Cultivating Wholeness in a Fragmented World

Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness in a Fragmented World by Bill Plotkin (9781577315513)

Addressing the pervasive longing for meaning and fulfillment in this time of world crisis, this work introduces an innovative developmental psychology that shows how fully and creatively we can mature when we allow soul and nature to guide us. It presents a model for a human lifespan rooted in the patterns and rhythms of nature.

He goes on to describe the archetypes and the 8 corresponding stages, which are: Innocent (infancy, early childhood), Explorer (middle and late childhood), Societal Entrepreneur & Wanderer (early adolescence, late adolescence), Soul Apprentice and Artisan (early and late adulthood), and Master and Sage (early and late elderhood). Based on the 15 per cent of Western people who exhibit exemplary development, these descriptions offer insight into discovering your potential. They help explain conflict and confusion in our society and point the way to assisting children and adults move through the phases for better lives and a better world.
