In this excerpt from the interview, “Tending Soul with Military, Veterans, and First Responders: A Depth Psychological Approach,” for Discussions in Depth Psychology™, Ed Tick, Ph.D. and John Becknell Ph.D. discuss parameters of offering a depth psychological retreat with Military, Veterans, and First Responders.
When Tick and Becknell considered the best place to offer a program for focusing on soul work with military and first responders, Pacifica was an obvious choice. Pacifica is recognized as a “world center for archetypal and mythological studies and for going deep,” says Tick , and the Pacifica retreat center—in combination with Pacifica’s commitment to tending the soul of the world—makes it the perfect container in which Tick and Becknell can bring archetypal work into challenging real world for warriors and those who want to support them.
