Welcome to The Vale

“Call the world if you please ‘The Vale of Soul-Making.’ Then you will find out the use of the world.”
— John Keats

The Vale is a School for spiritual orphans.

Our curriculum will draw on the work of scholars of soul and practitioners of Soul Making…

…poets like Keats, Rumi, Hafez, Dickenson, Rilke, Machado, Kabir, Oliver and Thoreau…

…soul psychologists like Carl Jung, James Hillman, Thomas Moore, Marion Woodman, Marie-Louise von Franz…

…and the occasional essay by me, a humble custodian of the incredible library that has been gifted to us by the great scholars of Soul and the practitioners of Soul Making.
