40 DAYS OF TAROT AN ALCHEMICAL-ARCHETYPAL JOURNE INTO WHOLENESS
STARTS MAY 28TH ON THE NEW MOON: 
“You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.” ― Joseph Campbell
What better way to learn the Tarot and unlock the archetypal keys to your own creative and psychic potential than to live it for 40 days!

Project 40:
I conceived of Project 40 as a way to help those who could not afford to come for regular therapy sessions. I also wanted to find a way to leverage the daily experiential tools and rituals we can all use. The Internet allows me to do this and I invest a great deal of time and energy in order to make each Project 40 journey a highly personal and "of the moment" journey. Nothing cookie-cutter or generic like you might expect with many Internet packages and programs. Project 40 is extremely unique and will take you just as deep as very intensive one-on-one Jungian psychoanalytic work. If you were to actually pay my going hourly rate, for the amount of time you get in this program, it would be very costly. At 200.00 / hour and approximately 20-30 hours per person per P40 session, we would be into the thousands of dollars. So I am happy and grateful for the Internet, as it allows us to connect in a way that is affordable for you and allows us to be engaged on a daily basis. Project 40 has healed me and so I have decided to share it as a service to the world under the blessing of my Guru, Mata Amritanandamayi who blessed it in Amritapuri in 2009.
A Necessary Rant: As a diehard, classically -trained Jungian with seventeen years of analysis and supervision from some of the best Jungian analysts in Zurich, NYC and now San Francisco, it's painful for me to see how so much of the elegance and depth of Jung's work is lost and misused by those with very little if any actual experience or training (not to mention their own analytic process). Jung says that the unconscious is both beautiful and terrible but not something to "play around with" or take lightly by any means. Would you throw yourself out into the middle of a dark ocean without a reliable person at the helm... or worse, without a boat or a paddle? Unless you're trying to live the life of Pi, this is probably not wise. The danger of superficial systems that I have seen claiming to explore "shadow work" is frankly downright disturbing when you realize how tricky it is to navigate the depths of one's unconscious without the proper clinical training, supervision and experience. This is another reason why I am trying to make this work more pervasive as a way to undo some of the damage that has been done to Jung's work and credibility in so many "new age" and "self-help" circles that have sadly cheapened the work. A complex is something that must be worked at daily and consistently and with a skilled analyst to help you unravel the many layers. It is not something that can be magically "fixed" in one weekend, covered up with medication or removed with a juice cleanse.
You Receive: *Daily personal emails that I create on that particular day itself (nothing is pre-baked, half-baked or it would lose the essence of tapping into the powerful messages of that particular space and time--and thus lose the power of synchronicity so fundamental to the magic of Jungian therapy). *A system designed to bust through any laziness, blocks, and other BS that keep you from going beyond the normal 10% of mediocre consciousness and self-awareness. *Daily probing questions that make you stop and reflect in ways that create lasting transformation. *A powerful collective of kindred souls seeking radical transformation and willing to do the hard work in order to uncover the limitless potential and authenticity buried in the unconscious. *Accountability partners on a daily basis to keep you inspired and staying on top of your inner work. *Stopping and expanding time instead of the feeling that another month just flew by without any noticeable change in your life. *A sacred container built on seventeen years of research and private practice with a classically trained Jungian therapist and astrologer. *40 Days of powerful tools you can use and re-use for the rest of your life that will totally transform your sexuality, your relationships and most importantly your Self. *Daily astrological guidance and reflection on the collective unconscious influences as revealed by the current astrological weather. I am thrilled to see how much Project 40 has grown and expanded over the past three years, and thus in order to keep up with the demand this will be the last round of Project 40 where I can offer such a low price. I am also keeping the groups down to only 13 people in order to be able to respond to everyone more individually, so don't wait to register if you want to do this! I know you're going to love how powerful and unique this 40 Day paradigm is!

Testimonials:
Since I found out about the concept last year (from you), I have done 3 rounds. The first time, on day 36 I found love after a very painful period of relationship upheaval and 3 years of being single just recovering from it. The second time, on day 37, on a whim I sent out a resume which landed me a wonderful new career. The third time, on day 40 (today), I was offered a big promotion in the aforementioned new career. Suffice it to say, my project 40s have *completely* changed the direction of my life, for the better. I feel like I have found my mate for life, and I now have work I love so much I can stand to work into the wee hours and defend it even though it doesn't pay very well... yet! So, if anyone has any doubts about the power of this technique, you are welcome to send them my way! Project 40 has changed my life; I can't thank you and the universe enough for sending it to me!! -Anne
-- I just wanted you to know how much I have appreciated and learned from the Project 40, and your caring support, wisdom and guidance has been immeasurable. Your Project 40 Rounds have shown me that I can commit to a regular practice of Introspection/Contemplation...and that has been a very big Gift to me – because I have doubted that I had a “disciplined bone in my body” and your Inspiration has shown me “I can do it!” Jai Ma!Thank you immensely. I may not have done every day, but I learned over time to keep the questions in mind and not give up and return to the Project.--SB
I was just briefly reading my journaling from some past P40s and I'm amazed. I end the 40 days always " ok that's done what next" knowing something or things have changed and shifted but not really able to put it into words or even describe in feelings what has happened is happening. Then I look back and say woooooo, as I read though the pastP40s and think I know this person, she is familiar but I don't fully relate to her any longer. I know it's me just that those issues feelings thought are of someone so lost confused desperate to belong, be accepted, understand. I feel so much stronger in who I am what my choices and decisions are. What my priorities are, how I want to live my life. I still don't know how it's all going up happen or when. I do know it all will at the perfect time. I am here to witness and experience the journey. P40 is a great venue for growth, and digging in to the places that may have been " saved for last" or later. Later is now. -T.W.
Thank you so much Sherene. I have evolved so much through this process. The real me is back. Project 40 was an amazing prescription for me. My relationships are better – me and my mum are so much more expressive of our love together. I have been honest when things aren’t going well in my new relationship and he has listened and responded to my needs. No tit-for-tat love in any of these relationships. I feel closer to my girlfriends. My self-worth – I know I’m good enough, pretty enough as is the next girl on the street. I know that I’m also responsible for bringing love and happy times into other peoples lives and I can orchestrate events too. I feel alive, burning through old shell, full of love and ready to give the world my best.-Kam
I read each email on the train and really appreciate your sharing and your guided questions like arrows piercing the truth. Thank you. You are such a major part of my healing. Even my physical therapist notes the improvement, it's on a cellular level. Yes, your way of journaling is inspiring and you ask the 'right' questions to help me really think about my self and gain insight. Grateful. --L.R.
