From the Cobb Institute's page: "Dr. Sheri Kling is the world’s leading expert on Jung and Whitehead. Jung tells us that the conscious ego is like a cork floating on a deep ocean – a collective unconscious – filled with energies and treasures that can help guide us, if only we take heed and listen. Whitehead tells us that something like human experience pervades the depths of reality, and that every occasion of experience is beckoned by a Divine call to realize its fullest potential. Process theologians thus agree with Jung, adding that, amid the fragmentation we face today, both personal and social, there is a whole-making spirit at work in the world, as near to us as our breathing and our dreaming. Dr. Kling brings Jung and Whitehead together, showing that, if we listen not only to our ideas about life, but to the resonant images that come to us from the depths of our individual dreams and collective experience, there is indeed hope for us and all."
Books by Sheri D Kling
When the pathways you’ve been devoted to have closed, deep inner work alongside trust in God’s presence, guidance, and imagination make up the kind of active partnership that can open new pathways.
A personal memoir of faith and transformation, and their relationship with story and song.

A practice of group dream work holds treasures for individuals;
might it hold treasures for leaders and their organizations as well?
