Between Defeat and Destiny
with Emma Philbin Bowman BA, MIAHIP

A free Online offering 

'Between Defeat and Destiny is a carefully crafted distillation of a theme I have been passionate about for many years: how to retrieve passion, buoyancy, and vitality from the shadows of stagnation and despair. Christopher Bollas' understanding of this territory is potent, original and a hugely supportive vehicle for those engaged in inner work. Between Fate and Destiny covers the kind of territory that will speak to people who love Leonard Cohen - textured, expansive and paradoxical...'

Emma

This humble, self-paced course speaks to three deep strands in each of our psyches: Fatalism, Destiny and Yielding. Based on the innovative and brilliant work of psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas,

Between Defeat and Destiny offers a fresh view on n how we may engage compassionately with territories of despair and re-align with our vitality and uniqueness.

'Emma’s deep insight into these themes was profoundly awakening for me. It led me to discover the subtle, dynamic relationship between fate and destiny... I began to see where I had more agency in my life, my future, not purely based on a pessimistic view, originating in the past.'

MOB

'Emma’s ability to juxtapose the concepts of fate and destiny and introduce yielding into the mix is powerful and evocative...'

Sue

About my work: *Between Defeat and Destiny is an extract from my more extensive offering Tending Our Future, a course that is available in self-paced and live versions. My approach strives to make rich analytic theory more widely accessible, by way of a synthesis with contemporary integrative spirituality and live, presence-based explorations in small groups.

To inquire further: emmapb@me.com

Available free of charge for the month of December, Between Defeat and Destiny is suitable for psychotherapists, clients, and others involved in inner work.
