“The goal is not to arrive somewhere, or to achieve anything—never mind enlightenment or perfection. What we most need at this time is to become fluid, like water in a riverbed: directed, powerful yet soft and supple, immersed in and in service of the flow of life, still never attached and completely free.”

—Faranak Mirjalili

I offer Jungian psychoanalysis and Sandplay therapy, in-person in Hilversum or online. I am a researcher on alchemy and practice and write on the intersection of mysticism, Jungian psychology and the emerging feminine.

I founded the Anima Mundi School as a response to the challenges and needs of our time. Here, I offer ongoing training to women across the world who are interested in the synthesis between the Imaginal, Mythopoetics and the Anthropocene.

“The alchemists gave themselves totally to the Great Art: they were seized on an inner and outer level by the archetype of transformation. They did not paint a golden pearl, but strived to make one.”
— Marie-Louise von Franz
