Drawing on ancient traditions, Tick explains how we know ourselves, our destinies, and our connection to the divine through dreams, visions, oracles, and synchronistic events. He shows us how Poseidon’s fierce and unpredictable power can rescue as well as destroy, and that we must express humility and balance in order to receive his gifts. Tick continues his decades-long revival of Asklepian dream incubation and other modern versions of ancient rituals while providing a deep dive into the sacred history of Poros and how it can bring transformation and serenity today. He also reveals life-changing mystical experiences his travelers and he have had over 40 years of pilgrimages, including encounters with animal guides, higher powers, and oracles, as well as examining the physical and spiritual restoration of Poseidon’s sanctuary and contributing to its literary and mythological legacy.https://www.edwardtick.com Hosted on Acast.

Elizabeth Éowyn Nelson, a faculty member at Pacifica Graduate Institute and author of Psyche's Knife, dives into the intriguing myth of Eros and Psyche. She illuminates the often-overlooked symbolism of the knife, linking it to themes of agency and intimate separations necessary for deep connection. The conversation explores Psyche's beauty as both a gift and a curse, the challenges she faces set by Aphrodite, and the profound transformations of love. Nelson also discusses how these archetypes resonate with our understanding of mature love today.
