Jungian analyst, Anne Baring, devotes her life’s work to the exploration of the soul, for healing, through the feminine principle. When this work, testing even the most strident seeker, is patiently and heroically culminated into transformed consciousness, the masculine is healed in tandem. Below is a list of her brilliant lecture series, reproduced here with her permission. These lectures are designed for personal work, in a journal, or using any medium the subject may allow, for the discovery of the self.

Anne Baring’s website contains a wealth of psychology/soul material and is complemented by the compelling art of Robin Baring. Her ground breaking book, written with Jules Cashford, titled “Myth of the Goddess – Evolution of an Image”, provided a life changing view for me over ten years ago. It provides an impeccably researched resource that is reached for time and time again. Her most recent work, contributed to by Scilla Elworthy, involves reconnection with soul, aptly titled “Soul Power: An Agenda for a Conscious Humanity” , which is at once a disturbing, awakening, hopeful, and moving work, dedicated to the evolution of humankind.
