As with the streets of Oakland, California; three families’ lives intersect and are bound by blood ties, secrets and deceit. Each one, desperate to put their sordid pasts behind them, has strived to create the perfect life for themselves and their children. Consumed with the petty criminal activities of their children, as well as dealing with their own trust issues with each other, each parent will do anything and everything to protect their legacy. However, when the actions of three friends attract the attention of an Oakland kingpin, hidden truths and long-buried rivalries bubble to the surface. A case of mistaken identity that ends in murder shakes the very core of each person involved. Are they able to come to terms with their past transgressions and move ahead to a clean future, or will the secrets and lies lead them down a path of destruction? The streets of Oakland are waiting and watching.

his issue focuses on imaginal psychology, a newly coalescing orientation to psychology with an ancient taproot. Imaginal psychology stands alongside other major orientations to psychology- cognitive behavioral, depth, humanistic and transpersonal. What is distinctive to imaginal psychology is its care of the soul. The soul expresses itself primarily in images, from whence this orientation derives its name. Some theorists associated with the orientation of imaginal psychology include James Hillman, Thomas Moore, Aftab Omer, Jean Houston, Shawn McNiff, Robert Sardello and Mary Watkins. Articles in this issue showcase the versatility of imaginal psychology to wrestle with difficult social issues that too often fall off the radar of psychology: soullessness and evil, class identity and shame, accountability in broken relationships where harm and injury have been caused; and collective historical trauma

Intuition for a World in Crisis

REED, HENRY

In recent years the environmental challenges facing humankind have gained increased recognition, as have the psychological impacts of these global threats. In this special issue of ReVision, leading ecopsychologists take the next step, demonstrating how to foster ecological sensitivity, and not merely react to environmental crises. In theoretically rich, yet practical essays, readers learn how to become more intimate with nature in a range of settings-from semester-long "Natural Presence" geology classes in an urban university, to week-long "Diamond in the Rough" wilderness retreats, to fleeting experiences encountering nature in one's own backyard using a phenomenological approach. Contributors to this special double issue on ecopsychology seek to cultivate greater environmental awareness in a variety of ways, including - Drawing on personal experiences of relating more deeply with nature. - Enhancing mindfulness of the natural world through Buddhist practice, either as traditionally practiced or as merged with wilderness therapy. - Highlighting cultural influences on environmental identity. - Engaging with diverse approaches to research, including - among others - quantitative and qualitative studies across cultures, laboratory experiments in cognitive psychology, and literary analysis.

The earth-human relationship is the most pressing and encompassing issue of our times. Visionary perspectives on the earth-human relationship are assembled in Earth Dreaming. A transpersonal approach highlights the possibilities of awakening to a new global consciousness. A mythic perspective tells, in the brevity of words and potency of images, the billion-years evolutionary journey of our planet. A depth psychological perspective perceives ecological complexes-points of deep environmental wounding that resonate into the human psyche. Still, our everyday existence provides openings to participatory kinship with the planet. The portal provided by our natural attachment to pets can extend to other non-human attachments. The vegetative world provides a portal to the evolutionary wisdom of interdependence and co-creation. The sensate capacities of our bodies offer a portal into an earth-embracing consciousness. In the portal provided by nighttime dreaming, three types of earth dreams those restoring psychic kinship between human and earth, those asking us to witness earth's destruction, and those pointing towards earth healing. Dreams, expressions of pure nature, offer inspiration during this dark, chaotic phase of decay in Western civilization.
