Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

It's important to ask yourself, How am I useful to others? What do people want from me? That may very well reveal what you are here for.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

The road ahead is not going to be easy. It never is, especially for folks like you and me.

Pacifica has offered to me a unique perspective that spoke to me deeply. It allowed me the ability to explore and find my voice as a practitioner. I was enrolled at another very conventional university when I found Pacifica, or rather, when Pacifica found me! I didn’t know what Depth psychology was at that time, but i knew I had been introduced to something very special. It has truly been a transformative experience.
