Faranak Mirjalili
Faranak Mirjalili is a Jungian Analyst in The Netherlands. Her current work and research revolve around connecting individual psychology to collective mythology and how active participation in myth within a group context can help both the individual as well as the collective psyche transform. She is passionate about the post-Jungian thought of freeing the psyche from the traditional therapy room and giving it back to the World Soul.
She is the founder of the Anima Mundi School where she works with a small collective of women from various fields that bring together depth-psychology, anthropology, the mythic imagination, and the creative arts.
