...Gawd, I miss that place!

The Lyceum alone seems a good enough reason to return. But also it was your home for along time. Good thoughts and vibes for your possible journey. Hope you are able to keep up with your new "weekend" celebrations too.

PS can you have a spare guestroom. In case I want to visit?
