THROUGH THE DARK FOREST
Transforming Your Life in the Face of Death
This is a wonderfully compassionate, always practical, and profoundly reassuring guide to the end of life written by a truly Wise Woman, our friend and colleague, Carolyn Conger, PhD
Each of us travels through the “dark forest” at the end of our lives and there is no clear path to assure us that we are going in the proper direction. Each of us must find our very own way to travel this last bit and, hopefully, each of us will be able to give meaning and shape to the story of our unique life’s journey.This book helps us to do just that. Carolyn Conger, PhD, is a healing presence - the perfect guide and companion for this part of life's journey. Simple and extremely practical - yet profound - hers is a book for those who have found themselves, or their loved ones, facing death and are looking for some guidance about what to do next. And - since we all face death - it is also for those of us who are facing the end of our lives in a less pressured way. As Carolyn says: “The more we participate in writing the ending of our own story, the more satisfied we are with the arc of our life.”
Through the Dark Forest is the distilled wisdom of a long and complex life. Dr. Conger brings with her a wealth of personal experience. She has - from a very early age - been an explorer of many worlds. She faced several of her own life-threatening health challenges; she worked with others within the traditional Western health care system becoming familiar with the practical aspects of terminal illness; she visited and lived with indigenous peoples of North America, South America, Africa, Borneo, and New Zealand, experiencing firsthand their ways of dealing with life and death; and, as a consciousness teacher with a deep understanding of the transformational process, over the years, she guided thousands through life-affirming transformational processes using intuition, meditation, energy medicine, dreams, visualizations, Voice Dialogue, travel, and rituals.

WORLD VOICES IN A POLARIZED WORLD:
Application of "Voice Dialogue" Principles to Polarized Teams, Organizations, and World Affairs
by Ozlem Sarioglu, PCC, MTP
What do you do when a loved one does not hear you? How do you become a team with people who do not share your values? How do you handle a power game, when you do not want to play that game? What do you do to change the dynamics of a relationship with someone whose interest is vested on conflict rather than collaboration?
Today we are living in a world where polarization is more complex than ever. It is not only in the political sphere but also on the social, environmental, organizational and even on family level where we face conflict and polarization. In this volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, our disagreements in the workplace, within the family, among citizens or loved ones easily become polarized. Therefore, our past know-how on dealing with conflict is obsolete. We need to start approaching conflict and polarization with a new perspective.
The Voice Dialogue technique, which has been used in personal development and couple's therapy since 1980s, has the potential to offer this fresh perspective to the area of conflict resolution of complex systems. Ozlem Sarioglu guides us through the steps of applying this powerful technique to overcome polarization in teams, organizations, and world affairs.
Ozlem Sarioglu's book provides guidance on the following:
- Role of vulnerability at the face of inner and outer conflict
- Rethinking your anger and judgements to redesign your responses
- How to cut the fuel of polarization and change the dynamic of your relationships
- Tools and techniques applicable to team coaching and conflict resolution based on Voice Dialogue methodology

Voice Dialogue in Everyday Life: A Do-It-Yourself manual
by
Joy Manné
Usually our personality is a confusion of contradictory impulses. We both want something and we don’t want it. We love and we hate the same person. We despair of ever understanding ourselves. The solution is to become literate about our personality. Hal and Sidra Stone developed the Voice Dialogue technique that enables us to interview the different parts of our personality as if they were individual people. Through it we learn to understand their conflicts and we submit their desires to the overall control of our Aware Ego. Awareness is always the solution to life’s challenges.
This is the first Do-It-Yourself Voice Dialogue manual.
The Intelligence of the Psyche: How to Find its Hidden Order
by Artho Wittemann
Artho Witteman is an adventurous explorer of the psyche: a curious scientist, a ground-breaking psychologist, and a spiritual seeker of meaning. And he brings to all his thinking, a philosopher's over-arching view of the human condition.
As early teachers of Artho Witteman, we applaud his work. We have always regarded our own pioneering work with the inner selves that make up the human psyche as an 'open source' contribution to understanding the depths and complexity of an individual's inner world and we are happy to see where others have taken this material and built upon it. We are happy to say that the Individual Systemics developed by Artho and his wife, Veeta, is a noteworthy contribution to the field of depth psychology.
The Intelligence of the Psyche introduces the reader to parts psychology and the depths of human consciousness that can be accessed through these inner selves. In it, he brings an elegant order to the natural complexity of the human psyche. With great clarity - and a sense of the natural self-organizing qualities of the human psyche - he guides the reader on a fascinating exploration of the evolution of this inner world. Using guideposts, categories, and maps, he shows the order that can be perceived in this chaos and gives the reader ways to detect, catalogue, and interpret, this order.
Perhaps best of all are the fascinating vignettes liberally scattered throughout the book that clearly illustrate this underlying order. We meet sympathetic human beings - all easily recognizable - and it is through their experiences and stories that we perceive the reality and richness of this remarkable system!

Love and Logic of the Soul: the Architecture of Human Nature
by Artho Wittemann
Love and Logic of the Soul follows upon Artho Witteman's earlier work, The Intelligence of the Psyche. It is a lyrical, flowing, and fascinating exploration of the field of depth psychology leading up to - and contributing to - Witteman's current psychological system. The historical aspects of this exploration include a proper respect for the creative genius of early innovators of parts psychology - including Freud, Jung, Assagioli and others. There is a clear sense of both the positive contributions and the limitations of each. And he comes to the conclusion that "to this day no model of the psyche has been found that meets two main requirements: the explanation of all psychological phenomena in a coherent overarching system and the direct verifiability of the model in practice."
In Love and Logic of the Soul - through example and discussion - he presents the basic psychological and spiritual tenets of his "Theory of Inner Sources". The central claim is that we cannot understand the inner parts properly, if we define them by what they say (content), what they do (behavior), where they are (position) or what the mean for the system (function). In a systematic approach that leads beyond these factors we should arrive at what he calls the "essential nature" of every part. Consequently, he finds new and surprising definitions of the terms Ego, Complexes, Archetypes and the very parts that make up the inner system we call the psyche.
It is a thoughtful and thorough contribution of an overarching system to the field of parts psychology. It brings a sense of order to the complexities of the psyche and the soul and provides us with a blueprint of the architecture of human nature - a presentation that is designed to touch that which is deeply human in each of us. This is an excellent and readable presentation of extremely complex material. As this model is utilized in ongoing practice we will be able to determine its place in this field of psychology.

Christianity and Nature-based Spirituality:
A Shamanic Journey Through The Medicine Wheel
by Lillie Foley Rowden
Encounter with Nature-based Spirituality, as interpreted through the Medicine Wheel and other indigenous practices, profoundly expanded the author’s Christian spiritual base. Out of these experiences developed a distinctive approach to spirituality. This book explores four premises: First, the integration of Christianity and Nature-based Spirituality impacts one’s life path and spiritual belief system, yet transcends and includes both traditions. Second, this integration is relevant to a ministry for the spiritual, psychological, emotional, physical growth and healing of individuals and groups by utilizing the author’s form of integrated Nature-based Spirituality, leadership skills and mentoring tools. Third, the expansion of ideas and beliefs address the practical and spiritual purposes of sustaining the earth in the current planetary crises. Fourth, Jesus can be identified in his social role as a shaman.
