Held on the enchanted island of Giglio in the Tuscan Archipelago, this program illustrates how the Voice of Psyche is heard and seen in the therapeutic situation. Through the presentation of theoretical material, and live supervision of participants’ clinical cases, this program offers clinicians an opportunity to see how Psyche and the archetypes literally shape the dynamics occurring within the client-therapist relationship. 
While fascinating and holding great potential for healing for both patient and therapist to experience the living reality and dynamism of a constellated archetype, if not understood, however, it often creates  a series of endless repetitions of an outdated way of life. It is through this experience of  seeing the power of  archetypal dynamics, which offers the opportunity to come face to face with the living reality of the soul.
