Soul Making

The phrase "soul-making" comes from the poet John Keats, who struggled with the world's random and meaningless suffering, and believed that tragedies were the crucible in which the soul is forged and refined. In Soul-Making: A Journey of Resilience and Spiritual Rediscovery, Christina Becker shares how her own tragedy-from a series of events between 2009-2011 broke her, leading to her dependency on alcohol. It could have been seen as meaningless but was transformed into soul.Part memoir and part self-help book, this is the deeply personal story of one woman's soul-making journey framed around the ideas of Carl Gustav Jung and spiritual practices.Readers are invited to think about their own lives in a new way, to be curious about the deeper threads that run through their existence, and to embark on their own soul-making journey. This Jungian Analyst demonstrates how redemption is found through self-knowledge, the expansion of consciousness, and most importantly, through the cultivation of the heart.
