  • I've been looking forward to the next installment and it doesn't disappoint. For my simple head this connects the dots of mythology in a vast landscape that i can almost understand. It leaves me wanting more and keen to pickup my own research. Thanks!

  • Mind expanding

    I found this podcast after seeking other perspectives of Jungian psychotherapy. I have an interest in counselling (from both sides).

    A true investigation and exploration of Jungian thought, spirituality, and philosophy that is in no way contaminated by the pop and pap so common to many podcasts.

  • I've listened to season 1 - A Jungian approach to healing emotional wounds dozens of times.

    I would say these are the best available at relating a practical understanding of Jung.

    Beyond that, Mulhern shares a broad knowledge of related mythic, spiritual, and scientific topics, presenting a holistic ontology and important messages of the day
