Mike is joined by Ann Amberg, M.C.S., M.A., depth psychology & ecopsychological scholar, and visionary guide, to explore how reconnecting with the Earth and its archetypal forces can transform our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. They dive into the erotic nature of the Earth, the power of longing, and the archetypal patterns that shape both personal and collective experiences.

Ann invites us to embrace the archetypal forces of Eros and Allurement, revealing how our culture's disconnection from nature has left us emotionally unfulfilled and spiritually disconnected. The conversation touches on everything from mythical understandings of Eros to practical ways of reconnecting with nature and the cosmos.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • The erotic nature of the Earth and the concept of Eros as gravity and attraction
  • Archetypal patterns and their influence on both personal and collective experiences
  • How to connect with nature through praise, deep imagery, and somatic practices
  • Ann’s upcoming year-long immersion program, Powers of the Universe, exploring archetypal forces in a ritualistic and interactive format
  • Reflections on longing, belonging, and the cultural disconnection from nature

Mentioned in This Episode:

  • Powers of the Universe by Dr. Brian Swimme
  • The role of ritual in eco-psychology and how archetypal awareness can heal our disconnection from the Earth
  • Jungian concepts of the self, longing, and the collective unconscious as they relate to our connection with nature
