ABSTRACT

In this writing project I have ‘girded my loins’, so to speak, to write about community practice through the lens of this somewhat taboo, and ancient concept ‘soul’. Many have taken this path – from Jung, Hillman and other archetypal psychologists, through to those in the more critical-social tradition, such as Beradi and Rose. I accompany them as a community worker. In doing this I come with two major settings in mind.
