Description
Tamboo Tygress is a community of devoted practitioners of Archetypal Psychology. Beauty bound, we facilitate a ritualistic reordering of reality through the sensitive cultivation and care of the soul.

“I want to do with you what spring does to the cherry trees.” Pablo Neruda.
Let such enraptured exuberance remind you of something you already know, your soul. She is that presence you sense within the beauty, pain, joy and folly of your life; a fragment of the wild and mysterious other world within this one. This other world is sometimes described as God, or the gods, or Spirit, and shines through the display of our surface lives.
These god forces disrupt. They interfere with our well-laid plans and challenge the autonomy of our intentions, to push us toward our fate. The gods do not ask for permission. At times, they render us ecstatic. At others, they bind us in the mundane necessity of daily life. And then, there are those times, when we are moved through initiatory gateways into descent. Here, we discover the scattered bones of fractured relationships, frozen bodies, burning emotions, desiccated dreams, and our fears for a planet and its people gone mad.
We tell you this to break your heart. Only that it may break open and never close again to the rest of the world. With these words of the poet Mary Oliver, and the teachings of Archetypal philosopher, James Hillman, we recognise: It is not your individuation that we are after. Rather, it is the awakening and the individuation of the angel of your soul.
This sense of fate or calling, is embedded in you and has a particular intention for your life. When we are attuned, connected to the angel, we are touched by a remarkable and surprising passion that remakes us and revisions our existence. We learn to love who we are. This is no small thing. It infuses all that we are, all that we care for and attend to, with an energetic grace.
With curiosity and delight, we delve together with you into your process of transformation.
Some of the tools used for healing are:
- Individual and couple therapy,
- Psychodynamic workshops using alchemic, shamanic, kadeisha, and spiritual teachings and practices,
- Initiation cycles,
- Art, theatre, music, and movement therapies,
- Academic learning,
- Meditation,
- Internal and energetic medicine,
- Dream circles, men’s tables, women's black-lace storytelling,
- Walking wild,
- Sacred pilgrimage,
- Restorative retreats,
- Abortion or miscarriage rituals,
- Suicide and addiction recovery,
- Crazy wisdom and animal whispering,
- and simply sharing ideas over a cup of tea.
In caring for the soul, healing occurs through the exciting discovery of a more imaginative way to live with the mystery of your individual portion. You are not naively ‘integrated’ or made miraculously ‘whole’. Something infinitely more precious occurs. You discover yourself becoming more real, more creative and vibrantly alive.
“Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing or rightdoing, there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.”
Rumi.
