Pacifica Graduate Institute

Call Directions Website

Pacifica Graduate Institute Pacifica is an accredited graduate school with two campuses in Santa Barbara, California

The importance of symbol and metaphor in personal and cultural imagery or the recognition of the dynamic interplay between the natural world and the world of the human psyche—are articulated in all of the Institute's programs. At its core, Pacifica is rooted in its vision: animae mundi colendae gratia (for the sake of tending the soul of the world). Our learning environment and curriculum draws students from around the world by offering them a variety of different cultural experiences and competencies. Students learn to engage in an empathetic and meaningful way the complexity of what it means to be a global citizen and to fulfill the Pacifica mission of tending to the multiplicity of soul in the world.

Nicole K. Miller, PhD is the founder of the coaching and consulting company, Minding the Story, and the process of Unstorying™, an empathy-based, narrative-focused, Jungian shadow integration practice for personal and collective change.

She is also teaching the Pacifica Extension microcredential, Foundations of Unstorying®: Self-Actualization Shadow Work Through a Jungian, Nondual Lens.

More info here: https://extension.pacifica.edu/foundations-of-unstorying-self-actualization-shadow-work-through-a-jungian-nondual-lens/

In this interview she discusses theoretical foundations to embodied practices, how the course will engage with shadow material, the process of Unstorying™, and the collective's role in shaping personal shadow.

Dr. Miller holds a Masters and PhD in Mythological Studies with an Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica. Following completion of her doctoral program, and with a lifelong love of story and its mythic resonance, deep work in the silence of the heart with a nondual teacher, and a lifetime of exploration, Dr. Miller felt the call to step out of the safe, expected boxes of her life, and into the liminal spaces.

She is also contributing faculty on the Jung Platform, offering courses on Shadow Work, Unstorying™, Myth, and Creativity, and holds yearly trainings for the Unstorying™ Certified Practitioner Program. For more information about Dr. Miller and Unstorying™, please go to mindingthestory.com
