Abre La Puerta Open the Door: We Were Made for these Times
Dr. Estes will describe the concept of evolving consciousness; that wholeness psychologically is never complete, but ever in process. She will bring new understanding about how we daily deal with outer society and its bounty as well as its soulless demands which can deplete the psyche .

And, finally, she will summarize the theme of loss and rebirth as it is put forth in modern depth psychology, but particularly in the wisdom traditions of curanderismo, a healing art practiced throughout the Americas and in Spain.
